I know many of my Hub chumbs use public transport, for your sins. But just wondering what folkes drive if they do drive. 'Cos that's what us guys talk about!
I drive an X reg Red Astra. Driving is very much a chore for me, I don't enjoy it. Even though I do it pretty much all day! Driving fast 'On Red' is kinda fun like, esp through a busy town or city (Mrs Shockprowl thinks I've got a hero complex, I also like running through shopping centres with my kit etc). I do love my Astra though. Good solid A to B car. Decent safety. Bitta power to get passed stuff. I don't like small cars. Also five doors for easy entry and egress of Piglet. It's the second Astra I've had. I decided to crash the first one into a tree. Not one of my best ideas ever.

I take the bus, because I'm cheap, I can't drive and I have a death wish.

I stick to public transport as I can't afford a car, don't need one for my current circumstances and wouldn't want one anyway.
I do, however, have a TARDIS with which I can travel to any planet in the universe and to any time in that planet's existence. Which is fairly awesome.

I drove an old Olive Astra (written off) a burgundy feista (run into the ground) and a british racing green fiesta (passed on to my dad, and then to my aunt) before I had to give up driving following the falling off a train and hurting my ankle incident.

A Legioss of course, what else? :-)
But seriously, I drive very rarely - about one every two months on average, and when I do it is our office pool car. Which is a ten-or-so year old Micra which we foolishly bought by default at the end of the lease period. It stalls a lot in first gear, vibrates violently at any speed about about fifty-eight miles per hour. In general it feels like driving some sort of refurbished, half-destroyed salvage.
Hence, I drive as rarely as I can possibly arrange.

'96 Chevy Cavalier, white-ish (have to clean the dirt off), coupe
long since paid for
160K miles on 1 engine and 2 drivers side seats
Hoping to make 200K miles at least, 250-300K would be sweet
Yeah, I'm cheap

My dad's now-10-year-old Nissan Primera did over 400,000 miles before he passed what remained of it to my uncle. He used it as a taxi for about 60 hours a week for 8 years. He'd replaced almost every internal component as it was starting to disintegrate from overuse.

Can't drive, can't afford a car on my current wage, I take the bus instead. I think that says it all.

Whatever my parents or brother own at the time. Currently thats a Ford Fiesta and the one up from that, not Mondeo. My parents insisted I learn even though I wasnt to fussed. Still have no interested in owning a car, but I do like having access to two.

The Focus.... died.
Got an Octavia now. BEST CAR EVER. Automatic. Absolutely love it. Cruising around, bumping disks and scoping chicks, long lockdown hair billowing out the window....
The Citroen is hanging in there.
