Car you wouldn't be caught dead in?
 

As a counterpart to krazy's dream car thread, what type of vehicle would you not be caught dead driving?

(Apologies if this has already been discussed. I'm too lazy to do a search. :p )

For me, there is no force in heaven or earth that could get me behind the wheel of a minivan. No station wagon for me either. Those types of vehicles are too practical and not enough fun for me - you know, like "sensible shoes". If the hypothetical future little ones want me to drop them off at soccer, they can just pile into my little sports car. :p

I'd never be caught in a minivan, SUV, pick up truck or high end sports car.

My old 1967 Chevy Corvair which I had in college after my Triumph Roadster finally died.

Didn't that one have an issue blowing up or something?

I believe you're thinking of the Ford Pinto of the same era.

The Corvair had one of the first independent rear suspensions, and had a rear engine (like the VW Bug) and tended to need outriggers to make it around corners. Or maybe training wheels.

It was the star of a very famous book called "Unsafe at any Speed," written by the famous author and public speaker, Ralph Nader. And look what happened to him.

ETA, when the Triumph finally passed on, my dad was excited to have me driving a "safe" American car...

A Chevy Suburban or any other giant SUV. I sat in one at the Chicago Auto Show and I felt like I would be driving the bus. No thanks! A Hummer seems like much too much as well.

Also, one of those pickup trucks where the tires are about three times the height of normal tires and you need a stepladder to get in.

Station wagon or mini-van.

SUVs, Mini Vans, or Pick Ups... People may like driving them. I certainly don't. Riding in them isn't a big deal though.

I'd never drive a minivan, pickup truck, large SUV, or hatchback.

Specific cars I wouldn't drive: Honda Element, Hummer, Scion anything

I wouldn't drive an SUV..
I think I would run someone over or back over them.

A car I wouldnt want just bc of looks.. hhmm.. dont think that matters to me.. I have ridden in some interesting trucks and cars too..

its funny bc one of my good friends.. her dream car was a new volvo station wagon.. she ended up getting one recently.. its fits her personality good though :)

a hurst

i see random people driving these around

there was someone that had one back home and he painted flames on it! it was the creepiest thing ever!

You mean a hearse?

LOLZ you probably would be caught dead in a hearse.

Hopefully not driving it! ;)

I used to have a station wagon. When my Grand Prix died, my parents passed that car down to me. Surprisingly, it was the most comfortable car I've driven. And I could drive all my friends around :)

I wouldn't drive a huge redneck truck, a Hummer, a Scion, an Element, or the worst-- a Pontiac Aztec. Those are just gross.

ETA: Someone on my best friend's street has a hearse. THe license plate? UR NEXT. Scary :eek:

Lots of bands around here drive hearses.

Have you ever rode in a freakin' GEO TRACKER? It's like riding in a toy car, and I've always been afraid that the shit was going to fly fly away whenever we'd get heavy winds. :rolleyes:

Seriously, they're death traps. I don't know why my friend Brandy was so friggin' proud of her ugly lime green Geo Tracker.

A Gremlin!

All the hearse talk got me thinking... I think the Dodge Magnum is FUGLY. It totally reminds me of a hearse (although this pic doesn't show that factor too well)!

I know this shouldn't be funny but for some reason I can't stop laughing about it, LOL. I have a strange sense of humor though so that probably explains it. ;)

Well I always said I wouldn't be caught dead in the type of car I have which is mentioned somewhere in this thread, but it was given to me, was my grandfather's when he died and since I live in NYC where people drive like maniacs and will bump your car trying to parallel park, I opted for this for right now since it makes ZERO sense to get something new. Also, I drive CONSTANTLY for work and don't want to put tons of mileage on something new. With the cost of insurance and a car payment, who can afford something brand new in NYC anyways (especially at my age and I have a ton of new student loans to pay off!!!!)

a studebaker....ugly as ugly can be.

Cadillac and Lincoln town cars! I don't know a humble person who drives those cars.

I agree. Yuck.

Don't forget PTCruisers! Especially the black ones.

I've always called those midget hearses

My BF LOVES this car! He says when we start a family, it will make the perfect family car. I think the only reason he likes it is because it has a hemi. Hopefully, his love for this car will fade... :rolleyes:

Any SUV

a PT cruiser, honda element, anything kia

definitely not a massive SUV or a hummer. they're just ridiculous

Hummers suck! So do PT Cruisers. I don't like those cars that look like boxes. I know Toyota has one and I think the other one is a Honda. They're horrible...

Me too!! I also can't stand the Dodge Magnum, the Scion, the Honda Element, and PT Cruisers.

A NOVA b/c they bring back nightmarish flashbacks of being dropped in junior high by my cousin who would purposely try to humiliate me.

I can't stand cars that are so small, they remind me of matchbox cars......it's too hard to get in and out of them. I'm not a big fan of the sports cars.......but I do really like SUV's--

I kinda like the magnum, I think it looks good... Not like a scion at all, IMO...

Rented one while I was in Fort Liquordale last month. Rides like a hearse, too. Seems to me that Mopar got a bad case of Teutonic overengineering courtesy of their lord und meister Daimler-Chrysler!

Any vehicle that GW Bush and gang are riding in at the same time.

Does EVERYTHING have to get political????? LOL!!! And that would be a Chevy Tahoe...



...but did it have a HEMI? That is the one I want...
