Just as the title says, what do you use to get around? Be it a car, bike, or even your own two legs. " Or as I like to call them, Chevrolegs."

As for me, I prefer the older type of vehicle. My first car was a 69 VW beetle, which I still regret getting rid of... Currently I'm knocking around in a 74 Ford Maverick, it's a car I had pining after for quite some time. I've been restoring it and using it as a daily driver, which actually doesn't work too well.

1995 Nissan Patrol for me and the fiancé. Picked it up for $8,000, spent $3,000 fixing up the suspension and whacking a new turbo on it. And now it is the ultimate "oops I hit a tree and I don't give a shit" machine. Which is exactly why we bought it.
That being said, we are looking at picking up a 2005/6 ish Toyota Prado later this year, just for something more comfortable.

I drive a Pontiac Vibe. Lets me move a bit extra when I want, decent gas milage, not too fancy but functional.

And the thread title very much tempted me to post "Your mom."

The Pussywagon, AKA 2003 Jeep Liberty. My mom wanted something 'safe' as my first car, I like it but it has shitty gas kilometrage.

It sports a Pussywagon decal and keychain, a Tequila Se'lai sticker, a Heisenberg decal, I <3 My Pug bumper sticker and some radio station bumper stickers. I also installed the car deck myself but it looks super ghetto since it won't fit through the face plate so it's just kind of...sitting there.

Bike #1, Keeway Speed 125. Economic, comfy though not very fast. Ideal for short rides to the lake, or around the city.

And the beast! >:3
Kawasaki ZX12R, 2004 model, imported from the US by a friend of mine. 200 ponnies, speed limiter on 186mph/300kmh. Needless to say that all the cops love me. Need I say more?

Good point. Though the only one who can do it properly is a dude [shop] that's almost 200 miles away. It'll happen someday I suspect, though the improvement is only 30km/h. Pfft 330 top speed... >.>

I drive a GMC Envoy affectionately known to my friends as the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation, Big Black Cock, or Big British Cock, they all apply). It's rusted to hell, due to my living in Western New York, USA, but I love it. I also have a pretty nice bicycle, but because I love in the middle of nowhere (Cassa DOES have me beaten, though, I admit), it's harder for me to bike to places.

My dad took the Envoy today. When he gets home I'll post a picture of it for your viewing enjoyment.

nothing fancy here, a 2006 Durango - with added nerf bars, tow package and the likes since it gets used for long hauls and or having to help drag my father in law around and his power chair and such and a 2004 Rav4 sport- which has the extra wide body, external intakes and all that.

It all works, up here you are pretty much in mountain terrain, or hauling children and projects , large dobsonian telescopes and other things around

Thats a nice vehicle. My parents had a 2001 model when I lived in New York a few years back.

I did the same thing on my VW, used it as a shelf for my ipod.
