    Awww yeah. -Vroom vroom, other car noises and such.-

    Do you drive? If so, what do you drive? (Feel free to provide images of your sweet rides.)
    Also, are you a slow and cautious driver, or do you have a brick for a foot with a little road rage burning deep within?
     
    I drive a Ford Taurus, which I share with my dad. I'm more of a relaxed driver than anything, so much so that I don't even sit the way most people sit when they're driving - kind of this L thing going on. Even if someone cuts me off or anything like that, I tend to just shrug it off. The only time I ever get angry is when someone is tailgating me, but when that happens I always just end up going slower just to piss them off since they're obviously in a hurry trying to get somewhere to be up my ass. But I'm also extremely cautious when I'm at stop signs, and I'm driving past someone looking to turn, because I don't trust them to turn when they should and so I generally worry about getting into an accident that way.

    I do not drive because I dont have a drivers liscence. I have a fear of driving, because Im really afraid of being in a car crash. I tried to learn how to drive but just got too scared and couldnt continue learning. I might have to get over this and learn though because not being able to drive is a pain. If I did drive I would be a careful driver though.
     
    I just got my permit recently, so I drive a little bit with my parents. I get wicked annoyed with other drivers cause they drive like maniacs and I'm like the most cautious driver there is, lol. Which might just be cause I'm new to driving and I'm still kinda scared.

    I don't have my own car yet, of course, but I'm saving for one. Right now I just have to use my parents car, it's some sort of tiny Japanese car. And I don't like it. xD When I get a car, I want a Buick or a Cadillac or something. Which will probably be pretty expensive..
     
    [SIZE="a"]I don't drive yet cause I haven't gotten a permit.

    I think I have my mom's fear of driving so I may never drive.[/SIZE]
     
    I had a Mustang in high school, but got rid of it shortly after graduation cause I stopped using it. I was a pretty reckless driver, mostly cause I absolutely hate driving. I don't drive anymore, though, mostly just take the train.
     
    I have driven some, but not recently since the car I drive (2000 Buick LeSabre) was recently taken off the road by my parents so they wouldn't have to pay registration and insurance on two vehicles and they don't want me driving their other vehicle (2008 Chevy pickup). And I really don't want to drive it, either. I've never liked the ways trucks handled as opposed to cars. I drove a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee before the folks got the Buick and I was always afraid I was gonna roll it over.

    First car I ever drove was an '86 Taurus wagon, if you're curious. That actually wasn't a bad car and it had one of those cool digital speedometers :P

    I might want to take the '00 LeSabre once I get a job and can afford to put it back on the road, but it's a bit smaller than what I want and I might want to spring for something bigger, like a Buick Roadmaster or Oldsmobile Ninety Eight.

    And I'm definitely in the "slow and cautions" driver category.
     
    I've been driving for....roughly a year and a half now. I drive a '92 Honda Accord. It's short, and sometimes I'm driving a clown car. lol

    I sometimes drive a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500, which belongs to my mom. I adore trucks. I wish to own a GMC myself someday...but bigger than my mom's. xD

    I am a very cautious driver. Like...I'm such a goody-goody when it comes to obeying traffic laws and speed limits. Haven't had a single ticket yet. xD /jinxed
     
    Even though I'm at the legal age of driving, I don't actually drive a car, even though my uncle taught me how to drive twice (once when I was 14 and again when I was 17).
     
    I have been driving for about 6 and a half years, having been licensed since July 2008, having had my driving permit since November 2005 before then. I usually drive a 1998 Ford Windstar (188,000 miles!), though I sometimes drive a 2003 Ford Escape or a 2002 Chevy Suburban. I like driving these vehicles, as they handle pretty well and are large enough to not be crushed by everything on the road. And they start every time I put the key in!

    I have my moments when I'm an aggressive driver, but I am much more passive than I used to be even a year ago. I am apparently a very skilled driver, or that's what people tell me anyway. I had a massive leadfoot for the first three years I was licensed, but otherwise was a skilled driver for having only been on the road for so few years.

    I actually first learned how to drive when I was 13, though. It was at my grandpa's cabin and I was driving on country roads in the very same Ford Windstar I usually drive now. My cousin who was with us (he was 15 at the time) said I was driving a heck of a lot better than his peers who were just starting out, since I actually wasn't starting and stopping all the time.

    I do drive, yes! I got my license nearly three years ago now, which makes it scary to think about just how fast life is moving lol.

    Here is my car - a green '95 Toyota Corolla (and that's all I know about it) all dressed up for Christmas XD

    I got my provisional last year, but, uh, haven't actually taken up any lessons yet. I'm intending to this year, though.
     
    I drive nearly everyday in a 2007 or 2008 Toyota Corolla. I'm a pretty angry driver. I drive pretty fast, can't stand when people drive the speed limit or slower, can't stand when people don't use their directional, or when people come to complete stops to take a turn when no other cars are coming. I drive around people a lot because I get pissed off and apparently I cut people off a lot, but I don't think so!
     
    I drive maybe once or twice a week, using my parents' Mercedes C. It's maybe 12 years old, belonged to the police for the first 1-2 years of its live (who rarely used it, and sold it for less than half of its original price, that was worth a trip all the way down to Stuttgart to buy it) and still running as fine as on the first day. I like driving as fast as possible, yet am a cautious driver and like the motor noise to be as quiet as possible.

    In a few months, I'll get my first own car, something of probably roughly the same age, maybe 2-3 years younger, and half the size. Won't be as fun to drive, but doing anything else would be nonsense.

    Hahahaha, Reindeer Car!


    I suppose i'll go ahead and give my answer.

    I got my driver's license when I was 17, which i'm actually surprised that I did since my mother was far too scared to let me drive.
    So lets see.... I've been driving 4-5 years, which one of those years I actually lost my license due to me being a jackass in high school.

    I originally drove a 1997 Kia Sephia passed down by my mother, picture (not my picture):

    Now I drive a 2007 Ford Escape. Picture (not my picture):

    I'm too lazy to get up and take a picture. D:
    Oh, and I tend to have a brick for a foot, but for the most part I follow the speed limit and am cautious on the road, especially in town. When it comes to back roads I go crazy though.
     
    I drove an 88 Jeep YJ until two years ago when it got sold so I could have money to go to college.

    Driving is expensive, especially when you drive a gas guzzler like that.

    Pictures are a fantastic idea!

    Here's my minivan sitting in snow from last winter. Still looks the same, save for the fact that the dent in the door was mostly fixed.

    This is kind of what the Ford Escape I sometimes drive looks like:

    I'm learning to drive rn, I've had 7 lessons and I'm driving "okay" on main roads at least and fine in residential areas. The main thing I need to get used to are changing into second gear soon after the green at the traffic lights and not stalling there as a result. ;x I'm just really afraid of going too slow and I know I can't press down on the accelerator when I'm pushing in the clutch to change the gear and it sorta slows down at that point and having that all on my mind makes me wanna let up the clutch fast AND YEAH. But otherwise I do okay imo. :3 My aunty gave me her car, I forgot what it is, but all the papers and stuff need to be signed etc for it to properly be mine.
     
    I've been driving for about three years now. I drive a little white 2003 Honda Civic. It's a decent little car. Good mileage, good handling, etc etc. The radio on it recently stopped working, so I get the super huge joy of jamming out to the sound of my tires rolling on the highway all the time. Other than that it's a nice car. I don't mind driving at all. It's a little relaxing. Plus, I live out in the country area of my town, so I have to drive everywhere because everything is more than six miles away from us.
     
    I can't drive...although my age does allow me to drive a bit, being 15 years old and all. I prefer not to however. I was told I was going to get a truck once I start driving though.
