What's Your Mode of Transport?

*Avoiding eye contact* My husband and I have just turned into 'minivan people'. We still have my Veloster and his Dodge Magnum/Hemi but traded in our third car, which was an HHR, for a Grand Caravan.

We don't have children living with us anymore, so it is just us and the 2 Chihuahuas, but the extra room will be great to haul stuff in. :happy:

What kind of vehicle to all of you drive?

    We have an SUV and a compact car. The SUV is essential for hauling around the boys and all their junk as well as we are a pretty outdoorsy family and do a lot of camping and stuff so we're always hauling gear around, including a pop up camper.

    I have a 100 mile round trip daily to and from work which is where the small car comes in.

    That's why I have the Hyundai Veloster. It takes me about an hour to drive to work. It's a stick and is fun to drive.

    We have a Dodge Ram 2500 P/U (mainly for work) and a Toyota Camry LE with all bells & whistles, 4 bikes (2 road/tri bikes, and 2 mtn bikes), and a canoe. And our feet... :happy: BTW...here in our town it's "Bike to Work Week." Free breakfasts downtown, live music in the plaza, all kinds of events :heart:. We used to have a vintage Yamaha 350RD racing bike, but it was too much of a PIA so we sold it to a friend who constantly likes to tinker... we were always burning out points.

    Side note edit: I'm still conspiring how to get my Zia's vintage 60's sky blue Vespa from her garage in Italy to my place - but it would take a whole lotta money and friends in the shipping industry... :brokenheart:

    2014 Dodge Charger R/T AWD. 5.7L V-8 HEMI. 370HP 395 ft-lbs.

    At 34 years old, it is my very first brand new car. I had it factory ordered back in October.

    I drive a KIA Picanto. Uhm...yeah...I know nothing about cars, I was gonna post "I drive a white KIA" but then decided I look up the model :P It's my very first own car, I got it new because it's the best I could get for what I was willing to spend and it's got a 7 year guarantee.

    Yes, my 3.2 straight 6 makes 351hp (on the dyno) and then has Nitrous on top of that :).
    It also goes around corners nicely.

    Daily ride is a hybrid push bike (Basically a road bike with slightly wider tyres and straight bars).
    Also have clio 1.5 80 - can get over 100mpg (UK gallons, of course) by sitting behind trucks on the motorway, a vito van (moving motorbikes in) various motorbikes, a 7.5t lorry motorhome which I'm currently living in while contracting away and a unicycle if I'm feeling REALLY silly :).

    I have a 2003 Odyssey with 220,000 miles. It's going strong and shows no sign of giving up the ghost any time soon. I intend to drive it until it drops, hopefully until at least 300,000 miles. It's really too big a car for us now (yeah, it's great to haul plywood and 2 x 4's in). We aren't hauling Boy Scouts anywhere anymore since our Boy Scout is 24 years old and lives in China. But who wants car payments? Or higher insurance rates?

    I drive a 2008 Ford Escape with a cracked windshield... My other mode of transportation are my feet. I am actually thinking of walking to and from work once a week.

    My feet/legs (or a wheelchair when I'm in too much pain to walk) and the bus.

    A legedes benz or a footwagon, depending on which foot I hit the ground first with in the morning.

    Most often, my feet, which are often pushing a jogging stroller up my unpaved mountain road. (It's a good workout.) For greater distances, like to the mall, the bus. When I'm feeling lazy, a taxi.

    I have perfected teleportation.

    Still, I try to walk as often as possible. It's good exercise.
