We should put together a list of all the cars us oppo'ites drive.

Currently, I do not own a car. :(

But am lusting after that Saab I posted earlier or may be looking to get a Miata soon.

What about you guys and gals?

To show your car: reply with a picture and a brief description.

It's a bit of a heap, to be honest (the air dam held together with zip ties and duct tape gives a good idea of the state of the rest of the car), but I'm slowly improving it. Best cheap-beater purchase ever, in my opinion.

2007 Volvo S60R w/ 77k and a manual gearbox. The turning radius sucks, it's expensive to maintain, and it don't get no respect.

However, I have no clue what I'd ever replace it with. I want AWD, a manual gearbox, and prestige. I don't want an Audi because they're way too basic. I want something more refined than a Subie, and I'm not a big enough douchebag for a BMW.

There is a Google Doc of it somewhere, though I have no idea what the link is. I think Gamecat has it though.

My daily is a 2000 Dodge Dakota with the 5.9L Magnum engine mated to a 5-speed manual.

My wife's car is a 2010 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4.

Other car is a 2011 Chevy Aveo. Currently trying to sell it (unless someone wants to donate a ton of money for me to turn it into a rally car!).

Thanks, I got it in january '12 and it was a great deal considering how clean and mechanically sound it was. I replaced the chrome (grill and window trim) with matte black and painted the front bumper and headlight trim black too.

Even though this kind of post has been done before, I like them because I get to put up my Car-B-Que VW Golf photos.

VW Golf Trendline — imitated a Ferrari and spontaneously went up flames

VW Golf Sportline — rightly or wrongly, I jumped back into a Golf of the same year, but with better equipment. This one has been great, it even survived a trip to the track!

Another close purchase for me, except it was a wagon. Love the looks and fell in love with the seats and track ball shifter.

A Regal Somerset Rally car would be most Jalop. And you already have the highly sought after magnesium R-Sport wheels covers. Remember, the more rally lights the better.
