What do you have?
What do you want?
Dream car?
Modifications?
Etc.
Basically, this is where you come to talk about cars.
I 'have' (yet to buy it off my parents):
1996 Toyota Camry LE
It's in FAIRLY good shape. Bit of rust on the body that needs some attention this summer. The main problem right now is it's got a small coolant leak and the block heater is broken (and the two problems might be related lol). Got a few other minor things that need to be done under the hood, but otherwise my only complaint is that the speakers have been shot since forever.
So until the coolant problem is fixed, my mom won't let me take it to work or any other long distance drives (boo), I have to use her 2006 Toyota Prius (boo).
The car I can foresee myself owning in the future is probably a mustang or corvette. Mmm corvette. If it were convertible that would be a definite bonus (although up here in Manitoba it'd be limited to like 4 months of driving unless I want to freeze lol)

I have my permit.
I have an 89 Toyota Accura.
I wanna get a car that I could easily drift around in. I wanna be an illegal street racer honestly.
The whole underground racing thing is highly interesting to me.

Ico: My 23 year old friend only has a beginner's. It's only valid so that she can go into bars. My 21 year old friend has tried for her full license 3 times already this year and is still trying. So I'm not really shocked to hear about those things.
KK: Just don't get a Mustang. Seriously blah. Drift car = rwd = ... ooh, get a corvette! biggrin

I like mustangs too - there's just way too many out there.
But I guess with all the after-market stuff, they're popular for a reason.
Here we can buy a liquor card (don't know what they're actually called). It is just as acceptable as a driver's license for proving your age with photo.

we have the same kinda thing here, an 18+ card, since you can drink at 18, but you could use it for anny other kind of ID purpose i guess
I suppose its the same with all super cars xd they are popular for a reason. Corvettes are nice too

We can drink at 18 too here in Canada (well, parts of it. Some provinces are 19 haha)
Yup, I like Corvettes. Prettier than a mustang, and rarer than them too. I see about 7 mustangs a day and only 1 corvette every couple of months... probably the same one...

I think there was only ever one Ferrari on the road in my city. crying
Our roads were not meant for such things.
I always fail at fun on Friday nights (too tired after work to do anything)
I try to make up for it on Saturdays, but it's hard convincing my friends to do anything... and I'm low on money.

lol neither were our roads, ours were built for tractors, trucks, SUVs, etc mrgreen but we drive our super cars on them anyway because we're dumb like that
It is getting harder and harder to have a good night out on saturday nights, since most ppl go out on fridays. but its nicer i guess because there are less ppl to fight through

Fridays and Saturdays aren't much different here.
Same group of people will go out both days... whether they're hung over from Friday night or not. @.@
All of our main roads are messed up from the weather and semis.
All the residential roads are messed up because the city is too busy keeping the main roads decent to work on the residentials.
We even have a saying here in Manitoba:
There are two seasons in Manitoba - winter, and pothole season.
The good thing about winter is that the snow fills in all the potholes. rofl

Lol the snow does your road works mrgreen over here they are constantly digging up and re-doing perfectly fine roads. We have no idea why. They seem to leave all the bad roads alone though >.<
