What is your ride?
I'm curious what motorized vehicles SSP Vancouver members drive. Maybe four legged vehicles too like horses and goats.
My car is a 1990 Toyota Celica GT 5 speed manual, just my for fun evenings and weekends car. Picked it up for cheap, runs really well. http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/l...82961edb-3.jpg My wife's car (formerly our one car) is a 2007 Mazda 5 GT also 5 speed manual, small car that's awesome on space yet still fun to drive, but I prefer the Celica when we don't need all that space. http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/l...a/DSCF1594.jpg |
Well, my daily driver is:

I actually opted not for the older model Bombardier ART Mark II, but the newer model. However, once I find myself a new job, I'll be picking up a 2002 black Golf GTI 1.8T. *drool*

Well my U pass just expired, but here's what I've got otherwise.
http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l...a/IMG_1624.jpg http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l...d3cf5263_o.jpg 92' 16 valve GTi, gets taken to autoX every so often. Usually used to get me to skiing. It's a 5 speed, minor mods. It's begging for a 2.0FSI engine from a new GTi though. http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l...DSC_0466-1.jpg 09' Ninja 250 as my usual driver. Gets about 3.5L/100km, cheaper than a 1 zone bus pass to run and maintain. http://www.greenwit.com/Skateboards/...ek_Shuttle.jpg 600W electric skateboard for trips under 10km. 0.13g/km CO2 output. I usually use it to commute to UBC on nice days. Then a couple different pedal bikes. Ones a junker road bike that I used to commute on last summer until I got my motorcycle, and a Norco Aline for fun. I like my gadgets :) |
Imported this from a dealer in Tokyo a few months back. Been a dream car of mine for a long time.

I have a 1995 chevy s-10 pickup. regular cab long box with the 4.3L vortec. it's a money pit but pretty reliable at the same time. I don't have a pic off hand and its late but I will get one up soon

I actually have two cars. This one is my daily commuter and road trip ride, a 2004 Chrysler 300M Special, which I have lovingly named Mia. Lots of fun in the twisties and VERY comfortable.

I haven't used it in a while as I am currently completing an engine rebuild, but she still runs like a champ after 250,000 kms. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-a...37646_8900.jpg |
This is my ride in Montreal, my 2006 Cadillac CTS 2.8 210-hp V6.
I Love it. It isn't so good on gas but not as bad as many think. http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/3167/img0133kw.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us Don't really need a car in Vancouver. When you live downtown, everything is walking distance or a skytrain ride away... or I just bum a ride with my friends :) |

I drive my mother's 2007 Mini Cooper Mk. II. When I'm not using that, I have my uPass.

Here's me in my Toyota RAV4 making the jump to hyperspace:
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4050/...b432c082_b.jpg The thing is actually pretty gutless, and sucks balls on the highway, but it's decent in town, and not bad when I want to get in touch with my inner redneck and climb some hills and boot around on the forestry service roads. |
2010 model. Diesel engine, doesn't turn well, tops out at 13.5km/h, can't get it started on cold Sunday mornings, and costs way too much - but the only option for me.

I'm thinking of picking up a few new models in a few weeks...

I suppose this can be the thread where I get to be pretentious by saying I don't have a car, and probably have better calves. :haha:
Of course on the rare occasion I do venture outside my comfort zone, it is usually by taxi. Cars really aren't my thing anyways. If I ever did want one, it wouldn't be a very nice one :P |

Ahhhh what the hell. My 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee - Can't drive anything without a V-8. It's just the need for speed. ;)
