No jet ski. That that really would be poncy!

No car for me. Just train (sometimes bus). I like it!

I drive a '92 Ford Taurus...what's that make me? Oh, and the rear two windows don't function...and I'm its 4th owner....but it's been in the family since the 2nd.

here are a few I have heard over the years

Cadillac = Blue Hair
Convertible Cadillac = Blue hair in Florida / Tempe
Opel GT = Poor Man Vette
Minivan = Soccer Mom
SUV = Soccer Dad
1/2 ton pickup = Working Man
3/4 ton Pickup = Wanna look like a working man
Lifted truck = Hillbilly
New Subaru = Liberal or Libro-ru
Old Subaru = Lezbo-ru
Really Old Subaru = Old Hippy
Lifted Jeep = Maniac
New Jeep SUV = Used to be a Maniac when younger
Black Van = Stalker
White Van = Serial killer / Child molester
Blue Van = Smart Stalker
Black Suburban = G-Man / Men in Black
Crown Vic = Cop
Older Crown Vic = Retired Cop

That's all I could think of off hand...

All in jest of course..

I am a sophistomicated man of the world, so I drive a Renault Koleos SUV.





Our other car is a 1995 Nissan Micra:



I really have no idea what that means..... maybe just that I am cheap..

My first car was a 50s Land Rover, donated by my Grandpa from his farmyard. Scared the jeepers out of the other lads at school when I drove in across the rugby field. But then they were Porsche & Ferrari driving sons of merchant bankers. The school groundsman thought it was hilarious & helped me keep it running for the next two years.

Now I do not drive. I just feel very smug & superior while I stand waiting for the bus as the drivers fume at the traffic. Does that count?

Oh the works Cooper is a rocket. Just a pity it is not a real old John Cooper 1175. They were both awesome & scary

I drive one of the most head scratching vehicles Canada ever built for GM- a custom ordered 1990 1/2 ton Scottsdale sport truck with a heavy duty towing package. The guy who ordered it didn't take delivery. I've been told that parts I've pulled off of it myself never existed, a lot of parts can't be found for it anymore, and it runs through clutch systems like none other.

I'm not sure what it means. I've hauled tractors and cars with it, but I imagine that the only thing I'll be hauling for a while now is ass I imagine that my new neighbors in Colorado will take it to mean that I'm an Okie (which I am). At least it's not lifted, right?

I ride a Buell Blast, aka the cheap, sporty Harley. It means I like the thrill of riding but can't afford anything with two cylinders.

My other car is a Dodge Caliber (SWMBO's car really). Feel free to fill me in on what that means. I picked it out because it was a good all around car and the little bugger has been growing on me ever since.

I have been driving: Lada Samara, Peugot 405, Ford Sierra and now a Camaro.

That exact combination actually makes me a man among men and an awesome person
