Guess what people??? I am no longer wheel-less! I've been without a car since January 22nd of this year. I finally saved up enough $$$ to pay cash for a car! It's not a Ferrari, but it sure beats walking!

Woohooooooo!!

Congratulations, SL!

Very cool, indeed.

As my kids tell me: Don't forget to signal and try not to get a speeding ticket.

Mazda 626.

BTW, I saw an early 1980's Ferrari 308 last week. If I had a camera with me, I would have taken a photo (it was parked). It was red too!

I drive a 2001 Audi S4....I am a car/performance nut so I guess I dont count...haha. Ive always loved the S4's style and I am proud to say Higgins driving the 5000 got me interested in buying an Audi.

Still driving my beloved Z28. In fact I just paid it off last weekend.

The closest I get to being Magnum...cruising the Z on Seawall Blvd. on Galveston Island. It's not Hawaii, but it's as close as I can get!

red '86 JETTA. It's time to trade it in for a Ferrari!

I ride the bus.

Cue Higgins' uncontrollable laughter.

Magnum rode the bus once. 1st season, last episode "Beauty knows no pain"

Volvo.

It's probably more of a Higgins car.

When I was in high school (when Magnum PI was first being run on TV), my "plan" was to be a merchant marine engineer, drive a Ferrari, and possibly live in Hawaii. Well, none of that quite happened, although I did get a degree in engineering and I have had some decent cars. I have visited HI a number of times, but never felt a desire to move there (although, it is sounding better everyday!!).

My first real car was a 1990 Mustang 5.0 and I beefed up the suspension and intake manifold. It was a great car. My next fun car was a 1999 BMW M3. Those cars aside (I had each for about 3 or 4 years), I have usually driven SUVs. I now drive an Audi Q5, which is a smaller SUV that handles very well.

I had to buy a daily driver due to a change in job requirements. So here she is, my 2007 Chevy Monte Carlo LT. I'll get the 308 one day...

I used to have a red, convertible MGB... but it had so many mechanical problems I had to sell it. When it was working, my wife and I would drive down to the beach. It was pretty suave.... until gasoline started to pour out of the carbs and the fuel tank had to be replaced.

I now drive a very un-sexy Mazda 323. Not sure if you have them in the States.

IKnowWhatYoureThinking · Thu Feb 25, 2010 1:28 pm

They don't sell the 323 in the states anymore. I had a Mazda 3 before I bought my Mustang. It was a very nice car, and I would have kept it if not for wanting a Mustang forever.
