Are you what you drive?

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I was thinking more NYC or a european city.

Alright we have the car thread on here already, but you guys need to start posting pics of yo whips! (That's slang for your automobile nerds!) Let's see some pics!

 

[barfo]

It IS up to you!

I have lifted your yoke and empowered you.

Thank me later. You've got a plane to catch:

What they don't show is the packs of teenaged Dutch on their jetskis, tearing thru the village at midnight.

weird, you guys had the exact same cars....he had a Cayenne Turbo too. :MARIS61:

I am actually your friend Fabio! My picture, avatar, and whatever else that makes me "MAGS" is all a facade.

 

[magnifier661]

Okay so here is mine. Show me yours.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Nothing wrong with that ride. Looks pretty "clean". Thanks for the compliment on my Benz. The AMG spoiler kit is sexy. The stock E-Class isn't all that great, in terms of body style. Although, I was seriously close on getting the E-55 Convertible. That car is straight up sexy and the price is really good for the type of car.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Yeah I don't like modifying cars at all, I like to blend in. Don't want to tint the windows even...

I figure I kind of drive aggressively, don't want people to recognize my car later and key it.

I'm currently looking to replace my A6 and will also soon replace my pickup for something like a recent model Ford F-150.

You need a Raptor. You just know you do.

I had to look it up to see what you were talking about. Holy crap! Would that ever be more truck than I need.

I'm building a house largely on my own in Eagle County and given what I need to haul up every weekend, my six cylinder Chevy S-10 just isn't cutting it.

 

[andalusian]

I am not a truck guy (I understand their appeal, rent one twice a year on average, etc... - but not a real "I gotta have one" guy) - but I absolutely love that beast.

 

[THE HCP]

A few years old, but I love it!

Cool story, bro.

Wasn't that the point of the thread?

THIS CARS REPRESENTS ME TO THE FULLEST!

In my mind:

Right now it's a dirt and gravel road up to the construction site. In inclement weather, my current rig has trouble making it. I'm definitely getting a 4X4.

does your daughter get pissed when you pick her up in the station wagon? haha. i remember those days!

It's impressive that you are doing a lot of the work yourself. I built the two sheds and did the Pergola and most of the back yard of my current house - but building the house itself is quite a task. Hope to do something like that (or a log cabin) sometime in the future. I find that building stuff with my hands is very therapeutic - probably would not feel that way if it was my daily job.

Very cool!

 

[Mediocre Man]

What about your minivan . . . you swore by that vehicle.

I traded it in for the Jeep.

It was a great vehicle though

Last night was the first time my oldest has ever mentioned it. My wife drove the wagon to work and met us at a softball game. She had stuff in her car she needed, so she took the girls for ice cream. My 7 year-old is starting to get materialistic.

 

[THE HCP]

Papa....... you have a 7 year old!!!!???? I thought you were some 65 year old grumpy closed minded grandfather!!! Seriously?

That's Ageism. Why can't he be a 65 year old grumpy closed minded grandfather with a 7 years old?

I don't know if "you are what you drive". But I do think what you drive will be a pretty good indicator of what you enjoy doing and what is important to you.

As for me, I drive a Ford F-150. It is a good indicator of what I do and what is important to me since I use it for camping, hunting, going to the mountains for skiing, going to the lake, transporting my bikes, etc, etc... Basically things that I couldn't do with my BMW 540i that was before the F-150.
