Funnily enough, I deleted the picture of my car from my computer today because I didn't figure I'd need it anymore. it's identical to this though:

A silver Mercedes.. dunno the model though. It's c something, tho I looked up c300 and that wasn't it. It's a 2006. My next car will be black

It looks a lot like this one (Tho this is a W203.. I'm almost positive my model starts with a c. Can't be bothered to go check now though):

Amusingly, I think this is the oldest car in this thread so far, even though I probably have more disposable income than most here and could be driving anything. It still runs and is satisfactory, I just don't care.

As with most other posts, this is not my actual car, but is identical to it as far as model and color. Not worth taking a picture of the real thing.

I doubt most of the people here actually personally own the cars they've posted anyway, the question is what they drive.

RE: What kind of car do you drive. by matty on 09-30-2009 at 03:39 PM

I actually have a G6 and will post pictures. My girlfriend has my digital camera at the moment.

Not a picture of my own car, but it is exactly the same (incl carrier on top).
May posts real photos if I find my camera.

PS: there once was an old thread like this, exactly the same. But I think it got pruned, can't find it anymore...

ohhh I really like that :happy:

we don't have anything like those here. Anything that would resemble that would be a commercial truck

I know cars are made much differently in Europe but how is it with gas?

You don't have small (commercial) trucks like delivery vans?

That type of delivery van is very common in Europe. Especially in Belgium, because you can register it as a commercial vehicle and you would pay a lot less taxes.

There are 2 types of 'gas':

Eurosuper 95 or 98 which are the normal petrol types.

Then there is Diesel, also extremely common (especially in Belgium), and still a lot cheaper than Eurosuper. And it was always said this is better for the environment although the latest studies have shown that this isn't so 'friendly' as they used to say (because of the ejected fine dust particles and how they used measure it and how they measure it now). That's the reason why the price of Diesel will go up in the near futur (more taxes).

And there is also LPG, a real gas form of fuel for which you need a special adapted pressured tank in the back of your car. This is relative cheap and was the very first environment-"friendly" fuel type (still not so friendly, but still better than the rest).

Of course, electric hybrid stuff is also available, but still a bit expensive. Although in major cities some public busses are running on electric or hydrogen hybrid motors.

Prices range a lot across Europe.
At the moment, the official prices for a liter, in Belgium, are:
Diesel: € 1,021 (1.5941 CAD)
Eurosuper 95/98: € 1,309 / € 1,327 (2.0433 / 2.0714 CAD )
LPG: € 0,474 (0.7398 CAD)

The cars in Europe have a fuel ratio of around 5-7 liter per 100Km. (7 liter is already considered a lot though)

they are much more bulkier and they use up a lot of gas. They are mainly only used for commercial transport

ahh well it sounds much better than here. The government doesn't care as much about pollution :sad:

but we obviously also have diesel. It's mainly trucks that use it. The price range is around the same as regular gas but it ends up a lot more expensive than what you pay :sad:

I'm still waiting to see hydrogen hybrid cars or bus' around here!

thanks for the info Cookie :happy:

Night shot from the school parking lot.

1993 Geo Tracker with custom rust pin-striping. The extra rust holes in the floor are actually a feature which helps with cabin ventilation. Do I win oldest car?

Old or not, this thing is a fun car.. even if it's not very practical. It's like a little Japanese Jeep and the top is removable (and it leaks).

2002 Cavalier, is it fancy no, but i get 600km to the tank and it cost 40 bucks to fill so i don't care. I just have a $2,500 sound system in it and that's all i need

Luckily fuel costs a bit less here at Estonia. At the moment you can get:
Diesel: € 0,959
95/98: € 0,984 / € 1,016

The prices were lifted just today. Bastards.

Anyway, currently i drive Mitsubishi Lancer 1993. Next summer i'm probably going to find a new one and in future i'm planning to turn my Lancer to Lancer Evo II or III. Just a little-bit make-up, new engine, suspension, coloured interior and so on.

Shouldn't take that long if your not at fault right? I'm not sure if your in the US or not but it usually doesn't take no more than 2weeks to get the matter resolved.
