If not a hybrid or ev what would you drive

Honda Fit. Dependable, good mpg, hatchback.

 

A minivan.

 

Same thing I drive when I'm not driving my Prius now, a Corvette.

 

Adding to my first post.

I would also love to own and operate an semi tractor, a M977, and a trusty old M35.

Probably what I'm driving now....
A brace of motorcycles and an 09 Sierra.

Now........if I were rich enough to afford an EV, then I'd probably augment my humble fleet with a small hatchback.

If we're talking what I would roll if money were no object......then I'd probably also have to add something that requires premium unleaded fuel and sports a <4.0 second zero to sixty launch spec.

 

The STi is a stick too you know. And a few mods brings you to 400hp. The TS-V feels HEAVY. I really wish the TSX wagon came with AWD or RWD (and a big turbo). How about the (R)S4 Avant?

How about a Hayabusa? Maybe with a turbo? And a nitrous system? I've seen them. There's always the Nissan GT-R.


As for me: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolutoion IX

 

Ride not drive, this with a trackday a month thrown in for next couple years. 'Course would need a Tacoma with cruise control and short drives to track. Never got to a trackday on this one and only 2 on other bikes.



For mini-tours, a Honda NT700V would be nice. Not the time though as Moms is turning 84 next March and needing more looking after.

For a sports car, I'd like something I could fit in, but the list might be short.

 

I hear you on the STI - I have never driven one, but what I have heard is that it really is a rally car and a very tough car to have as a daily driver. If someone offered me an Audi wagon I would not turn it down - they are beautiful cars, but the reliability would make me classify them as a lease not buy car. Have you seen the new Allroad based on the A4? Looks beautiful in the brown in the picture.

 

Realistically, as I said above, if there were no EVs or hybrids, I'd probably drive a Civic. But getting wild, how about a Maybach Roadster? (They don't make them any more, but I once saw one in a luxury used-car showroom, and this picture does not do it justice.)

 

Naah.. funny thing with bikes that 4 grand buy you <4.0sec 0-60, if used. With new ones there are ones listed under 7K which will do 3.6-3.8sec

Unblown stock 'basa can do 1/4mi in 10 sec, 0-60 in 2.6sec if you can launch it right.

 

if gas wasn't of concern to me, and money didn't matter, I'd be rolling in an Escalade slammed on 22's with an aftermarket turbo/supercharger

 

The STi isn't really that hard to live with as a daily driver. A turbo timer surely helps, but otherwise it's just like any other car although the running costs are rather high (just like the Evolution). The only people I hear complaints from in terms of mechanical unreliability are those who have modified their cars poorly.

Yes, but stock wouldn't be quite as excessive as a turbo and a nitrous system

So you want to be like these dudes (http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-icy-hot-stuntaz):

 

My colleague still occasionally misses his STi, but he still doesn't miss the payments.

 

a scion xd would be nice.

 

To Drive:
A Honda Fit Sport (which I do)
A '66 Shelby Cobra 427 (which I will)

If money weren't an object, the last thing I'd drive is a slammed SUV with dubs. Or, if it were, come to think of it.

 

Ya mean besides what I already have...


Hmmmm...


OK:

 

^ Wuzzat???

 

If you take off your rose glasses you'll be back in the future.

My oh my which one today?

 

Nice fluxgate capacitor.
