I drive and old Toyota Landcruiser like this one. It looks like a jeep because that's what it's based off. The American military needed vehicles to patrol in when they occupied Japan, and Japanese car makers were asked to come up with a locally built version.

 

It's not the most fuel efficient vehicle out there, but I argue that my truck is more environmentally friendly then buying a new car. Firstly, I bought the truck second hand, so I'm not at fault for the pollution created from manufacturing the vehicle; the person who bought it new is. Secondly, I could drive this truck for the rest of my driving life and still make less emissions then are created in the construction of a new car, especially something fancy like a Prius.

East Africa and South Iran also look like that.

I can tell by the number plate as well.

there should be a plate on the car somewhere (usually the drivers door jamb or somewhere in the engine bay) that has the date the car was finished being made in case you want to know

I drive Caterpillar. Best cars ever!

I know it's supposed to be a shoe joke but Caterpillar actually does make heavy machinery and vehicles...

I don't drive. I ride.

 

This classic train allows me to travel all over Bangkok, fast and sufficient. I can get to destination A to D in a matter of a couple of minutes, its direct and even has air conditioning.

 

Yeah...it's just a train...

 

 

If I'm feeling particularly edgy, I go underground.

 

 

Or go to a destination I can't reach via skytrain...only for 25 baht, you can't even buy a 50p sweet in England if converted.

Since I was a kid I wanted a Mustang, of course I couldn't afford the insurance until well after I was 25 at which case I lived in Colorado and didn't want to die. So when I moved back to Florida I found my car a 2006 GT in Tungsten Gray.

Weekends/Breaks. Or you could deregister it and keep under cover until needed again. You'll only need to turn the motor on and let it run for a while to get the cobwebs out and keep the battery charged.

 

Good to know Montreal has good PT and (I presume) cheap enough to get people out of their cars. The car needs to become like the horse, something people take out for fun on a weekend or holiday. Australia is totally neglecting public transport, particularly since the current federal government came to power.

Yea basically a for-fun ride now. De-reg is tempting, but I still use it for larger grocery hauls (especially in winter), or airport pickups, or Ikea trips.

Montreal PT I think is fairly cheap, I think? I've never really used PT anywhere else I've lived, Edmonton and Canada-prairie cities in general are not great for that.

I am disappointed that nobody has answered this by claiming to drive a Chevy Malibu, regardless of whether or not they do.

Me, I have a black '96 Sunfire GT. It's a pretty decent car, all things considered, although it could be better in the snow and ice. It could also be worse. I've driven it through some fairly nasty snow storms and it's come out fine. Considering how old it is, it's also in rather good condition. I've only had it for the last seven years, and the previous owner/owners clearly didn't take quite as good care of it as they could have, so I expect that some day the undercarriage will simply become too rusty to continue -- but until then, it suits me well enough.

If I lived somewhere where it was feasible, I wouldn't drive, but unfortunately public transport around here is quite lacking and things are too far apart to walk or bike to everything.

'14 Nissan Versa. I hope to be able to afford the new model 3 Tesla when it comes out in 2017.
