Rush Cocky Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I drive a 1998 Toyota Camry. I just spent $1,000 repairing it. It has over 252,000 miles on it. I love it. I plan to continue driving it for as long as I possibly can. I do not like the new cars these days. And I do not like "green" cars, which to me is just another backdoor way of government control, and as usual, with no benefit to the average consumer. Except now I'm paying 20 grand for a glorified Radio Flyer with a lawnmower engine. No thank you. I'll guess I'll just have to remain "brown" then.

Mandalorian Hunter Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 In any UK city, 'professional' people have SmartCars. They can park anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this is the subject I have to add: I'm tired of attempts to guilt me into buying the most fuel-efficient car possible while loads of fuel are wasted flying jets at air shows and for cars driving in circles every weekend. I will buy whatever I feel like thank you very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy85 Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 What's all the fuss? I had a "green" car a couple of decades ago. Green, fuzzy, dappled with plant life and growth. People hated it, too. I was called a '72 Maverick I left in my yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 For the price? I'd get a Corolla or a Civic. I looked at the website and they have models called "the passion coupe" and "the passion cabriolet". Passion? These cars are birth control on wheels. First off, no chick is gonna do it with a guy who drives one. Too wussy. Secondly, there's no room for "passion" of any kind!

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I've been to Europe every Summer the past 3 years, and for what it's worth, l'd guess 2 ot of every 3 cars on the road is a SmartCar or something equivalent, and automobile fatalities are not that common out there..it probably helps that it's extremely likely if you get in a wreck, you'll hit a car that's just as light as yours!

Interesting. When I've been to Europe and seen car accidents (which seemed few and far between), they always looked horrendous! I got the impression that when Europeans wreck cars, they make it a point to total them. Will never forget seeing the aftermath of a collision between a Lamborghini and a Maserati, in Rome. . .it was sort of sad, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzy Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 QUOTE (ILSnwdog @ Jun 5 2009, 02:40 PM) My boss drives one. I'm with you. I don't know how those could be safe. They are like shopping carts with fenders. That's what I've always thought! I'm someone who is terrified of driving - not because of me, but because of all the other idiots I see driving and the lack of caution people use. I say cars are more dangerous than guns. I think I'd rather got shot than badly mangled in a car accident. But anyway, I'd never drive a motor cycle or a tiny Smart Car - could you imagine? If a Smart Car was hit by - well an SUV that everyone drives around here - you're screwed. The things smaller than a golf cart, you'd probably get squished under the SUV (in a bad accident). Screw those Smart Cars... I drive a Civic... just like everyone else. Then I'm planning on getting a huge Cadillac Deville (hopefully from the 60s) and run over all the stupid Smart Cars... hell a Smart Car would probably fit in the passenger seat.

MCM Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Had to bring this one back up.. today I saw the little "Smart Car" buzzing along the parkway, in and out of traffic, and I thought "doesn't that person have anyone waiting for them at home, do they have a death wish" then I noticed that it looked kind of funny.. it was a CONVERTIBLE.. yes, a "Smart Car" without a top on it.. 50-55 miles an hour in and out of traffic.. if a semi ran over it the truck driver would never even notice.

He'd be washing down the rig a year later, and start finding bits and pieces of Smart Car stuck under the wheel wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
