Hey everyone!
The car community on Lemmy isn’t the most active and I thought it would be nice to list the cars of its members.
Here is my list:
Present: Seat Leon Cupra 300 St 4 drive
Past: Audi S4 B6 Avant manual, Seat Ibiza Cupra
I was really happy with the 4.2 liters V8 in my S4, but the Cupra gives me more performance, more practicality and is cheaper to run. Would have loved a manual version if you could get it with fake AWD.
I plan on keeping the Leon Cupra for another 10 years before switching to an EV Estate if they appear one day.
What’s your list?
Current: 90 4Runner (running), 00 Malibu (not running)
Previous: 73 240z, 88 RX-7, 89 Golf Wolfsburg Edition, 89 CRX Si, 87 Civic sedan, 88 Civic sedan, 96 Civic hatch.
I want another 240z and an FD RX-7.
Good taste. The FD is the most beautiful car ever made but it sucks to maintain. I have a friend who has had every gen RX7 and he complains about the FD constantly.
Yeah, sounds similar to what I’ve heard. Like you said though, they are absolutely beautiful. Even if I barely drove it, it would make me soooo happy to just see it in the driveway every day.
Oh for sure. I drive an NA Miata, which is like a smaller, cheaper copy of the same design, especially with a hard top. Mazda doing good work in the late 90s.
1st car -Chevy Corsica (total junk but I loved it) 2nd car - Toyota Matrix (OK) 3rd car - Subaru WRX (love it)
1968 Ford Galaxie 500 2dr
Only car I’ve owned, only car I’ve needed.
Used to have a Ferrari but I’m old and getting in and out has become too much of a hassle. Currently, some Bentley I believe. Whatever the chauffeur suggested. I’m not much of a car guy.
1973 Chevy Vega
1978 Dodge Aspen
1982 Honda Accord
1990 Acura Integra
1999 BMW 323i
2007 MINI Cooper S
2013 MINI Cooper Countryman
2018 Tesla Model 3My first car was a Golf 3 Cabrio then a BMW 316ti E46 Compact and lastly a leased modern Audi A3.
After I gave my last car back I haven’t bothered with one and don’t have one since 2022.
Model year ascending:
1989 Volvo 240
1995 Toyota Camry
2001 Subaru Forester
2001 Toyota Echo (MT)
2001 Honda Insight (MT) 2010 Hyundai Accent
2014 Ford Fiesta (MT)
2016 Hyundai Veloster (MT)My ford did me real dirty (blown head gasket@51,988 miles) so I decided to start learning more than basics. The Subaru is my current daily driver, but the past couple weeks have been so stupid cold that I’m starting to think there’s ice in my tank, or the fuel pump is going out, or one of the old fuel hoses has cracked. AT hoses got all fucky last winter so they got swapped. Frickin cold hoses man.
Great question!
I currently drive a 2014 Corvette with a few track mods.
370z (amazing steering)
Acura MDX
Honda Odyssey
Toyota Camry
Pontiac 6000
Saab 900 (with a turbo but no label)
Mitsubishi Eclipse (2nd Gen)
Toyota Tercel
Plymouth Valarie
Bike
What kinda bike tho
Used 10 speed with no brakes. Almost killed me once. 0-10 would not recommend.
No make or model? Just some steel tubing taped together?
Lol pretty much. It barely had paint on it and I’m not entirely sure my Dad didn’t take it off of someone’s porch.
Nice
I currently drive a 2006 rav4, 2002 sequoia, and a 2023 hyundai kona.
All at the same time?
My first car was a 2004 Outback. Good riddance, it was a mechanical clusterfuck.
Currently I still have:
- 1991 Honda Accord, my solid daily
- 1977 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, the summer weekend boat (yea I’m a bit block cadillac guy lol). 425 cubic inches of Fuck OPEC.
On the back burner are a couple others.
- 1999 Subaru Forester, 5spd manual. Originally my high school daily. I lifted this one 2" and drove it in the gambler 500 a few times, it’s transmission sounds like a blender and is blowing up so I parked it until I get a chance to swap a new 5spd in - which is hard because they’re hard to find these days.
- 2000 VW Golf TDI, 5spd manual. Got it for free, snapped timing belt at 300k. This was going to become a highway daily but life got in the way and I never had the time or mental energy to really dig into it.
1999 Ford Crown Victoria
2015 Honda CR-Z EX
2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT
How happy are you about the Mach-E GT?
It’s a nice car. Scary to use more than half of the “go” pedal.
If I were buying again, I’d get the extended range RWD model instead.
Overall very happy, but I bought it used and let someone else take the $30k hit on 2 years of depreciation.
First car was/is my grandfathers 2001 Toyota Tundra, got it stock with 67k miles on it and it now has 297k it is not stock anymore… Supercharged, custom long travel suspension, 4wd conversion, dual battery, solar, onboard air, lots of other stuff. Trying to wrap up the engine management and digital dash setup now.
I then bought a new 2011 Mini Cooper S as a commuter car and drove that until 2019 when it finally became to unreliable.
I sold that car with 125k miles after doing a ton of repairs for my current dd.
2019 Subaru WRX Series Gray with 67k that I paid off last Friday. Mostly stock but I did install STI 4 piston brembos that I color matched to the paint.
I’d love to see some pictures of your tundra if you don’t mind sharing.
I’ve seen a few overland converted versions along with 4runners and they look sick AF!

The Honda Odyssey totally fucks! - Wade
Except for the ways that it does not.
Bad AC clutch? It can be replaced without taking the entire front end off the car, but you do not want to do that.
The worst thing, though, is the eco mode that shuts down one bank of cylinders. Makes the piston rings in that bank fail at 60K miles. They lost a class action on that for certain model years of the 3.5L V6, but they still make them with that mode. I used to be a fan of Honda, but I will avoid that engine at all costs.
I had no idea. My mother in law has that, she’s at 20k. Anything she can do to keep from having that issue?
My wife and I had an 03 that was great. The kids really shut up in it compared to the Toyota we had before it.
In fact, there is!
You need to install this. It’s an inline resistor system that goes in between a temp sensor and engine control computer. Word on the street is that the newer ECO/VCM 3.5L is “better” than the older ones, but I don’t believe it.
From what I can tell, the installation is pretty straightforward.
This one is another option.
Hell yeah, thank you! I’ll see if our technician feels comfortable with this.
