Now I know a lot of you guys drive. What kind of car/truck/motorcycle/etc do drive?

Right now I'm driving a '93 Buick LeSabre Custom. Leather seats, climate control, a sick little V6 under the hood (Tops out at about 125. Not bad for an old man car ) and under 125000 miles.

My old beast was a 1992 Chevy Lumina. That car deserved to retire with all the hell I put it through.

I drive a 2008 Kia Optima. It's nothing special but it's reliable. Whenever I have to replace it, I plan on getting either a Chevrolet Volt or a Tesla Model S, depending on if I'm a medical student or a doctor then.

Hehe I drive a 89 Nissan 300zx. It's technically still stock, I just added the turbo that was supposed to come with it =). Getting close to the 140k mark so all in all it's a pretty reliable car.

Me, I could care less what it tops out at. I've never tired. It's all about the acceleration to me.

.......

I need a car.

Dude depending on where you live, you can find pretty sweet deals on cars. I bought my Z for $750 except needed car work. Tranny swap and rebuild done, along with new mounts front and rear end, it's doing good now. So if your having problems finding car, just look around for grandpa's cars or something like a honda. Just remember though anything really under 2k is going to need some type of car work, weather it be small or extensive. I learned how to do everything on my car so it's been cheep for me. If you don't know how to work on your car though, ehh, I'd be careful and maybe buy a car around the 5k plus range instead. Or get right in the middle of a car needing TLC. Gotta start somewhere.

My opinion.

It's not about money or availability, it's about the fact tat, despite the fact I'm about to be 21 years old, I never took a proper driving evaluation. Barely a few training rides with my father, but I haven't done any of those in a while. Money is not actually the issue with me.

Ha that's an easy one then. No one taught me how to drive clutch, but one day I bought myself a POS honda prelude (that was manual), and forced myself to learn while I drove it back to my house. Scary as heck? Yes. Sometimes you just gota throw yourself at a problem and hope you come out alive.

Again depending on where you live, weather be here in the stats or somewhere else, as long as you know what the brake and gas are used for and where they are, go and learn in a parking lot. Or on a privet road. As long as your on someone else's property and not on a public road, technically you don't need a license. I'm sure someone else can chime in to help verify that.

If it is of any relevance, I was born and bred on Argentina, inside it's capital city of Buenos Aires, to be precise. You know, the one that got destroyed by the space bugs in Starship Troopers?

Unfortunately, I'm on college right, now, and neither I nor my father have currently much time to spare on driving lessons (poor daddy is gonna wind up dead with all the work he puts himself up to in order to pay all the bills and keep me and my siblings all happy and safe.), but, hopefully, we may get more time in July (those are the winter vacations down here, below the Ecuator).

Ah yup that's a different situation. Well then all I can do is wish you the best of luck. I hope all the best for you .


Edit: Yeah I just realized I kinda messed up this thread... sorry OP. Sorry Everybody =/.

I had a dream last night that my dad bought me a 2007 purple convertible Ferrari for $5,000. Then I woke up to my 1998 Nissan Sentra GXE, covered in dirt with its duct tape window. XP Le sigh.

Also, craigslist is a good place to look for used cars. We bought my Nissan with 66,000 miles on it (and all windows intact, I'm the dummy who locked her keys in her car) for $2,900. Everything was in perfectly good condition.
