So, I'm dreadfully bored at work at the moment and thought to myself "Hmm, I wonder what kind of vehicles the people in Avian drive?"

I am a proud owner/operator of a 2000 VW Jetta, that recently was kind enough to produce a check engine light that I haven't had a chance to have looked at for the past 2000 miles :)

:oops: Ford Aspire :oops:
I hate my stupid car and I hate Ford. Car breaks down all the freaking time, first time I took it to a Ford Shop, the charge me 1200, say they fix my #3 pistion and finally gave me back my car after a month. Oh yeah had to spend another 1000 just to rent a freaking car that month to. So yeah 2 years later guess what, I have the same problem, same #3 piston....grrr. Anyway my dream car that I have wanted since they came out in 1998 is a New Bettle VW. I love them things. And I want it red, and I am going to get black bit dots on it and two antinas and put a bra on it and probably add a little tint to my headlights to make them look like eyes and it will be my Lady Bug :) hehe. Anyway that is my plan.

I love Hondas and I will probably always drive one. Right now Ive got my 1990 Honda Accord LX with 172k miles on it. Still works great mind you. ;) When I graduate college and get a real job Im going to upgrade to a Honda Civic with a Hybrid engine. One more Yay for the environment. :)

Oh, and this is me picturing Raezer's dream car.... :shock:

Yikes, am I the only one driving a car from the eighties? :shock:

'85 Audi 80 with 160k miles on it. I decided to not spend money on this baby and just drive it until it died on me, so that's what I've been doing the last five years :)

Seriously though I would like to buy a Jaguar. Probably an E-type in British racing green. That is once I've actually learnt to drive!

Two years ago (when I lived in Germany) I had a BMW and an Audi (the BMW, which stands for Break My Wallet was always in the shop being repaired).

Now that I'm married, I have a pair of shiny shoes that I use to walk myself the 15 minutes to work. My wife has our car.

She assures me that this is how it's supposed to be.

I think my dream car (one of them) would be an Audi TT. The hardtop though. I don't like the convertibles as much. Gotta have it in the dark green.

Here's my dream car:

My dream armoured car, that is.. the BTR-70. Not all that fast, but you'll never be claiming on the insurance with this baby!

They are REALLY uncomfortable, especially on a 48-hour drive.

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee. This was the second car that I bought completely new. Since I moved from New Hampshire to Virginia I thought I might not need a 4-wheel drive car anymore and was thinking of switching to Honda Civic Hybrid. Then the winter came. I picked up more coworkers last winter than you would believe. People were asking me really dumb stuff like can you get down my road there is only about 20 inches of snow on it. Yes, I am from the north and I can drive pretty well in the snow. But no, it is a four wheel drive CAR, not a snowmobile.

Plus I got a date with a nurse I picked up volunteering to drive medical workers to the hospital. I will never trade my Jeep!

That's awesome others have mentioned the Honda hybrid! Right now, my wife and I make do with one car - not too difficult since her full-time job is wife and mommy-to-be. When the time is right and we find ourselves needing a second car, it will certainly be a hybrid-type vehicle. I figure driving an SUV and a hybrid kinda balances out the environmental karma (I know, I know, not as good as driving two hybrid's, but c'mon...I gotta have one big car!).

When my brother was hired one month before graduating from college, he wanted an Audi TT. It was his dream car at that time.... but the dealer did not think he was a serious customer because of his age. It was not an Audi dealership, it was a high end foreign car dealership, and this old man ran the Audi side of the business was an ass.

He was such a pain to deal with that. After I saw how much of a jerk he was to my brother I told my brother to find a real Audi dealership. Instead my brother ended up driving up the street and buying a Lexus and a 5k dollar TV.

I still would love to see him with the Audi.
