The clock in my car is really easy to change - press the hour button to change the hours, and the minute button to change the minutes - simple. Mine's not a new car either - it's a 2005 Kia Magentis (Optima) which has done less than 13,000 miles. It's the only car I have ever bought new.

I'm feeling a 'show us your car' thread coming... or possibly 'show us your dream car'...

This is my actual car, Lancia Y, since 6 years. (well ok, not really this in the pic, this is from google). Before it, I had a Mercedes A Class (always black) and it was my fave car...but too much expensive for gasoline, it drank a lot..the one before was a Volkswagen Polo, great car.
My husband has a Suzuki 4x4, perfect when we go on a mountain holiday or do travel (it's diesel and it's spacious, very comfortable).

I recently saw that Chevrolet is bringing out a new Corvette - 2019. It is supposed to be the hottest thing on wheels. Not on my wish list. I would not be able to get in or out without assistance.

We went to a Casino in Lake Charles, LA. Parked front and center was an amazing vehicle. You could see $$$$$ floating above it. We took a look - it was a very large sedan - luxuriously appointed. A Malbec - car not wine. :giggle: I looked it up. At the time the starting price was $400,000. :ohmy: Just a little out of my price range. The car had Texas tags. Take your pick - oil, real estate, cattle, lawyer.

Hotels frequently have a few spaces under the canopy for special clients to park. We were in Memphis, TN. We returned from dinner and saw a Lamborghini parked in one of those spaces. The engine is in the rear of the car. It had a Plexiglas cover. You could see the engine. I asked the Valet about the car. She said it belonged to a Doctor who liked to party in the area. When he had "too much" he would park his car, tip generously and take a cab home. Another car I would have trouble getting in and our of.

Hubby has a Yukon XL. He puts a lot of mileage on his vehicle and rarely keeps one longer than 3 years. He gets a heavy duty transmission and suspension so he can pull his boat. It is a very comfortable vehicle, especially for road trips. I like the adjustable lumbar support and the heated seat back. The back and seat are both heated and cooled. I never use the cool feature and use the heat only on the back. I use that summer and winter. I like driving it but it really is big.

I drive a 2002 Ford Taurus. I hate it. IDK about a "Dream Car" I have driven the Acadia and like it. Comfortable to both drive and ride in. Roomy without be huge. It is frustrating to have to wait for G to get home in order to pick up things that will not fit in my car. I would be happy with a pre owned Acadia that is three years old or less.
 
The cars and the odd 3 vans I have had over the years:

I haven't a clue as to what my dream car would be, although it would have to be big, fast, and comfortable, and definitely not an automatic. The only automatic I've ever had was the small Saab 3rd from end, and the only small cars I have ever driven were a Mini when I was 16, and the NSU Prinz 6th pic above.

We own a volcanic orange Mini, very comfortable and very economical fuel wise, it doesn't cost much to fill the tank and we don't have to fill it very often. This is similar to ours.

Mini! I've forgotten to mention it! I love Mini, especially Mini Countryman...

Love the MK1 Ford Capri - I had two a 1300 and a 3 litre. Great cars for the cool young dude back in the day :D But dream car has to be the E Type Jaguar described as the most beautiful car ever made by Enzo Ferrari himself and you can't argue with that.
