I commute 25,000 miles a year and put on another 10,000 miles a year going places so my daily drive is a 2006 Chevy Cobalt with 161,000 miles.  I bought it used about five years ago with only 6,000 miles on it.  I plan on driving it until one of us dies!

I also have a 2007 Miata Retractable hardtop.  I have always owned a convertible - those hardtop cars are just a passing fad.  They will never catch on!  When I finally get to talke the Miata out of storage I am afraid that I will regret going sly.  I have always loved the feeling of the wind tearing through my flattop!

I also just purchased a 2003 100th anniversary edition Harley Davidson Road King Classic.  I won't ride it until I have taken the rider safety course.

I just  picked up a Black 1972 Ford F100 Ranger XLT. The previous owner was a bit of an autorat so the engine (Edelbrock 302 V8) and transmission are less than a year old!

It's got a little rust at the bottom corner of the doors, but clean otherwise. It's the "styleside" short bed package. I'm planning to redo the interior as I'm able and it's missing the molding down the sides, but that's all stuff that be done as time/money allows.

It's nice to have something that I can work on at home, without needing to hook it up to a computer to repair.

'66 Buick Skylark GS. Original 401 Nailhead. This is one fun car to drive. Lot of work still to be done but certainly well on its way.

Nice truck, Vash.


jascra, that Buick is cool too.  My cousin has a 66 Buick Special that looks a lot like that.

This is the most recent with most of the trim added to it. Love the way these old cars just glide down the highway.

Nice Stang. Was close to getting a '67 when I found my GS. The original motor really sold me and these older straight body lines look better than the rounded late 60's early 70's style.

I have the 2.5 5cyl turbo... it is a bit.... slow. The newer 6cyl is better.

240 vs 208 HP both have 236 ft/lb of torque, just at different RPMs.

Don't have other stats.

2001 Mitsubishi Magna (Diamante in US), Champagne, 3.5L V6, 163k miles
2005 Toyota Camry, Light Green Metallic, 2.4L 4-cyl, 76k miles
1999 Nissan Pulsar, White, 1.6L 4-cyl,116k miles



The Magna is my preferred drive having modified it from stock over a couple of years and 75,000 miles, but have recently handed the keys to my wife in favour of the Camry due to the lower mileage.
The Pulsar is my wife's old car which we keep as a backup.
