Anyway, I drive a 2008 Honda Accord.

i still have two years until i can get my permit, but i don't think i even WANT to drive. i get lost quite easily and...no, i'm not trying to imply the stereotype that asians can't drive XD

my parents drive a red '08 Lexus RX Hybrid (which we got recently after selling our BMW X5) and a '04 Mercedes S430. as you can see, my dad really likes brand name cars.

"I love it, except that it has a huge back end so it's really hard to parallel park."

That's what she said.

Yea, I went there.

2004 Camry. It's silver and that's about it. I use it when my stepfather doesn't use it to commute to work.

I wouldn't complain one bit about driving an 08 Accord! I think they look fantastic.

Regardless, I drive an '05 350Z. I'm selling it pretty soon, though, because I don't really need it for college. Any sophomores want a Z?

Eh....I think this thread is a bit insensitive to those who don't drive because their families don't allow or cannot afford such transportation. Also, the students with the more expensive cars will be more inclined to post, so of course you'll have a bunch of kids talking about their BMW's. In the end though, the car you drive is still the result of your parents' successes and not yours, so there's really nothing to brag about.

Maybe I'm just being cynical...

Most of the people on this thread are lying anyway. There is nothing to hold them back from changing "Ford" to "Ferrari" on the internet.

Anyways, I drive a Mercury Mystique. (Twin of the Ford Contour)
