The Car/Vehicle Thread - Moonface - Apr 20th, 2024

Eh, had this thread in mind ever since @Dragon Lord made the thread about phones and decided to just finally make it. Tongue

So yeah, this thread is just for anything about cars or vehicles in general I guess. I suppose we can get the ball rolling by just sharing whether we can drive and if so, what car(s) we've owned or drive (if we don't own our own car).


For me, I currently drive a 2015 Hyundai Elantra that looks exactly like this (because it has my color):

It used to be @ShiraNoMai's car but I inherited it once I got my drivers license and she got herself a new car instead. I do have some decals on it but most of them are ones that Shira put on when she still drove it. The only one on it that is actually mine is on the fuel tank cover that says "Fill me up senpai!" because I thought it was stupid and loved it. ROFL

UMMM ACKSHULLY you have a 2014, but clearly the year difference didn't really change the appearance much, if at all LOL

I got myself the 3-year newer version: the 2017 Hyundai Elantra

The 2014 I got in 2016, had roughly.. 32k miles on it. This 2017 one I have I got in 2019, this one had 39k miles on it, I believe.

I hope the cars will last me. The 2014 just ran out of its 10-year warranty last year, and my 2017 is coasting along, with two incidents under its belt (one involving debris on the highway, another with a person who rear-ended me). The 2014 has a clean record, which is nice, but it has sure been having its share of obscure, but minor problems lol

I have a Kia Soul, which was my first car and unfortunately didn't know any better at the time. It is quite ugly, but it's great for road trips and makes for a great self-deprecating joke about me and my relationship with cars. If you don't know, the Souls are these blocky cars and are just in general clumsy-looking and not very flattering. You're not the cool kid if you own one hahaha.

In England every kid who just got old enough to drive would be seen running about in a Ford Focus, Peugeot 106 or 206, or Citroen 107 when I lived in England. It would be funny seeing them gathering in a store parking lot after dark and popping the hood to show off the engine like it was a car with an engine worth actually showing off.

I have no idea what the cool kid car is around here in Florida but I at least always hear some imbecile murdering the rev counter on their engine by flooring it and making the exhaust create a ton of noise. There's also the kids who do that stupid shit of putting their wheels at that weird angle that is just begging to ruin the tyres. Errm

When I was at school, the kids who could drive generally got Vauxhall Corsas. And there were a few who got Nissan Micras Tongue . 

Myself, I currently don't have a car, since my Toyota Yaris failed its MOT in Summer 2022. I do occasionally drive my mum's Volkswagen Up, though.

I think the majority of America doesn't have anything resembling an MOT, which means that you could be driving a borderline death trap of a vehicle and either you and no one else knows or even if they do it probably isn't going to result in any trouble. Yikes


Now for a fun game; how many doors does this car have?

I'm curious what the answers are going to be depending on where people live. Tongue

RE: The Car/Vehicle Thread - Eric - May 10th, 2024

At least two.

Indeed: ultimately, it's probably better that I no longer have it if it was a death trap!

In answer to your question: is that a hatchback or a saloon? If it's a hatchback, then it's 5 doors (because the rear door counts). However, if it's a saloon, then it's only 4 doors (because the boot doesn't count).
