What car do you drive?

TDK1044 · 05-29-09, 06:33 AM

So what car do we all drive here? It's often said that your car is an extension of your personality.

While drinking my overpriced beverage in Starbucks, I sometimes play a little game of assigning the cars in the parking lot to the individuals I see sitting and drinking their coffee. I'm usually right too....not always though. Sometimes I see someone get into a car that I would never have associated with them.

I think it would be interesting to see what some of the colorful characters here drive.

I have a 2008 VW Passat Turbo. Love it. Comfortable, quick and reliable.

None!

I just bought a new, good bike, and changed some things.

If weather permits, I consider every location inside 60-70 km to be "in reach" both regarding things I have to do there, and touring for fun.

Alternatively I use inliners for destinations not more than 25 km away, if there is a good route (smooth tarmac) available.

I hold a driver'slicense, but I almost never needed it, I never liked to drive, and I am lucky enough not to need a car. I hate busses. I like train, and Berlin subway.

Does yours have the little button on the dashboard that sprays cold water over the intercooler? I remember seeing that on a Top Gear review...

As for my wheels: '97 land rover discovery 300 tdi

Yep, I drive an Evo

And, yes, mine is submarine black.

The European version shown in Top Gear includes a higher HP engine (with the little button, I suppose). In the U.S., we have to live with just 291 horses:

More pics....

Heh, well I wouldn't dare to judge about personality from a materia. I think most people choose the car to buy which they can afford..
