What do you look for in a car?

What do you think is most important?

 

Gas mileage, a cd player, room for lots of shit (my bike, an amp or three), room for lots of friends, and air condition and heating, and power windows.

I think the car I dream of owning is a volvo station wagon, one of the ones with the third row in the back that folds up and faces backwards.

 

warranty. i'm a broke motherfucker, and i hate paying for repairs. not to mention Fish drives cars into the ground...

 

I love music...good sound system is what I want.

I can't drive though...so I don't know much about cars. But yeah...I want it to look pretty nice too....sound system is most important though!

 

especially if you're in the US. until you're 21, most companies will charge you out the ass... the biggest breaks go to females over 21, married with children. any one of those requirements you don't meet, you take a hit for. and your premium will always be higher than mine, even if you have a perfect record.

also, a new car will always require full coverage insurance, whereas a piece of shit only needs the state minimum--basically, you pay the government to drive your car, cuz you're not paying your insurance enough for them to reimburse you for crap.

 

That's just the spice of life, and scars=good/funny stories, and those = poon. Unless the scars are like, the the stub where your ick used to be, thats definitly not a cool scar, but if you get a nice dramatic one across your chest... girls can't resist a pirate!

 

I'm prefer to be scar-free, thank you.

I don't intend to drive like a comlete idiot and get myself in an accident, or get a ticket. I already passed Drivers Ed with an A (the written part, that is), and I don't intend to screw up my premium discount by doing something stupid.

By the way, I didn't make this thread to decide what kind of car to buy, but rather to know what everyone else thinks.

 

The more terrified of her surroundings a female is, the more she feels the need to procreate as fast as possible because her instincts tell her she might not be around much longer. So unless you're a total faggot, you'll suck it up and drive like a man, there is a stinky flower in the garden at the end of a high speed chase.

 

What the fuck is the point in having sex if you're not gonna be around long enough to keep your child alive?

I mean from a reproductive point of view.

 

What does this have to do with sex?

What do you mean, Sleek? I'm just saying I'm going to drive safe, because I don't want to pay high premiums or get myself killed.

 

I drive a van that was new in 1986. It's fine for my purposes - it's got a shitload of room, decent fuel efficiency, and it seems to keep itself in pretty good nick. The radio is busted, but I don't care - it gets me where I want to go, and I like driving it. The clutch is still the original one, and it's got a very forgiving engine (I can start driving in second gear if I really want to).

Edit - that said, I'm a speed freak, and while I never break the limit, I love getting there as fast as I can. I also love chucking a car into a rear wheel skid, but that's not something you can take advantage of nearly as much, and pretty much any car can do it anyway.

 

I always take into account of the amount of dead hookers I can fit in the trunk.

 

I like Porsche's, they go broom! and they look nice and the seats are comfy i've never been the same since playing nfsorsche...

 

Not quite true, dear DU, I spend $300, and bought myself a 2.5 ton Diesel Military Cargo Truck. It's got a Continental 165hp in it, but I'm going to get a Biodiesel for it.

 

enough about the stupid diesel!!! post about something else!

 

DU, I will be completely safe from premium rises as long as I drive safely. If I don't do anything wrong, then even if I get into an accident due to someone else, I won't be trouble unless someone can prove neglegibility (spelling?).

As for your story, you were being neglegable (spelling?), even though it doesn't seem like it would be your fault. You should have made sure that it WAS safe.

 

The engine. It must rotate correctly most of the time.
Oh, and wheels, they must have plenty of rubber, all be on the ground fairly evenly, and cause the car to move.
Brakes are important, too. As much as I believe stopping is overrated, there are others who do not, and I would like to be able to slow down so that I don't crash into them.
