What do you drive?

[dyasu]

Thought it'd be interesting to see what everyone uses to cruise around the islands :P



2007 Acura RDX in Carbon Grey Pearl
240 HP from an iVtec 4 cylinder variable flow turbo
0-60 MPH in under 7 seconds
1/4 mile in under 15 from a dead stop

Not bad for an SUV that weighs 4000 pounds! This car has some great handling and power on the road. I love it!

Right now I'm driving NOE crazy but she has a NISSAN ALTIMA whose name is LOCAL GIRL and WE have an ISUZU RODEO whose name is BIG GIRL. Sorry, no pics and I don't feel like running outside...in one of those moods but thought I'd add to the thread anyways.

"When the steering wheel was first put into use in automobiles, it was called the "whip". The whip is what you used to control the horses on a stagecoach, hence the analogy. Many years later, various hip hop artists noticed that the Mercedes-Benz logo resembled a steering wheel. They then proceeded to use the old term "whip" to describe any Mercedes-Benz vehicle. The term has now been generalized to classify any expensive automobile."

Re: What do you drive?

My boulevard cruiser is a 1996 Acura RL. I've had it for nearly seven years and have put on 100K miles since getting it off a lease-return. The only reasons to replace it are: 1) I've used up the depreciation for business purposes, and 2) I'm looking at a large maintenance bill by year's end ($1500 to replace the struts, $600 for tires, $500 for major service). Plus, the molding around my moonroof is starting to rust. And, my CD-changer is located in the trunk, not in the dash. But, I'm likely to keep it as a spare car instead of trading. I'd never to be able to get a better car for it's "trade value."

The "boss" has her 2001 Honda Odyssey minivan, which has been most useful for Costco and Home Depot runs, airport pick-ups when my sister and her brood fly in from the Big Island, and general tooling around.

The third car is a 1996 Honda Accord which is the mini-Acura: four-door, white, gas-saver with it's four-cylinder engine. But, it has an after-market spoiler, a bit larger than the dealer-installed option. The kids drive it.

Nice Mazda CX-9 shown above. I'm going to give that or its "little brother," the CX-7, a good look.

As I mentioned in the original thread about vehicles, I will never understand hip-hop culture. To me it is either a car, a truck, SUV, motorbike, or whatever... never have and never will be a "whip".

A whip is what Indiana Jones uses in the movies.
