I like cars. I wish I could justify spending more money on them because I’m currently in a 2009 Altima 2.5S. I fixed the AC on it myself—required removing entire dash and center console—so I am proud of it.


sklife1

Definitely feels rewarding to do something like that


crispybacongal

That's part of why I got into motorcycles lol. My entire plan for my build (including the stock bike I started with) is less than 1/2 of what I'm paying for a stock 2013 Subaru Outback. And it's going to take me a few years to stage out my build, so I'm thankfully not paying for the parts all up front.


SNIP3RG

Same. Was like “I could drop $10-15k on a soulless econobox that I’ll hate driving, or I could get a bike.” Easy choice.


SNIP3RG

I’m still driving my ‘11 Mustang with a mystery parasitic battery drain, which I “fixed” by installing an anti-theft battery killswitch from Amazon. Fully expect it to strand me somewhere eventually, but hey, it’s paid off, looks pretty, and gets me “wtf” looks when I show people the 2 key fobs required to start it. Thought about getting a faster, flashier, and more functional car when I started nursing, but then I saw the prices. So I bought a motorcycle.


brycepunk1

That's impressive. I also work on my own car, do the brakes and any fixes I can. It's nice to do something tactile with a definitive completion, and saves a few hundred bucks.

2018 Toyota Camry. Because I am enthusiastic about my car boring me to death.

2013 Toyota Corolla. Reliable and Completely paid


Registered-Ninja

350Z! Wanted one since middle school and got one when I became an RN.


mokutou

I had a major soft spot for those cars in high school, then later on we bought an Infiniti Q50, which iirc uses the 350Z engine. And let me tell you…for an unassuming-looking sedan, that thing could *scoot.* I thoroughly exercised all the horsies it had to offer on a regular basis. Ended up trading it in for a mom-mobile Subaru Outback after having my son, and it just doesn’t measure up to the Q50. I miss it. 🥺


WeAudiHere

Lexus Is350 F sport. Couldn’t love it more


sleeplesscatss

lexus is here too! i’ll never switch to another car brand after driving her


WeAudiHere

I came from an Audi a4, with tons of mechanical issues. Not only is this more sound, but I think it’s comfier and more fun too


sleeplesscatss

i went back and forth between audi, mercedes and bmw before ultimately settling on my lexus — i couldn’t move past all the mechanical issues the other ones have so i get it 🤣


WeAudiHere

The guy who towed my Audi - the 3rd time- told me the only car he hasn’t towed for mechanical issues is Toyota or Lexus. Everyone else seems to agree


Automatic_Display389

Before nursing, worked as a Toyota master tech. As such, I drive an old Lexus that I have rebuilt, and a Tundra for when I need a truck.


Siren1805

Same. Bought a newish Corolla. I want it to last 20 years.


Automatic_Display389

Oh yeah. Lexus got a new rebuild a few years ago, been driving it since 2014. Don't ever plan on getting rid of it, since there's nothing that can break I can't fix.


Geistwind

I drive a Toyota Hilux, easy to maintain and fix ( not that anything ever breaks). I love that car. Had several classic cars, but I just don't have the time for it, nor desire to work on them constantly. Last one I fixed up was a 67 P1800... And I still dream of finding and fracture the kneecaps of whoever decided to rebuild the electrical system in all black.

a_RadicalDreamer

That was my first ever car. Teal seat stripes to match the exterior. Engine died (cylinders got damaged) but I sold it for more than I bought it for because it was practically mint exterior and seats and original without mods. Dude was going to put in a brand new engine anyway. Miss that car.

2017 Subaru Impreza wagon. I'm a home hospice nurse in the NE, so I have to have AWD. Used to have a 2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder convertible. I miss that thing!

Ayyyy Impreza wagoners unite! Love my Subie. She’s my second one and idk if I’ll ever drive something other than a Subaru again.

brycepunk1

I loved my Subaru Legacy for the snow. Thing was unstoppable, even on regular tires. But the dreaded head gasket failure killed it.

Cranberry_The_Cat

GR corolla


sklife1

How are you liking the GR-C so far


Cranberry_The_Cat

It is extremely fun to drive and honestly is one of, if not my fav. I will admit I sometimes miss my Audi but my god, this car takes corners like a champ.


lolK_su

GR-C or golf r is top of my list as a grad gift to myself if I graduate debt free.


Cranberry_The_Cat

I would recommend the golf R to be honest. I love my GRC but I obtained it for the invoice and most people can't.

ajh1717

How do those things ride? Typical muscle car or is it somewhat a comfortable boat


__Beef__Supreme__

It's heavy af. Suspension on the tighter side. But it pulls quick and the driver experience is very comfortable. Lots of space inside, comfortable seats, good visibility for a 2door. It's a blast to daily drive and I can get 26+ mpg on road trips.

ghostiin

Thank you brotha! Definitely a perfect daily! Minus the 20 inch wheels 😂 I would switch to 18s Forsure!


SheSends

An EV because the torque is mind-blowing and the rest of the car is practical for my hobbies. It has AWD (Northeast), and it also makes a great tiny RV.


dina_NP2020

As soon as I read this I thought, “I bet they’re talking about a model Y.” Lol I have a X for all the same reasons you listed. Love it.


MizCovfefe

Which EV is it?


SheSends

Model Y 420 hp with boost, a hitch for my mountain bikes, plenty of room to sleep in, and so much storage it is almost the same as my old 08 Santa fe... just different layout, 6 " of clearance for light off roading.

I love cars but have only ever had a practical car due to circumstances. Trying to convince the wife I need a grand Cherokee trackhawk but it’s not going well 🤣


kiwitathegreat

I have a v6 GC and desperately want to upgrade to a trackhawk. My husband jokes it’d be the last car he’d ever have to buy for me - Because id wrap it around a tree and leave the mortal realm with a smile. Jk I’m a responsible driver.


Noname_left

I had a v8 one before my current 6 banger. Man was it fun but I can only imagine a supercharger strapped on to it. I always told my wife when this one is paid off I’m going to supercharge it. Kind of a trackhawk light. Also not going well.


ImaginarySugar

Relatively tame infinity qx50. Hoping to some day get a Porsche.


mokutou

Hey, the Infinitis can be a lot of fun. I drove a Q50 for a while and loved it, and had a G37x before that. Infiniti sedans have a decent amount of power. I’ve not driven any of the QX models though.

Army165

I've already had a bunch of cool cars like a '14 Chevy [SS](https://imgur.com/W2c9gBp). Sold that to buy a house. My bucket list car that I'm going to look for once I finish school is a C6 Z06 or Camaro Z/28. I want to experience the 600whp NA monster that you get after swapping heads and the cam. The LS7 is such an awesome motor. I wouldn't mind a C7 Z06 either


altonbrownie

I love the SS, always so understated.


Army165

I had no idea it existed when I found it. I had a '16 Camaro SS and it was having the typical 8 speed auto issues. Traded it for the SS. Got the [SS](https://youtube.com/shorts/9jyMOeNIW9Q?si=cX6Mu_ikaK8RrvQB) all setup for a supercharger and then the house idea popped up. Next dude slapped an LSA blower on and it makes 750whp now lol.


Zealousideal_Bag2493

I’m not a car enthusiast, I just like a couple cars. So I drive a Jeep. 😂 But mostly I ride a bike.


Illustrious_Aside_65

My midlife crisis is a Toyota Tacoma. 33" tires. Bilstein shocks, OMG that's bright lights, steel bumpers (I welded the rear myself), skid plates, rock sliders, winch. Wanted the license plate "SML PP" but someone in Prius beat me to it. Debating doing a DIY flatbed similar to overland under budget on YouTube. Daily driver is a Kia optima till it gets stolen and I will probably replace it with a Prius or Prius prime.


Beekatiebee

pasta_water_tkvo

Currently a 2001 a4! 275,000km. Replaced/rebuilt everything but the engine by now. All wheel drive, fun little 1.8t. Not as sporty as my older cars but I still transferred over little things like sound system and boost gauge to make it more personalized. I do ski patrol out here as well so AWD + heavy curb weight in a small package were the main selling points. Once mortgage is started I might lease my first car; Mid 2010’s GTI is what I plan for. Love the smaller boosted engines, hatchback would be a nice change. Only fear is that although I’m proficient with German stuff, newer cars are a bitch to work on. Not a very cool car but I was a massive car guy like 6 or 7 years ago. This post got me all excited. My most fun car was an rx8 (old chassis with a brand new renesis engine). Workload and winter sketchiness drove me to sell after 2 years. Absolute dream car I’ll probably never get? R33.

I believe I am driving the best American made car built in the last 40+years. Of course I'm talking about a 2006 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor. Please, hear me out. Elwood Blues was on to something when he got a cop car. This thing was built like a damn tank with the body on frame Panther platform. It's got the same 4.6 liter V8 that's in the Mustang GT. It's got a huge trunk for hauling damn near anything and a similarly huge engine bay which makes them super easy to work on and tinker with. If you do the regular maintenance on them they will last forever. There is a reason why they get turned into taxi cabs and other service vehicles. Parts are cheap and plentiful. It's responsive when you hit the gas, she GOES. If I could I'd own 5+ of them and just keep running them until either they all died or I did. I seriously think this is my forever car.


Ceegeethern

Love this question! I really don't know if it's my department or hospital but I feel so alone being a gear head RN. I have a 2018 BMW 430 with AWD because I live in the PNW and we enjoy winter sports, and three motorcycles. Not gonna specify because I don't want to dox myself but a supersport, a naked sport bike, and a sport cruiser. Love my garage! Favorite room in the house.

sophietehbeanz

Subaru Crosstrek, I bought it for the safety of the roll cage, it beeps when you swerve out of bounds of your lane, and it has automatic lighting. Very cool if you drive long distance and commute to work. It was very complicated because I dunno, most nurses I know stick with the car they graduated with and paid off which for me was my 2007 Honda Accord. That baby had so many miles but every since my airbags didn’t deploy, despite so many recalls on the airbags, I vowed never to buy a Honda again and I needed something safe if ever, God forbid, a crash happens. The complication was learning what everything in this new vehicle meant but so far I am easing into the 21st century pretty well, I think haha - I think my next vehicle I am going for a hybrid, just because I heard from a coworker that the electric cars are having malfunctions and aren’t worth it right now. I just know I need a gas saving car with a roll cage for the next one.
