Do you? Well, I do, but the problem is I don't have a Driver's license at the moment, I need to go renew it but I am too lazy to even take care of something that important. :P Sadly, if I need to go somewhere, a friend of mine takes me there.

I will fix my license, though, some day, but not today, definitely not tomorrow. Also, you can post a pic of your car/truck/etc. with you near it, I will post one if I see others do it. See ya.

I don't have my "own" vehicle persay, but I have a vehicle that's owned to my parents that I'm using consistantly. A 1995 Mitsubishi Diamante. It's been at least fairly dependable. :)

The only Vehicle i use it a Mazda.

No i can't drive i'm 16 so i ask somebody to drive it for me so i can go anywhere.

getting a student permit is a little troublesome for me so i rather have a driver drive me to places. XD

The only vehicle that I use often is my awesome student bicycle. It is sort of reliable, you can go to places where cars can't come and it has no CO2 emmission. I used holographic tape to make it more shiny and I have little beads in my front wheel.

Eventhough I have my drivers license, I don't like to drive because I'm scared I make mistakes especially when I have to park the car. If I drive I use my dads or my moms car which are a Ford Mondeo Ghia and a Ford Ka. I don't know the exact model numbers, but I'll try to take a picture of them this weekend.

Where Caleb and I live, it's almost mandatory to have your license and a vehicle to drive. Everything is too spread out to walk or ride your bike to and most people live out of town. Most 16 year olds get their licenses as soon as they can, here.

Caleb and I have two cars - a Plymouth Neon and a Kia Sephia. We like small cars :)

I don't have a car of my own, and I quite like that. I use my sister's when I'm away for school, and my parents during the summer.
What I would like, in the future, is to be able to just take the public transit or walk places. I'm not a fan of driving, plus it would just be a lot cheaper. No gas, no insurance, etc. :)

i'm 13 so no. but it would be sweet. I'd never have to have my mom drive me to wal mart everytime i wanted to buy a video game.

My parents bought me a car last week... The only problem is I have not started drivers training, and I am no where near getting it, so all they did was waste money on something that is going to sit in the garage for 10-12 months.

I do, but it's KIA at the moment.

It's a Dodge Shadow in case you're wondering.

We actually bought a different car for me last night. It's a 2004 Kia Rio. Much better than my current one. :)

I'm just fixing it up right now for when I can actually drive it...
It's a Ford Ranger.

I live in the city. I have my Drivers License Learners Permit. Which means I have to drive with an adult who is 21-years of age or older, or a relative who is 18-years of age or older. My girlfriend is 21, so I usually end up driving her car when we go places together to practice my driving. I wont be able to get my license until January because that is when I will have help my learners permit long enough that I can get my regular license!

I plan on buying a car after I get home from Air Force BCT and AIT. I am enlisting in the United States Air Force Reserves. While I am away training I should be able to bank enough money to have a really nice down payment on a Scion tC. I really can't wait!

I do! It's still functions quite well considering it's from 1994, and there's only a bit of rust in one palm-sized spot. It passes all of the tests to be legal on the road and my mechanic says it'll run for years to come (which I tend to agree), but I still can't help but feel it's going to fail on me sooner than later.

I've been casually looking for a new car for the past couple of years, but probably won't act just yet. I plan on waiting for the government reimbursement for an old vehicle comes to pass.

I do have my own car.

It's a 1997 Saturn 4-door sedan.
It's not great, but it gets AMAZING gas mileage. I can get over 200 miles on a tank of 12.2 gallons.

The best part about this car? It has less than 40,000 miles on it. No lie.

I know people with over 30 gallon tanks that barely get over 200 miles!
The one problem with my car is that it's made of fiberglass. If I get hit hard, I'm dead. This means that I have to pay strict attention while driving.
However, my car still runs nicely. I'm glad that it works, y'know?

I just wish that it had a better stereo...

I've had several. First I have a Jeep Cherokee. Once that one met its end, I got another. This one was slightly lifted and completely awesome in the snow and woods. It ended up having problems and sold it. Girlfriend then got a Scion TC, which I hate. Ended up getting a VW GTI which caught on fire a week after buying it ( a couple weeks ago ). I am now deciding between getting a G35 financed or buying my friends Integra outright.

Dude, 200 miles on 12.2 gallons of gas is about 16 miles per gallon. Your Saturn in effect gets as good of gas mileage as a Ford F150 pickup truck. Saturn should be more in the mid to high 20 miles per gallon range I would expect.

I technically own a '94(?) Chevy Chavalier, but it is not in my name yet. Something that is to be worked out in the not too distant future. It needs a battery and a LOT of work.

Lately, though, I've been driving a Dodge Grand Caravan. A few years old. It too needs some work.

My parents have three cars under their title. My dad has an Infiniti 37x, my mom drives a mini-van and I drive a 1995 Jeep Cherokee. It is my main car I use for every day use. I use it to drive to work and to drive to school every day. However, it's more of a temporary thing since I will be moving into college next year so I will not need a vehicle to drive around. I will have the right to use it if I make visits back home, but I won't have to use it around a college campus.

I have three more quarters and a summer left to use this vehicle. It's kind of nice having it around. I use it quite frequently.

Yep. 2006 Ford Focus. It's silver, has a spoiler, and is complete with a Stitch antenna topper and Domokun fuzzy dice. :) I had to get a car that's good on gas because I drive about 35 minutes to school everyday. My parents helped me a lot with the car, but they didn't mind so much since I'm the only kid going to college. So, yeah... you could call me a spoiled brat. :P

My parents may want me to drive, but I don't.

Well, my parents have a 2006 Honda Odyssey EXL and a 1999 Ford Taurus Show. I'm soon getting my learner's permit, and my dad is soon buying a car, so he's going to give me that beautiful work of art known as the '99 Taurus Show to me. Its a lot better than merely selling it. So, technically, right now, I, myself, don't own a car, but soon, I will.

The only thing wrong with the Taurus is the fact that the air conditioning is broken, locks must be manually activated (push down the tab, not the button) on the right hand side of the vehicle, and it uses premium gas. But, its my future car. I can buy a fan that uses the car battery (or take it in for a checkup), and I can also push down tabs. ;)

You mean a Taurus SHO? Maybe the a/c just needs a recharge? The compressor was broken on a VW I owned and was able to replace it fairly easily and recharge it with a recharge kit from Walmart. Don't buy a new compressor, they are expensive, go to a junk yard and pull one yourself.

No, and I really don't even want to drive. I'm just kinda scared to do so... I've been able to get my permit since November, but I haven't even studied for it yet.

If I'm gonna have to learn, I'd rather it be in the summer. I don't want any ice on the road.. >_<

I usually drive my stepmother's Prius. And while it wasn't a part of the recall, it's still a piece of crap :cry:

My dad is giving me his old Toyota (it's a safe one) as soon as I get my license. Only 10 more nighttime hours before I can take my test. He can't wait to give me that car so he can go buy himself a new one.

I for one can't drive for at least another year and a half. Almost two years in the driving laws here in Ohio are changed to 16 1/2 instead of 16. Another downer is that I am one of the youngest kids in my grade so I won't be driving when everyone else is. My parents said that once my sister goes away to college I get "the privilege to drive" the Mazda until I go to college. *sigh* What a good day that will be.

The only car I actually own is a 1970 Chevrolet Camaro, however I can't really drive around in the winter, so I use my father's truck to get around then. I'm personally not a huge fan of driving, but I do need it to get to work.

My parents bought about a year ago a black Suzuki Swift for me to learn to drive in, & it's cheap on fuel these days. We even gave it a nickname, 'Blift' for short lol

No, I can't afford groceries so there's no way in hell I can afford a vehicle. Kinda pisses me off when I see parents buy their kids cars.... bleh. When I finally can afford a vehicle, I'll be getting a Harley.

I don't have my own vehicle yet. I know how to drive (hopefully acquiring my license in July), but the only wheels I have are my mountain bike. If I need to go somewhere and can't catch a ride with someone else (buses and taxis aren't an option in my town), I'll ride my bike or walk. I suppose it is somewhat of a good thing, on two counts. The first is that automobile accidents are the #1 cause of death for persons between the ages of 16 and 24 years old and because it is much better for you to be riding a bike or walking than it is to be driving, health wise at least, and so I'm not always disappointed that I do not have a car.

It's an awful lot cheaper too.

Driving actually makes me nervous. I know how to drive, but I have yet to actually get even a permit. I think walking is just as sufficient, it's healthier and safer. For short distances, I either take my bicycle, or walk.

Having too many wicked drivers in my family has me a little traumatized as far as driving is concerned ;)

I have an 05 Chevy Impala I just got, and as someone else said here, it's my pride and joy. I've had cars before it and they were barely able to pass inspection (that 92 Grand Am made me feel like I was in a racecar everytime though! Awesome..). My Impala is my baby though and I love it. And it's a pretty violet-blue color, and as we all know, color is clearly the most important factor in a car.
