What kind of car do you drive? - Page 3

*C'jais* · 10-19-2002, 07:59 AM

Still not 18 yet, which is the age requirement for car license in Denmark.....

Is it true you can drive a car when you're 15 in the states?

Bubba, you can drive when you're younger than that if you can "demonstrate a hardship" to the state in Texas! I knew several kids that were 14 who could drive because their families needed them to for the ranch to continue to operate.

These were the same guys that got up at the crack of dawn to feed their pigs, etc. before coming to school, though.

I got my license at age 18... I just drove illegally for 3 years

Jah Warrior · 10-19-2002, 10:27 AM

LOL if you get caught driving without a license here you can expect 6 months in jail as a compulsory minimum.

I got a Saab 9000 CD 2,3 Turbo and I'm loving it!

200hp/350Nm = quite enough power, for me anyways

It's got all the accessories imaginable and then some. Stuff like leather interior, automatic air conditioning etc. is quite rare in Finland..which makes me appreciate it even more.

Try getting f.ex. a BMW; they'll probably charge extra if you wish to have a steering wheel and some pedals with it. Greedy bastards! Buy a 50.000 € car and pay an extra 15.000 € just to get the necessary basic accessories (I'm not talking about really cool stuff)

I once counted the "specials" that my Saab's got and came to the conclusion that it was worth over 20.000 € (!!!), which is much more than I payed for the car.

Can't upload pics of it 'cause no-one tells me how/where to.

...but it's really, really pretty!

I kinda agree about American cars sucking.. never really understood why someone likes 'em so much.

Personally I love Alfa's! The engine sound alone makes bying one worth it

I can't really think of bying a new car at the moment.. just bought myself a house and I'm paying it off for the next 30 years or so.. oh well... but IF I was looking for a car, it would probably be something like:

The new Saab 9-5 Aero
Volvo S60 T4 or a S80.
Audi S-something
BMW
Alfa Romeo

Kstar__2 · 10-20-2002, 11:28 AM

in the netherlands=

18 for driving car
16 for buying beer
18 for buying alcoholic drinks (port, whine)
16 for doing "it"(u can do it under that age, but if you're 17, and you do it with a girl that's 15, she can sue you)
16 for smoking

and i'm 14, and i drink bacardy breezer, pasoa, beer......boy am i illegal

Luc Solar · 10-20-2002, 11:48 AM

You forgot to mention: Drugs available to all at your nearest "coffee shop"!

....oh well, in Finland we have to pay 3 x as much for liquor 'cause otherwise we'd drink ourselves to death...at least that's what the goverment thinks.

Goten583 · 10-20-2002, 10:21 PM

My good ol' 92 Saturn SL1

I'll have many cars one day, but ill never forget my Saturn cause it was my first!!

XERXES · 10-20-2002, 11:28 PM

1996 4 door 4x4 chevy blazer in light blue. All leather, i put a custom stereo in it...cool as hell. Also has 31in mud terrain tires, wide fenders and a body lift.

ShockV1.89 · 10-21-2002, 12:37 AM

Thats my ride. Mines black.

One of these days, I'll drive this...

but not today...

Luc Solar · 10-21-2002, 11:21 AM

Okay, heres mine (lousy pic...but the only one I could find)

Don't mind the orange decoration-thingie. I rarely use that unless I'm getting married 'n stuff

EDIT ...crap. Won't show up. Try using this:

Luc Solar · 10-23-2002, 03:38 AM

Hmmm...any ideas on how to make pics actually SHOW UP?

Sometimes they do, somethimes they don't. I'm often forced to check the path ('properties' of the non-visible pic) to see what people are trying to post.

So is there a way that works 100% of the time or is it just luck?

*GonkH8er* · 10-23-2002, 03:46 AM

some sites dont allow deep linking...

I drive a yellow '99 VW A4 beatle, all stock, 2.0l engine, the base one. I think its 16 valves, might be 8, have to look.

whoa, BABY will that sucker rev

and the shifter, OHH MAN! its so light and smooth, only one finger is needed to work it

'course 95000 miles(american miles, not those wierd imp one's

) will do that.... bad part is the clutch is also 95000 miles old... only need to move it a inch and a half to disengage it

but it does'nt slip

oh yeah, the handling not to pokey niether eh?

edit: the only pics I have of it are old, I will have to take new one's sometime

You've got a '99, and you've managed to drive it almost 100,000 miles in 3 years? Do you drive for a living or something?

Chewbacco · 10-23-2002, 11:19 PM

I live in the U.S. and it will be two years till I can drive

But my dream car is something like a BMW or a Dodge truck.

Eldritch · 10-23-2002, 11:33 PM

Dodge... pfft. That's crap even by American standards. They're like the most uncomfortable car maker EVER.

well, I did not put the miles on it, it used to be my dads car. it would go on a (either) 300 miles each way/800 miles each way trip every 2nd week.

his new car, its less then a year old, almost 30000 miles

I dont complain, the other day, I was sloppy on the chutch, and the critter responded by crirping the tires on me.... not bad for a 115hp engine with 95000 miles on the clock, eh?

That's some SERIOUS heavy driving... what does he drive all that way for?

*SPY_jmr1* · 10-23-2002, 11:42 PM

its part of his job that needs to have him onsite a lot....

Eldritch · 10-23-2002, 11:50 PM

I figured it was job related. I used to have to drive 50 miles round trip 5 days a week for my job and I thought that was a lot...

Sedriss316 · 10-24-2002, 01:13 PM

I got 2 cars.... The daily driver is my 95 Dodge Stealth TT that i bought- Paint is Pearl Blue- Oh she looks good in the sun...... quick to.

2nd car that I own i got from my rents for graduation. Its a
1969 Dodge Superbee. Its gots a 383 fourbarrel, auto, with 323 gears. I love her to pieces......sure gets some attention

Chastan · 10-25-2002, 06:14 AM

I drive a '93 Mazda Protege... with a slushbox

Heh, if I get a 5 speed and import the japanese engine, maybe I can get it down to 12s...

that is so wrong, the only place with alot of coffee shop's is amsterdam, i live in a big city, but we have no coffee shop's

WolfmanNCSU · 10-25-2002, 01:05 PM

I have had three cars since I turned 15, which was the learners permit age at the time (there is a new "step" license that takes a little bit longer to get a full access license now?).

I had a '83 Toyota Celica for a year, but I was involved in an accident when a woman ran a red light and destroyed my car. Then I had a '89 Ford Tempo for a while until I sold it and got a '88 Ford Bronco II which I am still driving. Its not a bad car, just old, but looks fantastic. I am probablly only going to keep it until the end of this school year and get something nice after graduation.
