These are my cars: The blue one is a 95 Plymouth Neon and the black one is a 94 Ford Probe. I LOVE Ford Probes, and since my first one was totaled many years ago I jumped when I found another one for sale at a reasonable price. So that's the car that I use now, although it cost me $1200 to get it pass inspection recently. The Neon is currently gracing my front lawn and will cost me about $500 to get it to pass inspection, but I might pay for that anyway since I have a new job that'll put a lot of milage on my car and the Probe already has 104,000 miles on it. We'll see. I might also post some "after" pictures of my 4 previous cars here if I get around to scanning them. I've had some really bad luck with motor vehicles.

Hehe, I'm remembering about this advert for a Ford Ka I have on the computer. It's short but it's cool. Actually, I've just checked, it's for a FordSportKa(man they confuse me when they change the name slightly because it's a newer model). I can send it to you if you want. I know two of them, one with a pigeon and one with a cat, both of them hilarious yet sinister. Which one do you have?

Seems like you do like cars though don't you Izzy?

The cat one is even more sinister. So there's the car, and there's a cat climbing the car, but then the cat gets suddenly curious about the... you know, that glass cars have on top of them that open and close. So the cat is peeking through it when the glass misteriously opens. The cat peeks inside the car, but then the glass starts closing.
Result.
A beheaded cat.

LOL! ;D That's hilarious! I think they call it a berlina or something. Or perhaps cabriolet, not sure. But I know what you mean anyways.
Hehe, I love it when people do a sense of humour to their advertisements.

My favourite car ad is still the Honda Accord one where they used all the bits of the car in the ad and filmed it in one take. That was awesome.

I think I saw an ad once, it was kinda long but you get the parts of a car, doing like a dominoe thing; one thing touches a part and it start moving onwards, until it stops when it touched another. I can't remember the type of car though.

[glow=white,2,300]I've seen that cat beheading one and I was laughing the hell out of myself. That "glass bit" on the top is called a "sunroof" where I live, maybe different elsewhere.
Well since most people have told us what their cars are, how about veering towards "What is your dream car?"
Personally I adore my Smart but if I was to have any car/s is the world (without a question of money) I'd have one of the following:
Jaguar XK Jaguar XJ BMW M3 Chrysler PT Cruiser
I guess I'm a fan of luxury 'cus I absolutley love Jags....especially the new ones (triple DVD screens...)[/glow]

it may be my computer, but i can't see it, Isbister.
I'm also fifteen, and having just received the papers to apply for my permit, i obviously can't dry legally just yet. I don't have a car, either. Lucky you, Jake. And, needless to say, i don't care what kind of car i get, as long as its a truck, and its NOT a chevrolet.

What's wrong with Chevys? I've never seen one in Australia...
Gee. I would never trust myself driving at 15. Or anyone else for that matter. Here you can get a learner's permit at 16. If you're a learner you have to have someone fully licensed with you in the car. After 120 hours' worth of driving/learning time you can apply for your probationary license by doing a driving test and one of those multiple choice computer tests. If you've got a prob license it means you can drive by yourself but you must have a blood alcohol reading of 0.00. You're on your probationary license for 3 years, if you're good, and more time than that if you're busted drink-driving, speeding, etc. After that time you get a full license.
Anyway, back to the point at hand. I don't understand how you can drive at 15, or at the very least drive so many cars. Did you buy them? Where did the money come from to get them? You and your family must be really, really, filthy rich if you've got 6 cars in your name. I'd hate to imagine how much insurance and registration on those would cost!
