I own a 2004 black Chevy Tracker, that I've named "Tasha".

I drive a three-door, metallic black, manual, five on the floor, Diahatsu Charade hatchback, with dark-tinted windows. I've had it for years and have no plans to change it. I keep the original logbook up-to-date and it breezes through registration every year. It makes a gazillion miles to the gallon and the registration and insurance are cheap. It's a perfect city car for me but also does the occasional country run with ready ease. I love my little Charade! :D

Tasha, hunh? Are you sure that's not a deep purple instead of black?
;D

I have a 1999 VW Beetle (white). I can't believe it's 10 years old this year. It only has about 65,000 miles on it and is in pretty good shape.
It's a most-excellent city car. I can fit into small parallel parking spaces that many large cars couldn't even think about.

My Daihatsu Charade is about the same size as your VW, Amanda. Most of my driving is done near home - city driving. Parking is a breeze and it negotiates Sydney's narrow inner-city alleys with ready ease. Some friends with larger cars who live in the outer suburbs, refuse to even attempt the narrow streets and alleys near my home. Another wonderful thing about my Charade is that it can turn on a dime. (Hope I've got my American terminology right there!) :)
I drive a silver Kia Rio.....4 door, five speed manual. I've had it from new, it is now just over 6years old, has 80,000 kms on the clock, runs on the smell of an oily rag.
Hubby has a Ford. Plum coloured, automatic.

I bought a 96 Chevy Blazer that had 50K miles, in 2000 from a doctor here in town, who didn't have room for it in his four-vehicle garage. Life's a bitch ain't it? ;D
It has had it's share of major surgeries over the years, new fuel pump, new alternator, surgery on the A/C , which is now broken...again, and just a couple years ago, a complete engine
tear down as it had a cracked head.....$1600 surgery there. Of course a couple set of new tires over the years.
But it will turn 150K miles perhaps as soon as next week, and is my ride, and with economy the way it is, don't see myself stepping back into auto payments for at least a year or two yet.
Paid this one off in 2005.
Other transportation for me besides my feet is a Specialized Hard Rock mountain bike I bought for my 40th birthday (1998). Love that thing.....still take it out blazing around trails when the
weather is nice. Even ride it to work when the Chevy has surgeries. :D
I thought of you today, huntinbuddy. I passed a white pickup truck with Missouri plates that said GDSHOT. I thought, that must be huntinbuddy!! But then I remembered that you don't actually hunt. :laugh:
poor guy!
ok 40th birthday in 1998, subtract this year, carry the three....good lort!! you're 38!! oh wait...that isn't right....
Nope, I'm 51 now.....but gun still goes off ;D :o ;D

very good, Kerry!
yep the Beetle is a GOOD car for a single person (or couple) in the city! I have never seen a Charade though!
Here ya go . . . .(http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o126/kez4oz/Album%202/charade.jpg)
And notice with Kerry's Charade.......the steering wheel is on the right hand side.
What!? it's SUPPOSED to be like that?!
When my friend from America was out here, the thing that she could not understand, was, how we can change gears with our left hand........
well this explains so much....not only do you have to walk around upside down, you drive on the wrong side of the road!!
no wonder ya'll are the way ya'll are!!
(not that there is anything wrong with how ya'll are....)
*RUNS!! really fast!*
Here's how I get around.

And yes, the R5 Malvern route is the line I take to get to and from downtown Philadelphia. Never seen the conductor though...he might be a model.
You see Jess......WE are of the opinion, that everyone else is wrong, and WE got it right.......
well maybe you are right....I am still trying to get over the fact it is daylight there...(it IS daylight, right?) :P
Yes Jess.....just after 3pm Saturday afternoon.
I get around by walking, cycling, or by bus...and like Katie, upside down or on the wrong side of the road... ;D

Oh Sue, after much discussion i have concluded and a tad embarrased to admit, that we drive on the wrong side of the road!! I know...I know I felt the same way, but "they" invented the car so logic dictates that we got it wrong! But its okay, they can claim the fame for the inventing the motor vehicle, cause us Kiwis were the first to fly ::)
As to motor vehicles I have a '91 Toyoyta Corolla - anyone want to swap??

Well duh! I told you I'm always right.

Oh, are we back on that again?
