So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

[JessicaTam]

And no temperature warning light activated?

Just the yellow engine warning light. The book says to "visit an authorised service centre".

We never did a Commodore car nor computer. Our love affair with Toyota started with a Celica in the seventies. It was about a year old and the sellers name was Dick Flick....never forgot his name.....
Need to do a good bike ride to burn off the chocolate......tomorrow as I don’t have lights.

Oh, God. Don't start my husband about the Celica and how he rebuilt her. Please don't...

the Celica was my dream car. I imagined if I could somehow own one of those I would suddenly be a hot chick and all my problems solved. Never got the car and never became a hot chick. Oh the fantasies of youth.

I bought the Celica for Mrscove and as a lucky break I remained in the good books with her. Now Mrscove has graduated to Lexus and she gets hers from the new car lot. I was getting my car serviced and in 30 minutes she bought another one while I was getting an update on my car.

For some time in the early 70s the car of the dreams was a 24 ounce.As in Datsun 240Z.

My brother had great taste in cars. He bought a brand new yellow Celica when it was first released. And a British green Leyland Mini. Also brand new. He had a great time in his twenties.

Who could forget the Datsun 240Z. Definitely sex on wheels that beast was.

I also liked the old escort cars. BTW, if you're going to google Escorts, add the word Car to the search first

Was teasing hubby with hiring a Datsun when in SAfrica. Maybe next year...

A lot of my dreaming time as a youngster revolved around fast and flash wheels.
Now I can buy whatever I want (within reason) , I have no desire at all….

Hubby wanted a Jag for the 3+ weeks we toured Scotland and after being a passenger in it all that time, it needs to come with a 20yr girlfriend because I didnt like it at all plus I think Jag is nickle & diming its customers now.

We were allowed to take a red 240Z for a 2 hour spin out of Cobar.No turns.And it is true-red cars do go faster.

We wanted to hire a Lamborghini for dad's 80th. Dad declined saying he could get in but not get out. Husband was very disappointed lol

please note I am still being a very good spouse and listening to my husband talk about his work environment from about forty years ago.

A couple of years ago Avis upgraded us to a red Corvette in Miami.Sadly we had to go back and ask for a change.Neither of us could get in.

I decided it would never get better than this, and only bought "family" cars thereafter.

Edit: '69 HK Monaro, bought second hand 1972.
