Post your CAR!

[Mini-Me]

Hi.
:)
Inspired by the "Post your desktop" thread, I thought it would be interesting to see what people all over the world drive. Being a bit of a car nut, I would very much like to see pictures of any other members' cars. They need not be anything special - all cars have their own charm!
:D

I'll start the ball rolling...

This is my 1975 Vauxhall Viva 2-door.
Standard 1256cc engine and 4-speed manual.
1.75 inch exhaust with extractors(headers) and coby rally-cross muffler.

I am planning to drop a re-built/souped engine in during the summer break.

What do the rest of you drive?

...is a Fiat Multipla. It may not be the best looking car on the road, but I like it and the inside is like Dr Who's TARDIS. Those main beam lights mounted high up light up the countryside wonderfully.

[Mini-Me]

That's an interesting car. The high up lights are a good idea, but how do you stop them from blinding on-coming traffic? ;)

[Cavalier90]

Switch them off. Do you not have switches in NZ? :rolleyes: They only light up on main beam; dipped beam comes from the lights above the bumper, and these are the ones to use in town driving, etc.

No photo, but I love my Prius. I've had her for two years and she is fun to drive, and enconomical. Right now it is in the shop getting body work done. I parked ever so carefully choosing a spot where there was no parking on either side, just grass. Maintenance crew did not number on it anyway with their big mowing machine! :(

I'm 15, so...

But my dad has an Escalade ESV, (longer version of the Escalade), Mercedes SL550, and my mom drives an Acura MDX...

Hahah, I wish. Being 14, I can't yet drive. But my mom drives a Town & Country van and so does my dad, along with some old Ford pickup with motor problems.

[Mini-Me]

Cavalier90 - Owwwww, sarcasim!!!! ;) Yes, we have switches in NZ!!!
OK, so now I know. That's all I wanted!!!
:)
Sounds similar to here, where you have to wire any spot-lights(floodlights) to the high-beam circuit, and it is actually illegal here, to have spot-lights on the "Normal" low-beam circuit - which makes sence...

I like Pave's car!

-tyler - - nice ride!!!!
:D
What age do you have to be in the States, to start learning to drive?

Here in NZ, you have to be 15.

Other posters - thanks for your comments - I am hunting for pictures of your cars on the net...
:)

Here in Florida, I can get a drivers permit at the age of 15, which allows me to drive as long as someone with a driver's license is supervising me. I have to be 16 to get a license though. I believe it varies state-to-state, as up in North Dakota, I remember my grandparents saying you can get a license at 14, but i'm not entirely sure.

Up here in Alberta, we can get a Learners permit at 14 so we can drive with a parent. At 16, we can get a 'probationary license' where we can drive alone, but we're not allowed to get any demerit points. At 18, then you can apply for a full license.

Reid long time no see, how life ?Going well. Thanks for asking. I have looked at this forum occasionally, but with so many talented people providing replies, there is no need for me to step in. ;)

The time I used to invest in PC Guide is now spent in the DeLorme (mapping and GPS) forum, and I am now a moderator on that forum. My name in that forum is Emrol Ed.

For those of you who don't know about google's calculator feature, click here (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=352+cubic+inches+in+liters&btnG=Google+Search). I've been using it recently because we're house hunting in another city (looking at listings online, converting lot dimensions in feet to acres to give me a comparison with our existing lot.)

That looks like a sweet ride, Reid. :cool:
