What are you driving?

[Thorgalaeg]

A Citroen C4 from 2006 diesel for everyday use which works flawlessly except it is beginning to suffer random electrical issues (worst type of issues) which I will probably replace with something else at some point in the future ( probably a cheap second hand gasoline hatchback or some electric crap if prices go down dramatically) Also have a sporty Opel GT Roadster (aka Pontiac Solstice GXP, aka Saturn SkY Red Line) which is beautiful and very funny but no very practical. Planning to get some affordable classic to restore myself, maybe a Corvette C3 Stingray or something with a V8 or V6.

Me too!

2013, plenty of knobs and cupholders.
Great vision, reliability, and is like an oversized go-cart.

The rear view mirror needs to be mounted higher up too.

It blocks vision for taller people.

I could care less about the "3rd visor frit" black dot pattern.

I wouldn't buy one of those newfangled knobless vehicles

I have not driven in one, but it looks so much harder to change a setting while keeping your eyes on the road with a TV screen rather than actual physical buttons and dials.

Wish I had my 1991 GTI again. I miss that car.

 

[Ordnael]

I stared at that picture longer than I expected! It is a beautiful car indeed, I as kid and even now I always regard the GTI MK2 as the most beautiful Golf. I worked at a second hand dealership for a brief time, and I had the pleasure of starting a MK2 GTI from time to time. Always loved the front with the dual round headlights. I had a toy car like that.

I totally understand what you mean. Even though at the time the old Mk2's were not as up to date creature comfort wise as it's competitors were, the GTI Mk2 had a lot of charm and character to it.

I remember that I removed the North American spec headlights and tail lights and put in the European spec lights. Although this was totally illegal in my part of the U.S. I managed to get away with it. Good times...

Do you ride a bike?

 

[Aiken_Drumn]

2012 Citroen Berlingo Multispace. Its an absolute dog with 220k on the clock and the electrics often failing in humorous French ways.

It was, however, ridiculously cheap at £1600, and has more than paid for itself doing various jobs for me.

When I finish my renovation I will likely sell it. I don't really need a car in this city.

 

[Hygro]

That is one ugly ride

 

[Aiken_Drumn]

It's a 1998 Toyota HiLux, single cab and of course manual transmission.

I've had a few of them. Brilliant as long as you don't need to drive anywhere far, quickly. On the farm they were excellent.

 

[Angst]

Do you ride a bike?

if i did, i'd get run over. denmark is bike haven, but i'm just generally too dizzy to follow traffic rules lol

used to bike a lot, i love it

 

[Hygro]

The Hilux is like the car of cars around these parts. It says you made it if you own one, but also they are just so practical.

Too dizzy to follow traffic rules?

 

[Angst]

Too dizzy to follow traffic rules?

yes, and too dizzy to notice cars and other bikes that don't.

 

[Aiken_Drumn]

L_J is my favourite bimbo

 

[Plains-Cow]

yes, and too dizzy to notice cars and other bikes that don't.

I'm not sure if I understand. Are you dizzy all the time?

 

[Angst]

I'm not sure if I understand. Are you dizzy all the time?

well it's maybe oversimplified. i'm specifically dizzy when i wake up and quite a bit after, about two hours, from some medication. which was why i stopped biking to uni to start with. but also then, and during the rest of the day, i have pressure and muddy thoughts if that makes sense. so am i dizzy all the time? no, but rest of the day is felt pressure and brain fog.

for biking, i had a day where the dizziness and fog had me almost run over twice. haven't biked since. for driving, i have not attempted to get a driver's license because i don't want to hurt anyone.

realize i ranted a bit. wasn't meant to make the thread about me, to be clear, lol
