Let’s see what you all drive. This is my mistress and lover, 2006 Jeep Rubicon.

(I can’t figure out how to re-attach an image I’ve already uploaded, so if somebody can help me out with that I’ll replace this large monstrosity with a smaller and friendlier attachment)

Were gonna play blues clues to help blue stalk his next victim. Whats that a clue. Oh look its on the side of a jeep. Lets put it in our handy dandy notebook of incriminating evidence. Hmm… what could blue want to do with a map, a list of favorite activities/places, and a picture of a vehicle. Your right we need another clue.

4door Ford Contour LX '98

You can see what I drive using the street view of Google Maps (creepy). It’s parked right in front of my house. If you only you had the coordinates…

98 Honda Accord 2 door  
82 GMC Sierra Classic 1500 (love it!)

Ooooh, I love the Z’s. :love:

I am a fair weather bicycler (Gary Fisher something, bought because it said “XS” instead of a height in numbers), ride a scooter that gets 75 mpg in the winter and when I’m feeling lazy, a Subaru Outback (like 95% of the rest of the people in my city) when I need to take the little one somewhere, and my first automotive love, my '95 Nissan King cab pickup when I need to haul stuff or need 4WD.

08 Chevy Silverado 1/2 ton. I love it and I only have 500 bucks till it’s paid off. I’ll snap a pic later.

Since I live the country and almost everywhere I need to go is within 10k, I also drive these a lot:

800cc Can-Am Outlander - So much freaking power. I can wheelie it just by pressing down the throttle and it’s not exactly light.

I don’t own a car. My business partner has a car and so does my girlfriend so if it’s absolutely necessary I use theirs.

I can get it going 120kph. It’s accelerates like a ■■■■ too. You can select 2 or 4 wheel drive with a switch. In low gear it pops up off the ground like nothing but in high gear I have to stand on the back to do a wheelie. Plus it’s got a CVT so I don’t have to change gears.

And no, I don’t wear a helmet :run:

An 08 Silverado and only $500 left to pay? You been saving for a while or what?

And I like your bike… I’m considering buying a motorcycle. I really want a Dakar, or better yet a KTM… But that will probably come around the same time I buy a solid gold statue of myself.

I bought a CBR600RR in grade 10 and it was rediculously fast. I sold it so I could buy a truck which is much more practical for where I live and what I do. I had saved up a bit and I got it in October so all the money I made between then and now went straight to it. Basically any check I got from work I signed directly over to my dad (who gave me the loan).

Motorcycles are so much fun and I would reccomend that every one has at least one. I’m kinda of skeptical driving it in the city with all the morons driving around, though. Luckily I don’t have that problem because my dirtbike stays in the country. It does get road use though, and I have been pulled over several times for that 😃

I used to drive this baby back in Switzerland:

Kawasaki ZX6R  
 ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/6990/f16c298ad8b8f8ef.jpg)

but I sold it when I moved to Tokyo.  
Maybe one day I will buy a new one, but for now I use public transportation.

@Redelite: I love the Z (could use some more power though ☹ )

@TheCanadian: helmets are for wussies anyways, right? 😉

Cheers Carlo
