So you're a Magnum fan? Then what kind of car do you drive?

For everything else!

As long as we're talking about Chevys...I had a 1978 Caprice Classic that I bought when it had over 100,000 miles on it. I drove it for 9 years and put over 200,000 on it myself. We spent very little money on it...just tune-ups and tires. It was the most amazing car I ever owned! Just thought I'd share! :D

So after lots of confusion, I finally got a picture posted....I hope....

Me and my beloved 530i stuck on I-5 last year in 100 degree heat. The CHP had to MedEvac someone who had run into the center divider. Very sad. :cry:

Actually he said it was a $60,000.00 car :wink:
As for me, I have a Dodge truck, the MRS drives a (really nice) Ford Explorer. As for the MPI vehicles I was always fond of the 1980 Jimmy. Shame we didn't see more of it.

I drive a 03 VW Jetta; dark grey. It's got a bike rack on it though, so that's cool, I guess... Oh, and it's a diesel so I get 44 mpg or so. :D
My darling, you look ravishing... A-heh, heh heh... A little champagne?

No Ferrari for me, just a nice Land Rover and once the snow goes, a Triumph.

Do you know you' re not unlucky with gas prices in U.S. ?
Now in my city 1 liter = 1,50 euro ! => 1 gallon = 8,80 $ :shock:
Our gas is cheaper but our health insurance bites! :cry:

Oh and to keep with the car theme, a Toyaota Corrolla 2001. Never have been a car guy. As long as it gets from point A to B, I'm good, though in the show I liked the Jimmy-seemed more practical to me

Congratulations, SL! :D Very cool, indeed.

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

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!
