got a have the honda or nissan and even toyota. :duh:
 
I have an 1968 Datsun 1000, deluxe edition. HER name is Priscilla, and she is the most faithful girl I've ever had. She let's me ride everytime I want. :D

I've taken her apart so many times I barely look at the mechanichal manual anymore. Also, I've modified her a lot, adding power windows, new and more confortable seats, cd player, enhanced front disk brakes (originally this car has drums in al 4 wheels and no brake booster).

I have a Ford F150 out of practicality as I have horses and haul them in a trailer (it's an automatic--yuck). Have had a long list of cars, trucks and vans over the years--most fun was the "2-story shop dolley"--a hard top Suzuki Samurai (bad publicity but ya just have to use your common sense!!) Having a little Honda Civic poot-scooter would rock my world for every day driving. Chrylsers have bin berry berry gud 2 me! The 2 Chevy 6-cylinder pickups my ex had absolutely sucked!! I love cars, they are like moving sculptures. :dance2:

An F150 can pull a horse? I thought you needed a diesel? Maybe an F150 has deisel, I don't know these things :p: . Yah I'll stick with standards myself...automatics make my left foot bored.

The first time I was driving an automatic I lift my left foot, and slammed right into the brake pedal with full force as if I was pushing the clucth. I just heard my tires screaming, as well as the car bwhind me and the driver himself screaming too. :argue:

Hehe. I remember driving an automatic..it had been years since I had done that. Anyway I couldn't figure out why I was breaking sharper than usual. Then I realized I was using both of my feet, one on each pedal. Like you said, your clutch food is accustomed to going down hard and fast, not so for your break/gas foot. It took me a at least a day to figure this out. I thought he had touchy breaks!!!

You said it! I've seen a number of SUV rollovers, and they were all bad situations, but one of them was almost funny. One night I was following a pair of SUV's, one a new GMC Envoy, which was following a new Chevy Trailblazer (I don't even think they had hard license plates on them yet). We all exited a 270-degree descending offramp, all at a modest speed, and I was following a good distance behind when I saw the Trailblazer's headlights do something strange (because it was rolling over, then straightening out to flatten and come to rest partly on top of the guardrail perpendicularly while still upside down). I slowed down immediately. The GMC Envoy guy was following at what appeared to be a safe distance, but still got up on two wheels and smashed into the guardrail trying to keep from hitting the Chevy (which he tagged lightly, anyways...d'oh!).

The Chevy SUV driver got out cursing and kicking his vehicle, and his passengers were all crawling out of the windows (which were all broken) into the wet grass. I was going to offer my cell phone, but he was already on it, and nobody was injured (amazing). I mean, they weren't going fast at all and their vehicles still got off of 4 wheels and onto 2 (or the roof).

I guess as long as you don't drive them like a car, and treat them like a truck with a loaded lumber rack (common sense, like you said), you won't have these problems.

Nissan wasn't on the list

By far the best car's out there. All cars are nice for the first three years, and after that, American cars seem to fall appart. I don't like honda because of what people do to them (I know its not honda's fault, but oh well.) I perfer to keep a car till I can't drive it any more. Hopefully that means ten years.

Mazda's are good. Toyotas are ok, but I don't think they age as well as some other Japanese cars.
 
Other German, you didn't list a single german car. Also, jap is a derogatory term, does it really take that much time to type out Japanese?

BMW BABY!

You don't like the "Fast & Furious" look? C'mon, there's something appealing to having a chrome Yuban can for a muffler along with annoying exhaust noise.... :D

Can't stand them. Cant stand the noise they make most of all. What is the desire to have a car that sounds like a lawn mower? I'll accelerate faster then them, and their cars sound like they are working 3x as hard. I wish I had a spike strip to throw out in front of my house when I knew they were comming. :dance2:
