For those members that have a car, what are you driving?

Me, I've got a red 98 ford escort. Four door. Liscense plate: JBL-3737

I know she's not an awesome car, 4 banger and all, but god damn she has insane gas mileage. average around 38 miles per gallon.

It is like that but has a spoiler and chrome rims.

EDIT: Ibis this is basically the same car you have, except I have the Trio package and mine is blue. Ford Escorts and Mercury Tracers are the same except for minor differences.

that's awesome. I really love my car, it has been like a week and a half since I got gas and I'm just now hitting half a tank.

True. I can go to L.A. on Sunset, which is about 45 min. from my house and come back, got to Glendale the next day, which is 30 min. away, come back, and still have at least half a tank of gas. It is one of the few economy cars that doesn't look ugly or preform horrendously. The acceleration isn't that great, but it gets the job done. (Now to get a new radio for it and better speakers)

You got a car for your birthday? Holy shit man.

I don't have a car, but when I get my driver's lisence, I'll be getting me one.

1993 buick century darker blue one. got it a couple years ago with 58,800 miles on it, has little over 70 on it now. put a pioneer deck in it, nothing special. runs nice still but the gas milage isnt that great in city driving, highway it owns. v6 3.3L love it but would like a little more flash of a car. great first car none the less

You have a '69 Nova SS in your garage and you're complaining about power steering?! Man, I'd kill for that car. Care to post some pictures?

'98 Ford Taurus, Used. We also have an 87 Ford, blue, ... actually, I'm not at all sure, due to the fact that I'm definitely not a "Car person," ... but I can tell you that we used to have a very, very old car, from the mid 70's, in our garage. It died bringing me back from school, in a flood.

What a kickass flood that was.

lol - man, my 2005 Suzuki GSXR600 doesn't average that (about 35). Granted I don't exactly ride conservatively, but still, that's awesome.

I also own a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500, silver, quad cab, 4.7L V8 - hauls ass and pulls down 14 miles per gallon if they're not all city miles.

And a 2003 Pontiac Sunfire, silver, 5-speed.... don't really touch it b/c it's my wife's. ;)

I'll post pics if anyone's interested to see.
