Simple topic, What do you drive? How do ya get around?
Car? Truck? Motorcycle? Scooter? etc etc.
Anything special about your ride? Interesting story behind it?
Please tell

Photo would be nice to.
I drive a 95' Jeep Grand Cherokee
Nothing special but for a car thats 15 years old it drives great.
Few things are broken though like the air conditioner which sucks in miami weather.

I used to drive a black VW Golf 2 but she (finally) died 3 weeks ago. was 20 years old in 2011
I got her from an old lady, long ago who had only used her to go to the store & visit her mother. I never changed anything about that car, the original cassette player was still installed till the end.I just kept on feeding it my old tapes, till it ate em.
felt kinda sad for the old thing; over the years she'd been covered with old hardcore & skate stickers
so now I just use my bike & skateboard. I don't have money for a new car atm, so it'll stay like that for a while. besides, I practically only used the old thing to drive to pools a skateparks, for the rest I always do everthing by bike/board, its good exercise.
I really don't have a decent pic of the thing. its in the back of this pic (yes, and that used to be my bike till last year. sold that one coz I needed money for the new appartment)

I don't drive and have no intention of learning. It isn't really necessary to get around in Britain anyway, places can either be walked to and the public transport is pretty good around here, what with the bus routes and Metro.
My hubby cycles everywhere though and is a very keen cyclist. He's cycled from the west to the east coast and up mountains before. I quite enjoy it myself, but we don't have enough room for two bikes here at the moment, although we did used to have a tandem. Now that was fun!

I don't drive but wish I did. It might be alright in the city and suburbs, but round my way public transport is shit. 1 bus to anywhere an hour after 5, so if I ever want to leave the village for a night out it's taxis all the way unless I can find a 'designated driver'.

Even taxis are cheaper than owning a car these days though.

Next to videogames, cars are my passion. I do trackdays (Spa, Nurburgring) Drift events (D1) and have run 2 Japanese car clubs. I write a motoring blog (
http://www.motorfetish.wordpress.com for those interested) My current car is a Mk2 Polo thats been modified for fast road/track use, it looks stock from the outside unless you look hard at the suspension and brakes.
Mk4 ABD Golf engine swap, balanced bottom end, lightened and balanced flywheel re ground hotter cam, adjustable vernier, rebuilt top end, uprated springs and adjustable dampers, G40 brake conversion... blah blah....
basically its an absolute hoot to drive, handles well and has so much torque its just not funny.
Pics of all my cars are here:

Ok i have bored you enough...
