Who drives the oldest car?!

Proud owner of a Fiat Uno 1994 here. Anyone else driving a car from the 90s? From the 80s or the 70s, perhaps?

I ride something that was made in 1990.

Ba dum tsssss

My Jeep and Motorcycle have a combined 4000 miles lol. I LOOOOOOSE!

99 blzer

fuel efficiency 6.4 km / litre

booya

Used to have a 1976 Chevy Caprice on 22s with a candy paint job.

Now I have a 1996 Honda Accord.

As much as I loved that Chevy, the Honda is a much smarter choice.

1991

Was the Chevy older than you, Orangest? For some reason I don't think of you as someone in his mid/late thirties

Whoa, what model is it? We have a winner!

Plymouth Voyager.

Love it. I hope you have some sort of Logan's Run airbrush theme on the side panels.

You can have entire raves in there!

Mine is shorter with wood paneling.




Okay, okay. Wood paneling decals bloated from underneath with outcroppings of corrosion near the edges. As far as science fiction themes go, Road Warrior is more what we're looking at, here. It's so bad that you can hear the wind hitting the body-panel insulation from the corroded underside. If you can imagine the sound of a heavy-duty garbage bag filled with Styrofoam peanuts, being jostled by the wind - that's pretty much the noise. The paint job is all but an after-thought; a mostly worn away, generic shade of brown that has left a drab, sort of rust colored camouflage pattern on the hood and roof. Tire rims are completely rusted and hubcaps removed - there was one or two left, when I got here. We joke that it is held together with a sticker that came with Fallout 3 and enjoy Michigan's complete lack of any sort of automotive inspection, what-so-ever.



It would be illegal to operate it, elsewhere.

My first car was an 88 Chevy Nova that I paid $500 for. It was immaculate, yet antediluvian in design. It would frequently stall out and send me into ditches if I attempted a 90-degree turn at over 15mph. In fact, I was once pulled over for cornering so slowly, my blinker couldn't maintain as I steadily grinded rightward to avoid exceeding 90-degrees. I also had a chicken bucket full of mountain dew between my legs, but I digress.

My dad used to have an early 90s Cougar when we lived in fucking nowhere, and on one trek to "town" (lol, midwesterners know what I mean), the muffler began to steadily fall off and gradually disintegrate on the way home, sending a shower of sparks from beneath the car for a good 45 minutes to mark our passage well into the twilight. Many a neighbourhood children were hurried off the sidewalks that night.

Sounds like defective fuel tank baffles. Did it happen on a full tank or just when it was less than a quarter tank or so?

Since I was 16 years old, I'm going to go with 'less than a quarter tank'.

You kids! You don't know the value of a dollar. Back in my day, we all drove around with full tanks of gas that avoided having a high concentration of water and other impurities accumulating in the gas tank.







Of course, I grew up in the eighties.

Yea.

Before gas prices jumped up Florida (and the South in general) was known for cars like this.

Still see them, just not as frequently. And people are definitely not wasting their money on rims, sound systems, paint jobs, etc. as much as they used to, either.

That could be because of a change in the trends and times, or just the shitty economy.

A gird n' cleek . ( 1912 ) .
