Here's mine for another two years. Once the lease is up, I don't plan to own a car again for a while.

Don't forget religion! That's another one I don't discuss.

What a hoot!! Great looking cars but can be troublesome. My sister-in-law had one, MG Midget.

Nice car, but no offense, you technically aren't "owning" a car when you are leasing ... you're really "renting".

We too, are "renting" (leasing) a car as well ... my wife's Mazda CX-7, which is a fine crossover SUV. Very fun to drive, but gets poor gas mileage.

Here's my other car ...

Yes, I'm fully aware that I am renting. I meant I would not be buying another car (as I have in the past) once this lease term is up.

Gotta love the Batmobile. I've owned several Corgi models of it.

Several years ago, I was at a car show in San Luis Obispo and the son of George Barris who was in attendance brought with him the Monkeemobile (Monkeemobile #2). It was quite a treat to see that car in person.

Sorry for the mis-interpretation!

I took pics of this one as we were driving up the I-5 from Oceanside (25 miles north of San Diego) to Orange County one day last June. I was lucky to have the camera with me and was able to shoot the pic with the drivers' window rolled down.

NOTE: "Robin" was asleep while the unmasked but hatted "Batman" was driving ...

I've read that you can buy the Batmobile as a kit car, but they are rather expensive!!!

Greasy butt???

I had an Acura RSX Type S 2006, but it was stolen in front of my house three weeks ago.

Here's what my insurance is replacing it with

Acura CSX Type S 2008

RandySF · 03-13-2008, 05:59 PM

Yes, greasy butt! And on a black car, too. The worst for showing scratches and smudge and finger prints marks. I love black cars, though.

i cant believe honda rebranded a $15k USD Honda Civic as an Acura. whatever way to make money i guess.

but the Civic SI here in the states is a very fun drive and ride so I suppose this CSX leans more in that direction.

My ride (my Dad's) is a 96' Chevy Cavalier. He drives the old thing 60 miles round trip to work. The ride I WANT is a 69' Chevrolet Camaro SS. I'd walk/ride my bike most the time and stuff but X-acto (referring to myself in 3rd person) isn't a very athletic person.
