Am I the only woman who loves her car?  I have been spending a little money on the car this week (major service, new tyres etc) & it got me thinking. I LOVE my car. I was talking to OH & asked him what will I ever do when my car gets to old or stuffed and I need to find a new one. I have a V8 Holden adventra. Its just fantastic & I havent had any issues with it, its big enough for the kids & all their crap. Its big enough for all my mobile business and all my horse stuff. I can fit 6- 25kg bags of horse feed in the back & still fit another if I really had to. Holden dont make a wagon anymore as big in the back as this and I just cant imagine what I will do if anything happens to it. I love towing with it and just driving in general. Am I crazy or is their more of us out there. | ||

Yep love my utes, probably more so in the past then now as I have a Crusier. 3 years ago had a B&S ute which I adored, had everything on it and everyone used to think it was his not mine. He used to say that was the only reason why he went out with me was my ute and my realality check to him was I only shacked up with him was that he was a mechanic and could fix said ute. | ||

I had a 2 door manual Mitsubishi Lancer for the past 5 years, I loved it and never thought I would sell it, till someone offered me a reasonable offer and now she has gone to a girl who loves her as much as I did... Now I have a Mitsubishi Triton (manual again )...a new shiney one...with nearly all the extras, and I think I have decided I love it more than I ever loved the little Lancer, although it still holds a place in my heart. Like the Mitsi slogan goes "Love That Car" | ||

YES!!! Love my Falcons (okay, my *parents'* falcons...) and would love to have a BA XR6, ute or not, doesn't matter (damn you P plate restrictions, that's the newest model allowed)... I keep begging my dad to let me put some blue dashboard LEDs in but no luck so far (Oddly enough, he doesn't like the idea of a sports exhaust, some nice rims or a professional lowering job either... won't even get it tinted...) Wouldn't say no to a nice Skyline or WRX either, mind you (Edited to add a comment about restrictions) (Message edited by evi on July 28, 2010) | ||

Yep, love my silver Lancer it was love at first sight! It's a four door & has the Evo 6 bodykit with a nice purring exhaust, Lenso rims & Momo race-style steering wheel (which is legal as it's part of the factory sports kit). My Dad currently races a (proper) Lancer Evo 6 & has always raced Mitsubishis so I was brought up as a Lancer fan. He'd love to put a turbo on it for me but I don't want to get defected! It sounds like it has one anyway... I'd love a nice, sleek ute one day too... | ||

I love the fact that my 94 121 is still going even though I haven't had it serviced for 4 years lol! Does that count? I don't get the car thing. Up until I hurt my back I had a 2005 Cagiva X Raptor 1000cc motorcycle - now THAT was something I loved. Only 999 ever made... dripping in carbon fibre... very sexy bike. Gone to someone who can actually still ride a motorcycle now though. That was a sad, sad sale. But I figure if I can ride a horse again, that will be enough for me. IF I can ride again I'll be getting a truck and I will finally understand feeling love for more than two wheels. | ||

I love my ute too! It's a 1990 V6 VG Commodore. It has 450 000km+ on it and drives more like a diesel than a petrol these days but she's as honest as and just keeps on keeping on. I'm going to have to update asap but that probably won't be for a couple more years yet. I would really like a Navara or Triton turbo diesel ute. Not sure what I'm gonna do with the old girl when I eventually do upgrade. I already have two other cars sitting around. My old beaten up VN Commodore I can't part with coz we've been through so much together but the VL Commodore is for sale as I can't keep collecting them. | ||

Should have added I love cars in general. Big thumping V8's mostly. Can't stand those turbo powered rice burners. One of my favourite things to do is go to the drags or V8 Supercars. Winternats was awesome and I can't wait for the New Years Series at Willowbank. | ||

I have a Toyota Hilux and I love her to bits. Yeah, she's old (89)and yeah, she's starting to look it. Yeah, she has a few dings now (including a bloody great dent in the front from the roo I hit recently). Yeah, four cylinder and not much oomph - lovely low first gear though. Yeah, she has the turning circle of a whale and is hard to park. Yeah, she's pretty basic, no computer (yay), and (boo, the downside) has no safety features. But I luffs her. Honest and reliable as the day is long, never lets me down. Can count on one hand (touch wood) the number of times things have gone wrong. Has been out on a crappy dirt road to the horses once every day (and sometimes twice and three times) every day since the day I bought her, all those years ago. Probably noone could love her but me - but I don't care - I love my ute (Message edited by woolly on July 29, 2010) (Message edited by woolly on July 29, 2010) | ||

Some *insert HEAPS of red dots* stole it from Chadstone shopping centre and stole the wheels, the stereo and all my horse gear from the boot  We were lucky to get it back but it's just not the same anymore.

Haven't got around to modifying it at all because it's been my towing car, but o/h picks up his new car tomorrow which will take over towing duties so I'm starting to get ideas... I absolutely LOVE the old Ford GT Coupes - my jaw drops when I see a nice one out. Same with Chargers!

I love my little car too. It's only a little nissan micra, but is quite zippy for a little car, easy to park and I get 500-600km from a tank for $40-50. I'm going to miss it when we sell it in a few months, but it just isn't big enough to fit a baby seat and baby things in. My first car was a rebuilt little Mazda 121 hatch that my grandad fixed after an accident by basically combining two cars together. He was a panel beater and did an amazing job. That little thing was great- could fit so much feed in the back with the seats down, and even when I hit 2 kangaroos in it, it had hardly a mark on it. I cried driving away when I traded it in. Our other car is a GXL wagon, it's so nice to drive with it's power steering but I hate parking the thing. And it annoys me that it doesn't have central locking from both sides! It has a towbar though! | ||

I always get attatched to my cars. They always have names and I find they have personalities. I recently sold our little run around Lani (a lantra) and she was such a sweet car. I currently have a jeep cherokee who I call Dixie, she is a bit sassy! I love her because for some reason I always wanted a jeep. Our other car is a GU patrol ute, love him too. He just keeps on going! Goes everywhere, we have spent so much getting him to how we want him and feel a real connection to it. He is the car we take camping, and four wheel driving and touring, and I feel like he is literally one of the family. My partner and I both agree we will drive him till his wheels fall off, and even then he will sit in the yard so we can pat him when we go past lol. He is tough, and rugged and a he just tries his heart out at whatever you put him at. | ||

It's hard to be sure you have a genuine GT these days, the crooks have gotten good at reproducing them aren't they? Hubby always shakes his head about the price of them now, they were so cheap all those years ago but who could have imagined how valuable they would have become! | ||

I have dual reg dirt/road bike too, mainly ride her on dirt, she is named Daisy, so I have Dixie the car and Daisy the bike. This may demonstrate the difference between male and female, but our patrol is just called Patrol cause my partner mainly drives, and his bike is just called the red b***h..

I loooove my SS crewman, such a sweet ride, just had a new 21/2" exhaust fitted....Swwwweeeett!!! But I would really like to trade it for an SS Sportswagon in Poison Ivy but the OH heard some nasty stories about the gearboxes so looks like I'm not getting one now  We also own a GU Patrol which is awesome to drive, V8 WB ute w/5 post BB & rollbar & HQ 1 tonner. I used to own a HSV Clubby, it was my pride & joy, my baby!!!!But had to sell it  | ||

Crewman, we have had quite a few VE SS and SV6s and gearbox probs yet how much u can fit in the back of the sportswagon | ||

Tinat - when OH asked someone in town about their wagon, it's been back 5 times for gearbox probs & it's only 3mths old. Guy at Landmark is the same, his has been back 3 times in the time he's owned it. I was going to buy an SS-V but it's tow cap is poor & the wagon can tow 2100kgs, so I can use it if I still need to tow the float for some reason & can't use the 4WD. Not really worried what I can fit in the back we still have the WB & also the cruiser (work ute) so pretty safe there!!!!! | ||

Yeah i must say i'm pretty fond of my car too. A 2006 Mazda Bravo Turbo Diesel. In a deep Blue. Shes a little bit different with the spotties on the roof and in front. Get a bit upset when my dad needs it. And am starting a bit of a sticker collection as well. I thinks if i werent pending all the $$ on the horses i'd be modifying my car a bit more heheh | ||

I've always been into my cars I had minis when I first started driving and loveeed them! Then I got a 'sensible' car, a laser, and just wasn't happy, lol. Loved my disco and cried when I traded it in much to the horror of the car salesman! Love my xtrail now. |
