What do you drive?



Recommended Posts

I like having 4 seats although nobody can fit comfortably in the back and also it gives more room if ever somebody hits you in the rear. There is nothing better than driving a convertible as I just feel so in touch with nature. Thank GOD I am married because it also attracts tons of attention and comments from the men!!!:)

Me...a red-hot 2004 Jaguar with a 24 valve v6 turbo. Of Course...it's cleverly disquised as a Ford Taurus Custom....but I know the frame and drive train are the same! So it's my undercover cheap luxury sedan. I actually bought it because I could fit three carseats in it if I need to! My custom leather interior is currently covered in cheerios and matchbox cars -and that's just the way I like it :)

My other SWEET ride was the car I bought for my wife last year: 2004 Midnight Blue Grand Caravan. I fought the van plan for years...but my kids can't buckle yet without me crawling in...so the SUV wasn't much fun yet! Anyways, this one has auto start and a flip down DVD for the kids so they can be zombies during long rides. What more do you need in life?

...My wife wants that cooper!

Here is our newest toy! when the sun out it's top is down.. it is a fun 2004 SSR. I have to say it's my hubby's but I get two days of the week. We also have a 2000 Chevy Tahoe,

1955 Chevy 210, 1956 Chevy Wagon, 1967 Chevelle, 1968 Chevy Truck. These ones are the ones we drive, we are restoring a 1957 Chevy hardtop and a 1955 Chevy truck. ....As you can see the insurance companies love us... Maybe you can tell why I'm CHEVYGIRL!

My baby is a 2003 Land Rover Freelander HSE (no pic). Even though it is 3 years old, it is the funnest SUV I've ever driven. And I get a lot of compliments on it too.

Wow, all these people saying they feel poor. Subaru Outbacks and Honda Accords are VERY nice cars here in Australia, and quite expensive ones at that. A far fewer proportion of people drive new cars as they're so pricey, we can only afford to keep our cars updated every 4 years because they're salary packaged and it saves us heaps of tax. No way on earth could we afford two new cars out of our after tax dollers and Doug earns in the top 5%, a nice big fat six figure salary.

Teresita,

My Mini cooper is 1.6 liter over head cam, 16-valve inline 4-cyl. engine (115 hp)

The Mini Cooper S comes with a Supercharged, intercooled 1.6 liter overhead cam, 16-valve inline 4-cylinder engine (163 hp)

When I ordered my Mini you could only get Automatic Transmission on the Mini Cooper. I don't do manual transmission.

Maryb a 4 cylinder wouldn't get me very far. I test drove a 4 cylinder highlander and it was sad.

Yoda awwwww they are both cute....he he he

The Mini Cooper S is a race car in Europe!

I have never had any problem getting on the Highway in my Mini. Floor it and that baby goes! I can keep up with the traffic in Houston with no problem. Of course that is on good paved roads. She doesn't like speed bumps. Those Mole Hills are Mountains to her!

"Your never settle on a Mini! You buy it by choice or not at all!"

I drive a typical "mom on the go" van, desert sand colored 2005 Ford Freestar with a dvd system like some others so my kids can be veggies on our trips to disney! lol

Trading it in for something else in 3 or 4 months - it's been recalled 5 or 6 times since it came out :confused:

Hubby drives a 4 dr Ford Ranger, oldest son drives a Ford Ranger, oldest daughter drives a 4d Nissan Altima.

If we have company, they have to park across the street because our driveway is too full :eek:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
