What does a Diva drive?

[volklgirl]

Everyday wheels:

2000 GMC Safari AWD (I never thought I'd be old enough to drive a mini van ) But, we can put at least 7 prs of skis, all the blades, and the snowboards in there and still have room for 8 people! Of course, in the summer, that's 4 bikes on the rack, at least 2 bikes inside, and room for 8 people (or 6 people and gear ).

My Baby:

1978 Porsche 924. My dream car when it's running :( . They're notorious for electrical problems.....I've had nothing but for the 11 years I've owned it . Yes, it's a stick shift!!

Hubby's Baby:

1984 Pontiac Fiero. Our most dependable vehicle. Has never failed us. Sucks big time in the snow, though. Desperately needs a paint job and is a pig stye inside - cuz that's just the way he is.

I've got a 2006 Honda Pilot. I'm getting used to it and am really starting to like it. I was kind of "forced" into buying something last year when my mini van got stolen right out of my driveway! It happenned just a couple weeks after we moved to Florida. Here was my husband in Iraq, and my son and myself up to our eyeballs in boxes and trying to get moved into our new house. I didn't even know my car was gone until I walked outside one morning to drive my son to school and--no car. Down the street was on old clunker with all the doors open and lights on with a police car parked behind recording information on it. Seems the "clunker" was also a stolen car that some kids had stolen but it wasn't driving well so they decided to trade for mine. Lucky me.

When they found it it was a wreck. Had obviously been used for a night of partying and smoking dope and run into a ditch.

BUMMER. Believe it or not--I really liked my mini van. Could carry tons of "stuff" and people in it. But now--I'm loving my Pilot too.

I went to a Subaru Baja from a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I loved the Cherokee and would have bought another, but when I wore it out and it was time for a new vehicle, gas prices were a factor. I live in a rural area, and have to travel to get to anything. The main road drifts a lot, so I needed something that would plow through the snow and get me up the mt. I cut my gas consumption in half, and I get through the snow just fine. It has been a good vehicle for me. As to a dream vehicle, I don't have any particular brand in mind, but would probably get a sports car convertable.

I drive a Jeep Liberty, which I love. I bought it two years ago specifically for skiing! I used to own an old (before BMW) mini, but eventually it died! I was so upset that I cried.

What does a ski diva drive??? How about a MINI Cooper? My MINI is named Eddie and I just love to drive him every day! He's little, cute, and quick and blue!- But seriously, I love my MINI.

And Guess what!!! My vanity plate came in the mail today! Now my MINI Cooper can be seen driving about with a Pennsylvania liscense plate that reads "Ski Diva"! :D I am so, very happy and the real Ski Diva is so very jealous - aren't you Wendy? ;)

Maybe I will post a picture soon.

Yes, yes -- it's perfectly fine that you have SKI DIVA as your license plate. Oh, yes. It's fine. I'm not jealous at all. No sireee. Not all all. Uh-uh. Not a jealous bone in my body.

ARRRRRGH!!!!!!!

I guess if someone has to have it in PA, I'm glad it's you. Do it proud.

And besides, I have SKILIFT as my plate -- which I know Phil wanted. So I guess we're even. :D

 

[SnowHot]

Lola I'm sooooooooooooo excited for you. I almost applied for SkiDiva in Michigan, but, since my husband drives my Jeep on a regular basis, I didn't think he'd appreciate the sentiment.

Wendy. Move to michigan, SkiDiva is still available!:D

Still waiting for the official "unveiling" of the SKIDIVA.

How does eddie feel about being plated "SKIDIVA"?

We had to charge the battery in the camera, which is now done, so maybe Phil will take a photo of us this morning.

Eddie - just loves being a Ski Diva. Eddie is named after my favorite British comedian, Eddie Izzard - who happens to be a transvestite. Eddie Izzard is brilliantly funny. If you haven't seen any of his stand-up comedy DVD's you should. So needless to say, dressing up with a woman's label is just so him! I just have to make sure I don't catch him climbing trees and putting on make-up. :D

I absolutely love Eddie too! That's why I named my car after him. He is one of the most intelligent comics out there today. Here's to Eddie - Caio!

Here is (left to right) Me, Eddie AKA "The cross dressing Mini, Ski Diva" and Lil. Three generations of Divas.

 

[SnowHot]

Awe , Eddie looks so "right" donning SkiDiva.
One Question:
Where's the snow?

 

[ski diva]

Looks great!

(But I'm still jealous!) :D

 

[HotChocolate]

Not only do you ladies have a ski quiver but a car quiver too! Hmmmm.....

I drive a Saab-93, love that little turbo button vroooooom!!!!

 

[Quiver Queen]

Audi A4 Quattro Avant--the best ski car (and whitewater car and camping car and cruising car and blowing-the-doors-off-the-jerks car) ever invented but never (hear me, never) drive it in the snow with your expensive summer Z-rated race tires! Put a good set of winter wheels on it & weather never gets in the way, which is exactly why I bought it.

Dream car? My husband talks about it so much I see it in my dreams--Porsche Turbo Carrera.

 

[Margaritamarcia]

Car (Bostonese = Cah)

I drive a Saab 2006 9-3. We do use a Thule box if 4 of us drive up, but usually we just flip down one of the rear seats and slide the skis through. It is great in snow, decent mileage and quite comfortable and sporty. We have a 1996 Miata for summer, Fall, Spring fun. It is a gas! You just think of turning and there you are. It is my husbabd's toy in that he has "tricked it out" to a reasonable degree. Our dream car would be a Porsche 911 (of any color). We figure we will be able to afford one just when we will not be able to get out of it.

Oh well, I'm not complaining. Good equipment, great car, better husband, pretty fantastic kids.....all my parts. Life is good.
