Veteran  277   Spartanburg |  Subject: What kind of car do you drive?My friends and I were talking about how your lifestyle changes and the type of car you choose usually changes with it. I've been a compact car driver my whole life...Civics, Focuses, neons and the like.. Now that I'm getting all Althletic...My tastes are going to trucks, jeeps and SUVs... whats up with that?! so what do YOU drive? |

Queen BTich 12411 , | Subject: RE: What kind of car do you drive? Explorer Sport. I need a new one, I was leaning towards an Accord, or Cooper, something like that. However, I am now looking at SUV's again just so I'm not cramped with all my gear and bike in a little car. Any info/reviews on Xterras? |

Expert 963 | Subject: RE: What kind of car do you drive? Got a Jetta w/ a newly acquired bike rack on the roof. I agree w/ the "lifestyle affects your car choice" theory though. I was dead set against a wagon, but now I'm Jonesing for a Impreza WRX Wagon. Lots of performance, wagon=space for tri gear, comes w/ factory roof rack and has AWD for nasty weather. |

Expert 938 Haddam, CT | Subject: RE: What kind of car do you drive? I drive a 2004 Honda CRV EX. The seats tumble up, leaving room for the bike and all the gear. (Or on non-bike days, the hound dog walks around back there). Roofrack for skis works well. Love the all-weather mats that keep sand/mud/rain/riverwater/dog hair, etc. off the floor. Just hose 'em down! And it comes with a card table that fits underneath the back storage compartment (great for side of the road picnics. A huge step up from my last vehicle (a 1988 Toyota Cressida - white with red velour seating and zero storage). Edited by lobstergirl 2005-08-02 8:24 AM |

| Member 41 | Subject: RE: What kind of car do you drive? Honda S2000. My "other" hobby is auto-xing/tracking. Although lately I haven't been able to drive it much. I'm on the fence about keeping it, with an 8mo old baby in daycare it's starting to put a strain on the finances. My daily driver is an 05 Taurus sedan, it's a company car but available for personal use so I use that for hauling tri gear and the baby around. My wife drives a WRX wagon which is a great car but the Taurus can still carry more stuff even though it's only a sedan. Not as fun though. I think about as close to an SUV as I could get would be a Jeep CJ7, not sure why, I just don't like most SUVs for some reason. But I like trucks, go figure. My wife had a Dakota 4x4 that was great, I'd go for an extended cab truck again before an SUV. Unless the family gets bigger, then an SUV starts to make more sense! And NO MINVANS!! (for me) |

Expert 1274 Jackson, Mississippi | Subject: RE: What kind of car do you drive? Nissan Maxima. Bike goes in the backseat when I drive out to start my rides. We just got an 01 4runner for the wife... but I'm lucky if I get to drive it. It does get to make the trips to races though.. ws |

Extreme Veteran 341 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: What kind of car do you drive? Old Mercedes E-320 (I LOVE this car! Always Have) and yes, much to the horror of my girlfriend and everyone around me, I put a bike rack on the back and haul my Black and Blue Giant around with it... It's paid off this winter and I'm thinking I need a light truck or SUV. For the OWS gear, and the bike rack, and the dog... Yah - that's it - the dog needs a truck... My girlfriend finds it comical that I now need two vehicles for my obsession. |

Elite 2915 New City, New York | Subject: RE: What kind of car do you drive? Malibu Maxx - Luv the hatchback. Bike fits in and best part, the cargo cover filps into a tailgate table! I told the saleman if he'd throw in a six pack we had a deal! |

However, I am now looking at SUV's again just so I'm not cramped with all my gear and bike in a little car. Any info/reviews on Xterras? Do you have tri stickers on the back of it? If so, I think I ran past it the other day near Mellow Mushroom on Monroe. I drive an '01 Dodge Ram 1500. |

| Champion 5183 Wisconsin | Subject: RE: What kind of car do you drive? black subaru outback impreza w/ Thule roof rack full of either dogs and their nasty drool and hair, or bike and roller blade and fishing stuff. I love my car. My partner drives a Toyota Tacoma with full cab, and occasionally lets me come near it, I have even driven it a few times. She l;oves her truck more than she loves me  |

| Expert 1065 Montreal | Subject: RE: What kind of car do you drive? I love sub compacts - the whole SUV thing just makes me cringe. I have always equated SUV's with bullys and I've never met an SUV owner who failed to validate that impression. My favourite car is my Toyota Tercel but I am getting used to the Honda Odyssey we got earlier this month. It handles like a big car but I don't like paying 100$ to fill up the tank and driving around with enough room for 7 other people and camping gear when I am alone in a vehicule. Just plumb does not make any sense |

| Member 36 | Subject: RE: What kind of car do you drive? 1993 Subaru Legacy L wagon. 198,000 miles and going strong. roof bike rack and always full of bike stuff. i'd like a newer legacy wagon but im only 19 and i spent as much on my bike as i did my current car, and id still rather get a new bike than a new car. |
