Cars / trucks owned by forum members
« on: July 17, 2015, 03:39:52 pm »
I think it would be interesting if we could do some sort of survey of forum members to see what cars they drive. And then consolidate the information. Finally we could answer questions like:

1. How may drive sedans vs. CUVs?
2. How many drive standard, RWD, AWD?
3. Wagon owners as a % of car owners

Could be insightful. Thoughts?
I love it when a plan comes together.

Yeah and it has to have 200hp at least. And be under 30k. And soft touch plastic dash with well integrated Nav screen.

But good idea nonetheless.... I'd just be curious to see out demographics.

Why not? We can have a "currently does not own car / truck" category. You're likely not the only one...

Wellll.... can probably say I don't own anything - the Crosstrek is technically my wife's ride,  but.. I'm paying for it, so, uh - yeah.

So what exactly are the specifics you want to know? Manufacturer, type of vehicle, driven wheels, transmission type??

Oh I'm well aware of the banter and I guess there could be a sub category of "never actually owned a car before"

Well, whatever we think would be interesting, but yes that type of stuff.

You should start a poll about that question.

80% of the people reading this probably never read their owners manual and could care less.
