Do you like your car? You should have a car you like.

It’s a shame that I don’t have ‘my’ car to to like, but I do like what I drive to work and back.

I drive a Scion TC Gran Coupe, AKA Toyota Camry. I’m indifferent.

I like my pickup. And I like that you like your car. We should all like our cars and respect other people’s liking of other cars.

More than I thought I would when I bought it, honestly.

Sudden thought: the regular Prius has this notchback thing going... does that make it a Prius Gran Turismo?

Yes and no (Fiat 500). Yes it’s fun to drive and fairly cheap to run. No because it isn’t very comfortable to commute in, it has some annoying tendencies and it doesn’t quite fit our needs. I think that’s going to lead me to change cars sometime soon.

I do like my car. I think it is the best car for someone who needs a manual, the ability to carry a bunch of stuff, sometimes sleep in the car, go on dirt roads sometimes in poor condition, and travel long distances without getting raped in the ass by the gas pumps.

I like my 530i and Corolla. The 530i is nice for long drives with lots of noise insulation, a banging sound system, heated seats and steering wheel for cold days. The suspension is a bit firm, but that’s likely because it could use some new parts.

I can beat the Corolla senseless and it just asks for more. Its a comfy ride, the seat is comfy, and its actually quite fun to drive (94/5speed). I bought it for $100 and put $150 into it to make it roadworthy.

I guess I like my Montero. Its great in the snow. Otherwise it sucks gas, burns oil, and has a hard time cooling/warming the cabin. It’s good to take to Home Depot or take all of us (me, wife, kid, 2 dogs) somewhere. I wouldnt miss it if somebody offered to buy it

I still like it, but the fact that it really is too small for our needs is a bummer.

I do indeed:

It doesn’t generally catch the Toyobarus on an autocross course (partly because of the weight and partly because most of them have better drivers behind the wheel) but it is a ton of fun. The S54 sounds brilliant when you rev the crap out of it with the top down. :)

Do you run the FR-S in the winter, or does it hide away from the salt?

I love these 2 cars more than anything else I’ve ever owned including a Challenger SRT8.

Old cars are a fucking blast! They are cheap to buy and easy to work on. I bought the truck with the idea that I would sell the Lincoln to pay for the truck. But now I’m thinking of keeping both the truck and the Lincoln. I’m having too much fun with both of these.

I love both of my cars. I will love my next cars too, except maybe the first “truck” I get. That will be purely to haul racecar and equipment and will probably be an Izuzu NPR, used aberlamps or something.

I kinda like my car. I don't REALLY like my car though. In order to really like my car it would have to be a manual, which I will never have again, unless I get a second me-only car, as my wife can't drive a manual (and flat out refuses to learn).

Yeah those are an unexpected pleasure. I have a v70 classic parked in front of the house. Bought it cheap for one year. That’s three years ago.

I hear ya! My truck is the single most inefficient I’ve ever owned. I’d be really surprised if it get 12mpg hwy.

A 3spd auto with low(numerically high) rear end gearing is not what I would call eco friendly.

Very true. Maybe they could get you a good deal upgrading to an L or the upcoming X.

500L transmissions=VERY do not want. Apparently both the manual and automatic versions are unreliable. It’s a shame, I liked the one I drove except for the transmission.
