Title: What do you drive?
Post by: super56k on October 04, 2006, 09:33:18 pm
What kind of vehicle do you drive?

This is my 1991 Plymouth Acclaim, it is equipped with a 3.1L V6.

There are some pretty sweet rides so far. 

I pretty much like every car manufacture out there except for GM and it's subsidiaries.
GMC
Pontiac
Chevrolet
Cadiliac
etc...

No pictures though?  :(

At least six of us drive, that is about as encouraging as the fact that five of us own Famicoms.  (http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=291.0)  Ha ha!  :P

"Fooey" is a hilarious word.  I remember you saying that your TV does not have the capability to go to CH96 or CH 97.  These are the channels that the Famicom's CH01 and CH02 broadcasts on.  Go through your VCR.  That is what I do.

Hehe. I don't even have a VCR or DVD player or anything like that -- not even Laser Disc. But I'll finally be able to use my Famicom when I move in about two months. :)

Well that's good at least.  I do not know how you have the patients to wait though.  I have been without a Famicom ever since my Famicom's RF board fried, and my new one has yet to arrive.  It has been almost two weeks, and I can hardly stand it.
Title: Re: What do you drive?
Post by: JC on October 20, 2006, 04:00:47 pm
Oh you have no idea how much patience I have. And besides...I've got a pin converter so I can game on my NES. I just can't use the special doo-hickeys that go with the Famicom. :(

Walking is probably much, much healthier. Ever since I got a car (about 6 months ago) I've seen my gut grow a little bit larger.

I drive a couple of 1983's feet.... they still feel like new!  ;D

I don't have a car, and don't feel like I need one right now; I'd rather use that money (if I had any) in an insanely big 1080p TV! (I'd say a NWC cart, but my fiancĂ©e  would kill me!! hahahahahahaaaa)
Title: Re: What do you drive?
Post by: manuel on January 03, 2009, 05:57:32 am
With your nickname I thought you'd say something like that.  :D

I also don't have a car yet, but I think we'll get a cheap and small one this year.

I'd also like a big, bad-ass HDTV, just like Walky.
That 103'' Panasonic might be a bit too much, though. (http://panasonic.jp/viera/products/pz800/index.html (http://panasonic.jp/viera/products/pz800/index.html)). This one needs a heavy-duty outlet.  ;D

Man I can't imagine my life without a car. Taking the bus here is horrible and expensive too so I rather have a car and pay the 1.59 a gallon of gas rather than the 2 dollars one way bus price.
Title: Re: What do you drive?
Post by: PatMan33 on January 03, 2009, 11:25:44 am
Let's weight the options... take the bus and get raped or spend most of my money keeping my car filled.

Hm...

I drive a Ford Explorer from the great year of 1994.
Title: Re: What do you drive?
Post by: FamicomFreak on January 03, 2009, 11:29:16 am
Heh yeah I only spend like 10 dollars every two weeks and drive around everywhere. Only sometimes when I drive to further places like the flea market which I don't do often I fill the tank a little more. I rather drive car than take the stinking bus any day but that's just my opinion because the transit system here in Miami is next to garbage.
Title: Re: What do you drive?
Post by: PatMan33 on January 03, 2009, 11:33:56 am
Hah, I have a friend who just got back from an extended stay in Miami and she said the same thing about the public transit system.
Title: Re: What do you drive?
Post by: FamicomFreak on January 03, 2009, 11:41:10 am
See witnesses! Miami transit system sucks balls. I'm the one that drives around my whole family now because the bus sucks ass so much.
Title: Re: What do you drive?
Post by: JC on January 03, 2009, 12:02:43 pm
Well, if you live in a small rural area like me, you've got no choice but to have a car. Most people around here have jobs that either require that they haul things or that they commute 45 miles to the big city. Personally, I'd love to have a job so close to home that I could walk to it, but it ain't gonna happen.
Title: Re: What do you drive?
Post by: Doc on January 03, 2009, 12:04:43 pm
I used to be able to just walk everywhere, but not anymore. :( I hate having to drive everywhere, but at least gas has gone cheaper than the horrific prices it used to be... :o

I drive a '96 Eagle Talon TSi AWD and have a '73 Opel GT in the garage. I take the bus to work, though. Public transportation is awesome in Portland.  ;) It definitely beats the $10 per day to park downtown where I work anyways.   :P

Learner's Permit - I can drive to and from school and school-related events.
Title: Re: What do you drive?
Post by: ericj on January 03, 2009, 04:17:45 pm
You can get a permit at age 14? Wow. I grew up in Pennsylvania and we couldn't get ours until 16. That's a long 2 years of 'learning' to drive.  ::)

Edit: Just checked the Iowa DMV site:

About Iowa's Graduated Licensing System

Since 1999, Iowa has had a graduated driver licensing system for teen drivers. The system asks teens to earn their driving privileges by completing a three-step process:

   1. At 14, you may apply for an instruction permit that allows you to practice driving with your parent or guardian, a family member over 21, a driver education course teacher, or a driver over 25 if you have the written permission of your parent or guardian.
Title: Re: What do you drive?
Post by: nintendodork on January 03, 2009, 04:24:32 pm
That's Iowa for ya...but you have to be at least one mile away from the school in order to obtain it...which is really only like......about 30 kids total who don't lol

I live outside of town so I can choose the "fun" route...:P

I drive a scooter...but this year i'm gonna start driving a car! YIPEE! ;D But honestly I'm kinda stressed out and scared a bit of driving one :-X Got into a stupid scooter accident last summer which really changed the way I look at the road. All because of an old stupid jackass in a van who turned in my lane without even any flashers when I was coming. I was at about 8 metres from him, driving at about 65 km/h when he just came out in my lane and froze there. I didn't have enough time to react so I rammed into his van, flew over the van and broke my two legs and a tooth on the asphalt. Fuck did it hurt! And my scooter was also broken in half! :'( :-\

2001 Honda Civic LX.  It's got a nice dent in the fender from when I accidentally rolled over part of a mostly submerged basement one morning.  I'll probably keep it for another 5 years or so (bought it new) and then upgrade to an Accord.  I'm very boring with my car choices.
