Post your wheels

Post by Spikey »

Post a picture of your car, if you have one or whatever transportation you use. I also have a bicycle that's hardly worth mentioning....

Image

Purchased used in April 2004...
It's a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier.
4 cylinder, 2.2L, auto,

- Kilometers: ~222,000
- Deers hit: 3
- Muffler is rusted out, so you can hear a mile away.
- The muffler hanger has rusted out, so I have a metal wire tying the muffler to the frame, or else the muffler bounces against the road while driving over bumps.
- Rear window defrost does not work
- I have a wire tying my windshield wipers to the 'wiper arm', I've already lost a few wipers while driving...
- Passenger door handle gets stuck open, so you have to make sure you close it or else the door will fly open while making a left turn.
- Heater/AC fans only work if set on maximum...
- Check Engine light is always on, I'd be concerned if it ever turned off
- Replaced suspension on front passenger's side, last year.
- Replaced the starter a few weeks ago.
- No music, I used to have a stereo but I swear I left my car unlocked one night and some idiot punk stole my faceplate.....
- The adjuster handle for driver's seat is busted, need a wrench to adjust seat.
- I have to punch the dashboard a few times to accurately read the odometer.
- Trunk has twisted, so there's a trick to stay closed.
- The lights for the gear shift have died.
- Got a new rear driver side door last year, because one morning my neighbor decided to backup in it.
- The rear passenger door is jammed, there's no way to open it.

I believe that's it... Other than these problems it still runs. Hopefully it will last another winter and I can get a real job after graduating.

I've driven it a few times, it's not bad.

We've got a '87 Jeep Wrangler as well, but I haven't mastered the stick yet. ;)

2008 Volkswagen Rabbit. Mine looks just like that, except it's a 2-door.

I used to drive a "red" Chevy Prizm. I say "red" but it was actually kinda pink...and it seemed to get pinker every time I washed it. My friends took great joy in calling it, "The Rolling Vagina."

I drive a silver 2003 Toyota Prius hybrid. It was totaled in a wreck and has been 100% completely refurbished by my dad and (a little bit) myself. My dad fixes up/tinkers with Prius hybrids (and makes a bit of money off it) in his spare time.

It looks brand new (brand new paint job, not a single dent), rides beautifully, and everything on it works perfectly. I make about 50 miles to the gallon. I think it's a fucking sweet ass ride.

I couldn't get a picture of the dashboard and me without me having to violate the steering wheel.
