i was wondering whether anyone in here was ever thinking about car brands and other superficial stuff... i am the volvo-kind... - but due to my ecological sense and my short finances i am stuck to bikes, trams and busses... :D

My first car was an '85 Volvo 340 1.4, and my vote is for "Other". Nuff said.

I loved my Pontaic Firebird and I love my Grand Prix. They have given me very little trouble. My 75 Firebird is awaiting restoration if I ever get the money. *email where to send donations to me*:lolI also like a Chevy.

Due to financial problems I'm restricted to using either bike (Am I Dutch or what? :wink), public transportation or my parents' car.
A car I really want to own is the old Mini (not the new version). My favourite car is any English oldtimer. My favourite car brand in general is Renault. The car I enjoyed driving most was probably the Renault Megane. The car I enjoyed driving least was a Volkswagen Golf with horrible gearstick problems (if gearstick is the way you call that thing in English).

VW Bugs are cute.

I own Citroen BX 1.4, but I'll sell it soon because it's too expensive to own (and use :) )a car in Finland

Yeah, a few years back, they were REAL popular in some circles...

I guess Volvo is not very popular around here

REALLY??? :eek:
I love Minis!! They're my favourites. I gotta wait another 3 1/2 years anyway to do my driver's license and then my dad won't ever stop to tell me they always break down.

At the moment I can only use my bicycle (*argh* Ever went 5km by bike while it was raining and the road was icey? NEVER AGAIN!) or public transport. Which is a little difficult by the fact the from village to the next "city" (with McD and stuff) the bus takes 1 hr and a half :rolleyes: and on weekends doesn't drive at all. So I mostly ask my dad...

YES! Every winter from 1986 to 1998!

Yupp. From home to high school was about 7, 8 kms. So around 15kms a day, by bike, in every kind of weather possible or imaginable. So around 75 kms a week, just for going to and from school. This does not include sports, going out, family visits, etc.

Cars are for LOSERS. Give me a motorbike or a Harley Trike anyday. They are cooler than cool.

[Wrighty]

i drive a '73 mini. i love my mini. great cars. at least if they break down, you can get under the hood and fix 'em. not like these new-fangled cars where you gotta take 'em to the mechanic just to top up the oil or something!!

[kontulib]

Well, my first car was Fiat Uno and my other car Datsun 120 Y. Both falled to pieces and after that I started to use public transportation. There was some economic reasons too (Gas is too expensive, insurance is too expensive, cars are too expensive, collisions are too expensive....).

I voted other. I think Wartburg is very nice looking car. Very simple DDR-design :D

[ungua]

wartburg rules... what about this one (http://www.gaz.ru/gaz/eng/avt/volga/3110/index.asp)!? ;D
i'm rather lonely with this american-style-poll... :rolleyes:
