I drive a 1998 saturn sedan, which recently got keyed in the school parking lot  The right passenger door is falling apart and I have "custom racing stripes" on the right side of the car from an accident last year. She may not be easy on the eyes, but she gets me from A to B. My mother used to own a chevy truck, which broke down every other month. Shw finally sold it and bought a ford. My father owns a ford stationwagon and my older brother owns a severely pimped out ford pick up with fancy leather interiors. You know, because apparently horse trainers who spend all day in dirt, mud and manure need that sort of thing.  |

As I am the baby badger, I can't drive yet. But I get my permit next year (drivers beware). Until then I will continue getting towed around by my parents. Which isn't that bad....because my mum has the coolest car ever. It beats al of Jake's sportscars put together. because my mom drives one of these:  We call the color "Have A Nice Day" Yellow ;D |

Ahhh! New Beetle! New Beetle!  I was going to get one of those if I didn't get my mazda; my parents both drove old beetles when they were my age and they wanted me to have a new beetle for my first car... and I wanted a yellow one. ;D I liked the nice sunny yellow over that darker, cheese sort of yellow they have. Thing is, I play the cello and the drums and they wouldn't have fit into the car. But anyway, if I had heaps of money I would want five new beetles, one in each candy colour. But that's a long way away.

yup, four cars....and a moterbike but, to be fair, only the 1.2L punto is usable on road at the moment. (the diesel punto isnt taxed/insured, the spider isnt taxed, the GTV hasnt road legal for the past 15yrs) in fact...i think i have a picture of the spider floating around....yup, here we go:  no picture of the GTV, except this engine shot:  sorry if the pictures are too big |

Nice. Hehe I just noticed that all your cars are of Italian brands.
Recently I've taken this strange liking to the Beetle, or similar cars, like the Nissan Micra(having a car-obsessed brother makes you learn the names believe me :
In two years' time I might be getting my license. *shudder* Out of coincidence, yesterday I was telling my dad I would probably crash into 3 cars before I get the hang of parking without hitting the car behind you.

I was of course referring to the newer model. I'm not really a big fan of old cars. Jay Leno can keep those for all I care.
Out of coincidence, there's a programme being shown on TV right now specifically on cars. They're showing the Citroen C6, which in my opinion, looks terrible. Ugly front, small back...looks like an anorexic with a small butt and a long depressed face.(no offence to an anorexic people meant). |

Citroen C6 - i had to do a google search...  i agree, that car looks horrible. out of curiosity, what do all you people think of this *below* car? tinyurl.com/b2x7ptinyurl.com/865suaround 40bhp, 25mpg, a brick on wheels, yet always brings a smile to my face. what do you think? |
