Hmm.....

Others come on????

Your Thoughts????

[EllyMae]

I'm sorry I don't know anything about cars or trucks...
I'm your typical girl.. haha

[leahmb]

Hm..interesting thread. Is it to show how ignorant we are on these topics?? I'll share what I know. I have a '93 Acura Legend. Acura is the same as Honda, but under a different name, so they can charge more. My car is a MANUAL transmission, which means you use a clutch and have to shift between gears. It has a V6 engine, which I guess makes it a "high performance" vehicle. Oh, you don't call engines a V4, they are a "four cylinder." And V8's are pretty exciting because they are the high-powered ones that can go FAST. They come in cars like Crown Vics (which are what police use) and big trucks.

*hint* there is NO SUCH THING as "headlight fluid"

This is simply awesome I'm injoying it already. Don't you think the guys will or some at least be dieing to post on this but can't. Sorry I don't mean to be rude but it dose make me smile.

I drive a something................ year chevy S10 single cab also manule. I absolutly love the fact that I have to shift. I like the feeling of being able to have fun when I drive and also being able to controle the vical better then with an auto. Any way for looks it dose not look really great. Rust coverd, riped box, tail gate held to gether by a budgy cord, interure in not so great shape, no stairo, and gut less. Maxed out is 120 (in forth gear which gives you more power)
but you know the great thing about it is. Its really made me trust God. Theres many things I could testify about it and I might later but I want to just say. That when you drive something thats not really great and every one eles drives something way better just remember that if God gave it to you then be happy with it. Mine has its problems but I don't complain about them and sorry if it sounded like I did before. I was only trying to let you know what it was like. I am just thank full that I am still alive because if it was not for Christ keeping me safe on the road my funral should have happend months ago. NOT JOKING.

[Kayla]

i wish i knew more about cars....but they never interested me at all until it came close to time for me to actually be able to drive one and then i didn't really care about engines and things. i just wanted a car that wasn't falling to pieces and i happened to like for whatever reason.

i drive a 2001 nissan altima that i'm madly in love with. even if i've already had to replace my tires twice. the only thing i would change about it would be to make the lights automatically turn off. i always leave them on and 3 times the first month i started driving i got down to my car after school to find the battery completely and utterly dead. so dead that i had to manually unlock it. luckily i have friends that took auto mechanics this year!

it's an automatic because after one incredibly scary experience driving my friends manual truck in which i left skid marks all along one of my neighborhood's roads i decided it would probably be in the best interest of myself and fellow drivers if i stuck with an automatic.

[marichino_freedom]

i've been driving since i was 17, and i have had four cars in the last five years (i'm 21 now).

the first car i had was an 86 station wagon...the thing ran like crazy, but whenever it rained i had to plug in the chip for the wipers (and would get shocked the whole time since i had to hold it there).

then i had a 92 ford taurus.....one window wouldnt roll down and it leaked tranny fluid by the bucket.....it just went kaput

then i had an 86 honda accord....piece of junk. roared, leaked, and wouldn't run after it would get under a certain temperature. the muffler fell off two times....i finally got it to the junkyard.

most recently, i had a 93 chrysler cirrus....pretty nice, aside from a slight tranny leak. but it just recently went kaput (huge electrical problem).

now i am relying on my mom and grandma for rides.

i need a car (before school starts.....FAST!!)

[FreeAtLast]

overhere in Germany almost everyone drives a manual car.

uhhh, (yeah i guess i shouldn't be telling this considered i'm underage! lol)

I like manual better. It was also the first type of vical I ever drove. They are way more fun to drive. It seems to keep me focused more.

Wow it sounds like you have had your share with bad cars. I have a sugestion to make. I don't know if you did this already in the past but I would say pray for the next car that you are going to by.
I did about my truck and I know it dose not look like much but it drives and whats more is I know that I got it becuase God wanted me to. Not a doute in my mind. The good thing about it is that it has helped me trust him more. And I am thankfull for each time i can drive it becuase I know that its only by Gods grace that I get to where i want to go.

*sigh* I don't own a car.

Sure when I go past a cool car I think wow thats cool. But seeing that I do not drive because I'm only 13 helps a lot. Also I get tierd of hering the guys talk about it why do we have to?:) oh no efense for those who love cars.:)

Its neat to get different prospectives on it. And well if you don't want to talk about cars you don't have to. Its really all your own choice. I presonaly kind of do because I grew up in a family where cars were big at the dinner table. And as you drive one you learn to relise that knowing about them is actully good.

I love my 1975 Ford Maverick. It's a sweet car!

[already bought]

I love my 1975 Ford Maverick. It's a sweet car!

how long have you had it?
What dose it look like?

[Babyruth]

It's technically my dad's, but I pay for everything, so it's technically mine. It is light blue. I don't have a picture of it, but this is close, just with 4 doors instead of 2. http://rednecktrucks.tripod.com/jamesh/75maverick/br.jpg.

[zeeba]

yeah...i'm happy with anything that runs and gets good MPG.
my parents are awesome and got an 05 chev cavelier (2 door, light blue) for me to drive while I go to school...and possibly buy when i'm finished and have a real job lol

it cost less than 30 bucks to fill up for a change!! wooo!!!

[redeemed]

30???? wow!!! what kind of mpg does it get??

[God'schild]

i bought a truck that drives for less then a 1000 from a brother in my church..

I thank God that he blessed me with a vechiel(sp?)

[redeemed]

huh??? sorry didn't catch that

[zeeba]

i get about 30 mpg highway...less in town. but i commute to school 40 mins each way everyday, so i have to fill up every week. it's a pain, but by God's grace i manage. :D

[redeemed]

30 mpg!!! gracious!!! that's really nice!

[azurity]

Umm... I guess that's good. It would help if you girls spoke metric!!

Fuel is so expensive in Australia. It costs me almost $80 to fill up my car, and that will only last for 500km's. Makes me think twice before going anywhere.

My first car was a 1987 Holden Camira (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Camira). A total bomb, but at least it started every time. It was auto, and used to "clunk" when it slowed down, because it skipped from 3rd gear to 1st. Everytime I drove over a bump, the boot (trunk) would pop open. I work on a dirt road, so I drove in every day with the boot wide open. It was dead embarrassing.

I sold that as soon as I started working full time. I now drive a 2000
Daewoo Nubira (http://auto.consumerguide.com/auto/used/reviews/full/index.cfm/id/2450/). It drives ok, tho it's playing up at the moment. But that should be fixed tomorrow. It constantly has a coat of dirt about 3" thick on it. Too many dirt roads around here to bother keeping it clean!

The car I really want is the Holden Vectra (http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/action/modeloverview?modelid=3003). It has been my dream since before I ever owned a car at all. I'm just waiting for it to come down in price!!

[Babyruth]

I love the new fuel economy cars, like the Smart Car, and the Honda Element. They are soooooooooo nice!!!!!!!!!!

[marichino_freedom]

too bad they are waaaaayyyy too expensive!

[Babyruth]

I know!!!!! Anyone want to donate to the Buy Ruth a Smart Car fund? :D

[marichino_freedom]

i'll take one of those too!

[Babyruth]

:)......................

[Anna]

I wanna a little spyder eclispe convertible.....soooo cute....and sporty....and way out of my budget....lol

[Babyruth]

Why is it that the cars we like are too expensive? I like the fuel economy cars because they are good for the environment and my pocket book. Shouldn't they be cheaper?

[Anna]

everything is expensive this day and age... aargh...so annoying

my first car was free for me....but it was a serious clunker...someone at my church bought a new car and the one they had before was on it's last legs so they gave it to me...it was a stick shift....which i didn't know how to drive...i learned pretty quickly though, after many yells and jeers from passerbys lots of laughter from other cars, and many tears later...

[Babyruth]

Leah taught me to drive stick about a month ago. I need to practice more. My dad has a nice stick shift car, so he doesn't want me to practice on it, but I need to! So I have to do it when he's not home. :D

Gonna go now, nice "posting" with you. :)

[Anna]

sure thing.... don't ruin his clutch....and he will never know the dif... :)

[Babyruth]

I'll try. :D

black cars are nice...and I'm actually happy with the car I have now...it's a 99 chrysler sebring convertible....little green thing...lol...but I really want that spyder eclipse one...mom said that once I graduate from the University she would give that to me as my grad present...don't know if that's true...but even if she just cosigns and helps pay a little that would be kewl with me....haven't decided on a color for it though...kinda partial to that blue grayish color....but i dunno

[AlanaH]

Hey, well, count your blessings (and the $$$ flowing out of your pockets for gas):) , but at least you can drive and actually have a car....
I feel so left out!!!:012:
Just kidding. I'm not ready to give up my personal drivers anytime soon. They are so loving and committed to me....<sigh> it's awesome...

Are you laughing at me???:shuriken: :chef (minus the chef hat. Why can't there be a smiley that is just sharpening a knife? They could name it after me! Ok, that's it! I'm complaining....)

Not at you, with you. It's funny. You parents are awesome! I love them!

If you want a smilie, ask Samurai, he made the chef one for collegegirl.

[AlanaH]

Yes, my parents are the best!
Really, samurai makes smilies? I will have to ask him....

[Babyruth]

He does if you are really, really nice to him. :)

[Babyruth]

Yeah, same here. Though, not sure about the gas thing, the price anyways. I hated waiting for my parents. They were always late and it was terrible. Freedom! Even though I get tired of driving, it's so nice!

I don't know. If there are other people there, I think it will be nicer. And Adventures and Odyssey always helps!:D

[collegegirl]

Adventures in Oddessey, man I love those things. I just can't believe Connie was that close to getting married and didn't.

[blessed]

Is that a book?

[collegegirl]

I didn't start driving til after I turned 18 too....


Got my license the day I turned 18, and my best present was a good looking photo on my driver's license. :D

HA! I only have $200 left to pay on my car. I got a really nice one for $2500, and I bought it in Dec. And...I pay less than $80 in gas a month. :harhar1: (I just thank the Lord that everything is really close.)

[collegegirl]

Is that a book?
No, that is a radio series. Lots of fun. Radio drama.

www.whitsend.org

Christian based, for the most part. They do have a few that are iffy, but most are really good.

[Babyruth]

Adventures in Oddessey, man I love those things. I just can't believe Connie was that close to getting married and didn't.
I love Odyssey! It's so cool! I listened to it all the time when I was little. Still do. :D

[AlanaH]

I never have, just didn't see the need to...oh well.

[Babyruth]

Oh, it's the best! I love it!

[AlanaH]

I spend my time posting and watching Gaither videos...combine those two alone, and I have 0 time for anything else....lol :)

[Babyruth]

Yeah, no kidding. :D

[AlanaH]

Well, it's true! Might as well admit it!:)

[leahmb]

Adventures in Oddessey, man I love those things. I just can't believe Connie was that close to getting married and didn't.

Those are the one's we're going to listen too ; ) The whole Novacom saga...I think I packed enough to get us there and back without a break!

[collegegirl]

Man, I didn't hear all of them, but we got pretty close. Are they available on CD's? I think it would be worth investing $20 or so. I LOVED that series.

[AlanaH]

<sigh>
And once again, I have absolutely no clue what anyone's talking about...

[Babyruth]

It's ok Alana.

Yes, collegegirl, they are available. We listened to Odyssey pretty much the entire time there and back. :D It was fun.

[AlanaH]

Thanks for re-assuring me...;) Lol.
Hey, if it has anything to do with Odessey, I'm completely out of the loop...except for the St. Nicholas one...then I'm back in again. Remember me with that one, Ruth?;)

[Babyruth]

Oh yeah. :rofl:

[AlanaH]

Brings back some rather....unfond...memories....:rofl:

[Babyruth]

:rofl:.......

[Anna]

ok...so babyruth and alanah...how long have you all known each other?

[AlanaH]

Ever since I moved here which was 10 years ago...wait, 11 years in November...her family was one of the first we met, and we've been friends ever since.

[Anna]

ahh...so that's why you all know so much about each other....wow that's a long friendship though....

[AlanaH]

Yes, it is...and been pretty smooth so far...:y10:

[Babyruth]

Yeah. I've known Leah even longer. And spent way too much time with her and Krista in the car. :D

[AlanaH]

I've heard about those moments....hours...whatever...:)

[Babyruth]

:rofl:..........

[Anna]

man that is so awesome you have 2 other sisters there who are your age....at my church I am the oldest girl (22)...followed by my sis who's a year younger and then the next closest girl is 20...and then the others are 17, and 18
no one quite on the level I am...:(

[Babyruth]

Actually, there is around 20 or more girls my age. Leah and Krista are both 3 years older than me, or so.

[Anna]

:eek:
how big is your church????

[Babyruth]

Over 800 people.

[Anna]

woah!!!!! :aaaah:

How lucky are you guys!
Man we have maybe 1/10th of that....like 80 or so people....:(

[Babyruth]

Yeah, we are really blessed. This past weekend, I was in Idaho and my friend's church is tiny. There were 9 of us visiting and 20 people total, so it's pretty small too.

[Anna]

yep...I don't know what I would do if I didn't have people to fellowship with....probably move somewhere where other believers are..or something...

[AlanaH]

Yeah, we have an awesome church...there's 25+ people just in our birth year...plus all the other age groups. It's the best.

[Anna]

ok...now you don't have to rub it in...

[Babyruth]

You'll just have to move here. :)

[AlanaH]

Sorry.....

[Anna]

where you all at anyways???

and it's fine was joking alana...

I just went thru all posts in this subject to realized as I got to the end that what I was planing on posting was just out of the subject written about in the last 10 posts or so.

It went from talking about car, to a program or serie (not too sure..I applied quick reading to those posts) to church size finally.

Some of these posts really look like chat rooms rather than forums. Oh well *sigh*.:jawdrop:

[marichino_freedom]

lets see....there's about 13 people on a good day for us....

[Babyruth]

Tis true they are more like chat rooms, but they aren't chat rooms in a bad sense. It's just that we often happen to be on at the same time, so we respond more quickly than if no one else is on.

Speaking of chat rooms any one here on msn, you can Pm me your addy so I can add you all.

I was going to post some enlightening car and truck info, but that would be off topic.:harhar1: lol On a average, my church has 15 people, .

[AlanaH]

Found another one!! :)

While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner or the carriage obviously had a sence of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign... Energy efficient vehicle. Runs on oats and grass. Caution: Do not step in exhaust. :)

[AlanaH]

That's cute too...
And I'm looking for a nice one to contribute, but all I keep finding are ones with animated cartoons or pictures that don't show up here. Grrrrrr....

[Libby]

A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn't find a space with a parking meter. So he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: I have circled the block 10 times. If I don't park here, I'll miss my appointment. FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES.
When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note. I've circled this block for 10 years. If I don't give you a ticket, I'll lose my job. LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION

dumb, but funny.

[vpiper]

I'm impressed you guys know a lot about cars, I didn't read it allmy but 12 pages about cars.

I don't ahve any jokes, but I learned a lot about cars working at an oil lube shop in highschool I also took a year course on cars, my favorite was body shop.

[AlanaH]

Last year at summer camp, they had a workshop course for girls on automotive. It was pretty cool.

Wanna hear something funny...the brother instructing it had loosened all the bolts on one tire for a trick....he had me take them off (they pretty much fell off) and had this kid try one of the other tire and could not do it...so we were making fun of him that a girl was stronger than him...he didn't find out for a little while.

[AlanaH]

Oh that was you? I thought for some reason that it was someone else. But yeah, that story pretty much went around the whole camp. :)

[leahmb]

yUP, twas I...Bro. Ron told me ahead of time his plan <hehe>

[AlanaH]

Yeah, it was pretty funny. These big tough guys are trying to loosen the bolt and not being able to, and here comes Leah and pops it right off. The guys weren't too happy as I recall. :)

[leahmb]

Actually it was a twirpy little cocky guy....but I'm sure now he thinks it's funny.

[AlanaH]

Either that or he still smarts from the memory of being humilated in front of so many people.

[marichino_freedom]

lol....that would have been funny.

i know the basics of cars...like changing tires, changing brakes, fluid, and recently, i can now change spark plugs (or at least i know how.....if it came down to it!)....i've greased enough of them

[Noe]

You certainly know alot more than i do. Although its not hard to know more than me really. i have to ask my Dad or my bros whats up when something doesn't work right and most times i'm like 'duh why didn't i think of that.'

[AlanaH]

Wow...I don't really know how do anything with a car. I suppose I need to learn. I couldn't be at the workshop last year for the whole time, so I really missed out.

[marichino_freedom]

lucky for me i dont HAVE to do these things.....but i know how in case i did. for now, i just help out.

[AlanaH]

Same here, but I suppose it might be different if I had my own car and got stuck somewhere.

[marichino_freedom]

if anything, it helps to know how to change a tire.....

samurai and his two brothers have helped in some way or another on my car(s)......lucky me!! :)

his brother seth had worked on my cars alot....thats where i learned what i know about cars

[AlanaH]

My mom knows tons (my grampa and both uncles were mechanics), so I suppose I'll probably learn from her.

[Babyruth]

Leah, I remember that camp. That was hilarious! That poor little guy. :D

I can do some basic stuff on my car, enough to keep it running, and what I can't do, my dad does for me.

[AlanaH]

Yeah, I remember that all the guys were picking on him for that. Probably took his ego down a notch for the moment. :) Not necessarily a bad thing.

I think it is important for anyone who has a driver's License to know the basics, how to put gas in (I had a friend in Oregon who didn't know cause it's illegal to have self-serve pumps in Oregon), Change a tire, check tire pressure, check oil, radiator, transmission, and washer fluid levels. And know what the temperature gage means.

[marichino_freedom]

really?!!! thats illegal to pump your own gas!?

ludacris....

Check on all those. Wanna know something funny/scary? My car doesn't have a temperature gage, that was an extra that the original owner decided not to invest in. Oh, the year of my car? 1975 :D

[vpiper]

no temp gage, that's scary

Yes In Oregon they decided they need jobs so bad that they make gas stations hire people to pump your gas for you.

one time my friend and I were headed to church in town(Oregon) and we ran over a nail and the tire thumped every time we ran over the nail so we spent 20 minutes try to figure out what the thump was, then I told her I could switch the tire out to the spare if we find a good place to do it(well lit). so we pulled in to the gas station and I started to work on it and the gas attendant came over and did it for us. I reminded him to loosen the bolts before raising the tire off the ground and to tighten the bolts after lowering it back down. In the end we did not make it to church that night.

[AlanaH]

Yeah. My dad really offended a guy that came over to pump our gas because he insisted on doing it himself. It was only when we got home that we learned about that law. It's awesome though, Oregon has no sales tax. Pretty cool.

[marichino_freedom]

That is cool....

[leahmb]

That's the only think I don't like about my favorite Pilot Travel Center--It's in Oregon. I don't like having them pump my gas; it's awkward! Are you supposed to watch them? Talk to them? Plus I felt they were peering into my car....

[Babyruth]

I love Pilot!!!!!!!!!

[leahmb]

I love Pilot!!!!!!!!! I know you do.....; )

[vpiper]

my question is are you suppose to tip them if they wash your windows for you or anything. Cause I don't and I've tried to wash my own windows and they didn't like that.

[AlanaH]

I think they're paid to do that, but you can tip them if you want to. At least, that's what my dad said.

[leahmb]

I made Ruth get out and do it and they seemed fine with it. The pumpers don't seem too enthusiastic about their jobs, so they shouldn't care if it's less work for them.

[Babyruth]

Yeah, she made me do it, sniff, like I'm some kind of slave or something.

[leahmb]

haha, as I recall you kind of wanted to do it......I'm sorry if you felt like a slave...<not really:D > but we know all princesses DO need a few....

[Babyruth]

I was joking. Of course I didn't, Princess Leah.

[vpiper]

I love washing windows it's fun, I use to love washing Dishes but now I have to do it Twice a day, the excitement is fading.

[marichino_freedom]

haha....dishes....i never cared much for them. gotta do them anyway.

[Libby]

I don't like washing dishes lol.
The other day we ( me and my sister, Noe)were driving behind this car and on the back of the car they had a sticker and on the sticker was : "if you get any closer you will have to marry me" :) i thought that one was kinda funny:)

[SisTrev]

hee hee...that's a rather amusing one. Haven't seen that one before. LOL!

[vpiper]

that's a good one,

We have one that says
"I believe in the big Bang theory
God Spoke and Bang it happened"

We bought it on our honeymoon 4 1/2 years a go and have yet to put it on our car.

[redeemed_lizzi]

That's brilliant, I love it :D

My sister told me about this one she saw on a beat up old car saying,' anything worth stealing in this car has already been stolen'.

[marichino_freedom]

lol! thats a great one!

man, wish i had something like that when my car was broken into.....not that it would have helped

[redeemed_lizzi]

Oh no, that's soo gutting. Was anything stolen or were you lucky?

[marichino_freedom]

yeah....stereo....and my window was smashed

[Babyruth]

That's brilliant, I love it :D

Ha!!!! That is soo like my car. I've seen two hilarious license plate things recently. One was on a car older than my 1975 Maverick and the license plate said "Guzzler." My car is a pig! It wants more, more, more! It begs me for premium but I refuse. In response to my refusal, it killed the choke, just to spite me. But I outsmarted it and took it to a mechanic who not only fixed that, but also my signal lights. I told Helga if she was good, I might put premium in her sometime. :D The other funnny thing was on the license plate holder it said: "0-60 in 15 minutes." I want them for my car, but I don't agree with spending that much on a personalized plate for a 1975 hog named Helga. :D

I don't think she'll get this, because she's @ work till 6...but I'm sure she'll be there long enough after for you to catch her.

[AlanaH]

Ok, good...:) Surprises abound...

Old Lady Driving

There is an old lady driving on Interstate 22. A police car pulls her over and explains to the lady she is going 22 mph.
She said 'I know, isn't that the speed limit? The officer said, 'No, this is interstate 22'.
The police officer looks in the back seat and there are three children looking quite ill. He asks her if they need help and she explains,
'No, we just left interstate 119.'

[marichino_freedom]

lol....i've heard that one before. too cute

[vpiper]

I read it to my hubby the other night he thought it was funny, but bad
