It’s been a crazy week – I can’t believe it’s only Wednesday! We just sold our Mitsubishi Mirage and are working on purchasing another vehicle. I’ve been doing lots of research on compact cars – my favorite kind! – and a certain Scion XA stole my heart. :) Isn’t it cute? It’s like a toy car, only ours is going to be in red. It’s clearly the only color we’re allowed to have seeing how all our previous vehicles were red.
I wish more cars were made in cute colors. Scion XA, for instance, only comes in boring shades of black, silver, white and red. What’s worse, cars are not easily customizable – huge annoyance to a DIY nut like me. ;) Why can’t they make a car in rainbow finish, with yellow plastic interior and iridescent mirrors? Or a pale lavender car with power blue polka dots all over and bright white rims? Heck, I’d even cave in and take a white & cream striped Mini Cooper…
Deerlings: what kind of a car do you drive? What is your dream car?
P.S. I got recently interviewed by the Creepy Queen Magazine.
I drive a Toyota Sonata but I would absolutely LOVE to own a Nissan Cube.
I drive a peugeot 306, but my dream car is a mini cooper!! ♥
I drive a Toyota Yaris, and I think it has turned into my dream car (if my dreams are to be at all realistic). It is the cutest little thing, and so easy to drive and see out of (considering my 5’2″ stature, being able to comfortably reach the pedals and see over the steering wheel at the same time is an incredibly important bonus). Mine is in a color called Absolutely Red, and every red pales in comparison. It is amazingly fantastic.
I drive.. and this is so ghetto.. a Chevy Malibu.. 2001.
Upsides: runs fantastic, was bought outright in money order, a/c works (a must in Arizona!), great gas mileage.
Downsides: no radio/CD, steering wheel is cracked at spots (damn Arizona sun!), sun screening in the windows is peeling and I can’t afford to fix it.
I don’t drive. I’m one of the few people in Los Angeles who doesn’t ^-^ But that car looks totally cute!
I’m one of those crazy people who doesn’t like cars and travels by public transportation, or walking.
I must admit to being somewhat of a car nut. I’m one of likely a handful of chicks that is obsessed with Top Gear. I currently drive a Ford Focus ZX3 – 2001 with 165,000miles on it
It’s a great little thing, but what I’d really like to be driving is a Jaguar XJ220. Makes me all wibbly just thinking about it!
Check it out on Top Gear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGHJ917zGC0
I’m having a white BMW 3 Series once I pass my driving test – deliciously retro!
Lots of people in my area don’t have enough money for car insurance or driving lessons (the UK route to a full license is ridiculously expensive) so I’m glad to be lucky enough to have a car in the future.
Ohhh, haha oddly enough, I always wondered what kind of car you drove! I can totally see you in that car! You should get it pink pink instead though ;];].
I have a crappyish ford escort ZX2
right now, although I’ve been shopping around. My current dream car is a 4 door jeep rubicon in metallic green.
and I adooore my boyfriends Mazda Rx8, I wouldn’t mind one of those either ;].
But I think my ultimate dream car is actually the one sitting in my garage right now! It’s half finished and my dream is to well, finish it! It’s a 1963 Ford Fairlane, gorrgeous retro red and white vinyl seats, complete with the big fins on the back of the car!
Currently I drive a beat up 2000 Acura with 170,000 miles on it. Still runs great so no worries. Hopefully after I’m out of college and have a steady job and all that important stuff I’ll get a 1970 Dodge Charger :D ’tis my dream car… it’ll be painted black and have a burgundy leather interior and a super duper Hemi engine! My grandpa’s younger brother has one and omg it’s perfection!
My dream car is the MiniCooper. In blue with white racing stripes, a white roof and white side-mirrors. Adorably cute AND a fun ride!
I drive a red Chevy Malibu Classic, 2005. I bought it (with hood damage) because it had a functional a/c (live in AZ), and a radio. Previous car was a 1993 Saturn Crapass with no air. (sold it to my boyfriend, and someone hit him and wrecked it. He got more than double what he paid me for it, was not happy)
My dream car is a 2005 or newer Volkswagen Rabbit, preferably in a Black Cherry or a Sky Blue (not that it necessarily comes in that color, but a girl can dream). Either that or a dark pink or sky blue Volkswagen Beetle. VW love!
I drive a silver Saturn Ion but if I could drive anything it would be a 749 Ducati or a Plymouth Prowler :)
I drive a 1996 chevy caviler but it’s slowly dying and my dream car in the present is a mini cooper or a smart car, something eco-friendly and in the future a futuristic steampunk electric car xD
I have a (broken down now, sad sad) Geo Metro. They’re the best. Tiny little two door hatch back that goes on FOREVER on the inside and gets like… 45-50 MPG in the city. CRAZY. Mine’s purple, I’m so sad that it’s dead now. Gotta get a new car, ack. >.<
Oh and my dream car would be a newer (newest is 2001) Geo Metro, manual, in purple. With YELLOW insides! Not that they make it, but it’d be pretty.
I drive a white Scion XD and I LOVE it! Seriously the best car! It’s so cute and it came with an Ipod adaptor, a huge plus is my book!
We have a Honda CR-V (family of 4) but I love the Scion line. My hubby used to work at a Scion/Honda/Toyota dealership, and I love the way the Scions handle, and the environmental aspects of course!! Great choice!!
I drive a turquoise 2001 Volvo S40 that was a hand-me-down gift from my uncle, but the Volvo parts and repairs are so expensive I can barely afford it. The new Honda Insight in Clear Sky Blue has me wanting… Might take advantage of these ridiculous lousy-economy deals and swap out for a new lease.
If I had a purple Thunderbird or Cadillac (vintage of course) I would totally learn to drive, otherwise, I’m rather content with public transportation!
Turquoise would work as well : )
I drive a 2006 Chevy Cobalt. I hate that car so much!
I wish I had something with better gas mileage…More room inside maybe.
I drove a Scion XA for 4 years and loved it until I was in an accident this past May and my insurance company declared it a total loss :( It really was my dream car: I loved the color (Burgandy), it’s small size & cute shape, and the fact that it was very fuel efficient. When I was forced to buy a new car, I knew that I wouldn’t find something I liked as much as is did my Scion. If I could have bought another XA I would have, but unfortunately they have discontinued the model. I ended up getting a white Chevy Aveo since it was reasonably priced and felt the closest to an XA that I could find. But I agree, I wish more car colors would be made available. I would enjoy my Aveo a lot more if I could have gotten it in purple.
I drive a Toyota Yaris 2007 in red. I like it, it’s little and it’s looks like a little shoe n_n.
I wish I had a refurbished 1967 Ford Mustang, in red please!
I drive an ’08 scion xB. It’s in the same color as what you have shown. The only thing that I don’t like about it is that it is a 5 speed. An automatic would have been nice, but it was an impulse buy for my dad, who made it a gift for me- so really, I can’t complain.
I’m a Mini Cooper or Beatle kind of girl. But I wouldn’t mind a totally decked out car from the lat 90s. Total bogan pride cars.
I’m 16 and STILL don’t even have my permit yet. I took the test three times and failed every one lol. If I ever get it there’s a Fore Taurus with my name on it from my dad, but I’d like to have a purple Prius with that metallic color-changey sheen over that so it looks all cool. And baby blue interior. Good MPG and eco-friendly is good.
Nissan Cube FTW!! >:D
But I really wanna drive a Nissan 350 Z. D:
Too bad the new 370′s are terrible! They stole Mazda and Porsches bad design! D:
Oh the indignity of it! D:
(I’m a HUGE car fan. : D)
I drive one of the Tinyest Cars out there in my opinion. A 1993 Suzuki Side kick,nicknamed HELLOZUKI Its black, with a bright pink soft top and white 24 inch rims. The whole inside of the car is Gray, pink, white and Black. My seatcovers and stearing wheel cover are Hello kitty and my boyfriend cumstom made a spare tire cover with hello kitty on it for my birthday I even have pink led lights under my seats and dashboard! My boyfriends a huge car buff and Has a Red 2002 focus 7X3 with a huge star wars rebel symbol sticker on the back and a licence plate that says RedLder [Red Leader]. I think cars are by far the most customize things out there, You an basically do WHATEVER you want to them if your willing to fork over the money and a whole lot of elbow grease! You can get the car painted any color you want, and the same with rims! I saw a cuz who had a Truck painted blue with a purple sheen that had sparkels and GLITTER painted on to it under the top coat!
I drive a boring silver Honda Civic from the nineties. I’m not actually particularly interested in owning a car at all. what I really want is a scooter, specifically, this cute little thing: http://genuinescooters.com/images/scooterpages/buddy/green_buddy.jpg
but I still need to get a motorcycle license for that. =[
I drive an ’07 Honda Fit! I love it, it’s way smaller than my old car, a Ford Mustang, but soooo much more spacious! I can fit so much more stuff in this car and people can get in and out of the back easier with the back doors and roomy seats. I have a black pearl one but now they make it in blackberry pearl. Purple! My favorite color! I have a few stickers on the windows of mine plus a Haunted Mansion license plate on the front.
I can’t drive yet, but when I do I think I want a sunshiney yellow bug convertable… or maybe a bright red mini cooper… they are so cute!
Although, I do really like the shocking hot pink pickup sitting outside of a car lot in town…. I think I would take that if I were to get a pickup! Too bad it’s not for sale… :(
We have a Mitsubishi Mirage now. It’s a tiny 2 door with a 1300cc motor! Pretty wussy but cheap to run. I don’t drive yet though.
I would love an old Ford Escort but with the new mod cons.
I don’t drive :P
You can always buy custom car vinyls. infectious.com has some really nice ones as far as I know :)
I drive a Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged (Without the big tall wing, it has the same wing as all the other Cobalts).. I love it but Im moving to Germany and I want a smaller car.. Im probably gonna get a Mini Cooper S but my dream car is an Audi TT!! I love them<3
I finally got to order some of your shadows and Im in love.. I knew I would like them but the are really amazing and I cant wait to get more..
I don’t drive (I’m planning on starting my lessons soon though!), but I love Mini Coopers. Especially in red; they’re so cute!
There used to be a van around my neighbourhood (in Flushing) whose owners gave it DIY paint jobs. I think they used spray paint or something because there would be dried paint drips running down the windows. And the colours were all muddy and crazy looking, so my friends and I would just kind of laugh at it. Then one day it was covered in gold glitter. It was amazing. I don’t see it around anymore though ):
I drive a 2008 Nissan Rogue, the color is called Iridium Graphite, but it is kind of like a “Mood Car”… the color looks different from different angles and light. Sometimes it is purple, root beer, brown, silver and sparkly. Anyway, I love her and her name is Marie.
heh, i don’t know too much about cars, but i do know my dream car would be a viper. they are reallly good looking cars! and i agree with the colors! i saw this one car near the place i work, and it was a chameleon! you would love it. it was purple and blue and pink, and the best car i have ever seen because of the color. kinda looks just like your background on your blog! but yes that would be my dream car. i dont have a car right now though. my parents just can’t do that right now for me with money and everything. so i just use everyone elses car in the household, which i’m sure gets on their nerves, hah. the car your looking at is cute too!
I currently drive a 2000 Mitsubishi Lancer. When i earn enough money to make my car a fashion statement, i would love to get a car from the 50′s or 60′s. Cars were just so much prettier then!
I totally agree about the colour thing. There’s an ad on tv here in Australia that has this car and it’s actually quite a cool purple-ey colour and in small print down the bottom it says “colour and model not available in Australia.” Then what’s the point of the ad???
i honestly don’t care about cars. i drive a totally beat up old honda accord. i was driving a much nicer and newer scion xa actually not that long ago. until a mini barreled through a red light and hit me. =( that was about a month ago. sigh.
anyway, i do think smart cars are adorable. super tiny and easy to park, especially good for cities. oh, and i saw one around here that was painted green and lavender and had polka dots. a really nice professional paint job too…almost looked like it have come from the factory that way…
I don’t drive… But I do own an 88 Firebird. It’s my dream car! It’s currently cherry red but I plan on painting it a really dark purple… So dark it looks black with a purple shimmer.
my dad got me a 1984 oldsmoble its in really good condition and he even spruced it up and is putting in a great sound system for me. i named it gary, hes gray and cute. and i have loads of stuff i want to customize him with =D
lol talk about appropriate timing. I’m looking into purchasing my first car. I did have an issue myself with the lack of unique colors. So I’m planning to paint a unique pheonix on it. :) My dream car would be a sports car. :P
This past January, I bought a Toyota Prius. I didn’t get my choice of color, so it’s an icky beige color, but the car itself is just so adorable, it more than makes up for it. And who doesn’t like getting 50 miles per gallon!
I drive a Mitsubishi Lancer. Now I love the car but I HATE the color (white). I had a blue Lancer that I LOVED SOOO much but a guy ran a red light when I got out of work last year and totaled it when I was 1 month away from paying it off. =( I miss it and even though the white one is a newer model, the old one (“Ella” as I fondly called her because it means pretty) had more amenities such as a automated key lock/unlock sensor.
oh and my dream car is a Mini Cooper too, convertible ; blue with black pin striping .
I TOO, drive a scion xA (2004 model)! Mine’s polar white and I adore it – I know you will too. It’s a comfy little ride and I’ve NEVER had any problems w/ it ;)
Funny you should mention Creepy Queen because I had never heard of her until the other day when my keyhole magnet was one of the featured items on her website! http://creepyqueen.webs.com/apps/blog/show/1307059-douse-the-house-
Congrats on the new ride!
I have a Red Nissan Micra. It´s so cute and perfect for me because I live in city center (Madrid), street are very narrow and it´s really dificult to park.
I call it “pelotilla”. It mean in spanish something like a little ball
I don’t drive yet, I’ve got my eye on a VW Fox ’cause they’re pretty cheap, and essentially it’s just a small Golf which is good and reliable. It is a pretty cute car, but not too girly. I hate when a car is aimed at women, so in the brochures they don’t talk about engine size, and technical aspects… they’re more concerned with the interiors and ‘fun colours!’. Although I think it’d be pretty cool to reupholster a car in cute fabric…
I really like the Nissan Figaro http://www.luxcars.ch/images/1719_nissan_figaro.jpg because it looks like a vintage car, but isn’t. They should do more of those! I love the look of them but I’d be scared that the safety wouldn’t be as good, and I’m really not interested in anything without power steering. Shame this only comes in Automatic, no good for living in good old England.

My dream car is to HAVE a car! I’m 19 and can’t drive in a city where you need to drive (it’s too hot to walk). So my mom still drives me places.
Right now anything with A/C, clean seats, working engine and good gas milage would sufice. But a dream car? hmm..I used to want a green VW bug so bad. I ended up getting a yellow one…for barbies. I’d love a VW van from the 60′s or 70′s just to be a crazy hippie but my parents say they don’t have a/c. I love old cars.
I drive a new Nissan Micra as does someone else above (go team Micra) – one of the new ones that echo the old punchbuggies with a slightly sleeker form…and they come in a rainbow of colours.
