I drive a Citroƫn C4 Picasso, because my father-in-law gave it to me for free two months ago. 50.000 kms on the road, as good as new. It definitely pays to make someone a grandfather.

Yo Dukky....love the 55-73 era cars....55 nomad of course my fave...but re: La El Camino (gotta say it with a Nietzxshe accent....lol), those bad boys came out in 59 in response to the heinous Ranchero...last production year in 87 I think....my first car was a 73 El Camino...LOVED that ride. Could stick my dirtbike, a cooler and my sleeping bag in the back and head to the mountains for the weekend. Built her up pretty good too ;o) I prefer the third generation 68-72 but the fourth 73-77 was my second fave...Looked like....

I had a 1976 that a buddy gave me with no engine that was rolled. Ended up selling it to another buddy who fixed it up. I should buy one just to annoy the wife. :lol:

It's pretty good. It only has a partial box with a hard cover so not exactly a work truck.

I would like a '69 - '72 Nova, been my favorite car since I was a little kid and my grandma had one.

I was mocking people that think driving something would compensate for having a small Johnson. A pilot on another forum said, "Harley? you might as well wear a T-shirt that says I have a small dick."

I don't see it. I used to drive chevettes, an RD-350 and we had a Focus until last year, was that because of my giant penis?

When I did that they sent me to military school for two years.

BMW 335i..

Because it has 2 turbos and 400hp and because it matches my elitist, asshole personality.

2010 Black Toyota Prius with a Solar Powered Moon Roof.
Why?
Damn good ride (I have driven it non stop from NYC to DC without a problem and once was insane enough to drive from NYC to Chicago but I won't do that again).
Clean Pass let's me drive solo on the HOV lane.
Great Gas Mileage (except when i kick it into sporty mode and then it's damn good gas mileage).
It's only has 140K miles and is fully paid up.
And it's easy to find in the snow.

It's good because you drove it from NY to DC, then Chicago and back proves insanity? Cool story bro, how many cats rode along?

I've pulled a trailer to the Pacific Ocean and back. Another trip to Oshkosh and back. Another trip to Wendover and back... Two kids and a 60 pound dog.

Only had to change one of the headlight bulbs. Everyone knows GM is a flimsy product but let's compare it to the mighty Toyota here.

You failed to mention the "why". It's actually a really good question.

You think? So if I ask you what you eat for breakfast and why and you answer: "Ensure. I need to go to the proctologist today.". That's an acceptable answer?

Maybe it's a cp.munucation gap because I know fuck-all about golf. That sounds like a long way to me...

I was waiting for the explanation to why you would play golf I guess and assumed the second part was max talking to himself.

Of course not. I would mention the proctologist is going to tell you to try some Metamucil chili umm tablets because there's no bulk or fibre in Ensure.

Sort of. You won't hit it that far the first time you pick up a club, but you'll get there if you spend a little time at a driving range. But 150 yards isn't even far enough to get on the green for most par 3s. A good professional golfer will hit 300 yards minimum, and that's not easy at all.

Wow...
My only experience with driving(golf balls) is the local driving range and all we ever did was intentionally slice the balls to bounce off cars in the parking lot. I'm pretty sure I didn't get anywhere near what you're talking about, though.

It's a 14+ hour trip and that's a bit of a stretch for a single run. We found a hotel on the way back. No cats but I did have a polar bear (well a cub's fan).

2014 Mazda 3. Got it for the gas mileage, looks, and better power and quality than other cars in it's segment, including the Focus and Dart.

They are very sporty looking. Certainly nicer looking than a focus(no offense to anyone lol).
