A 2007 Kia Sportage. I call it my "dog car." Traded a 4WD six-speed Toyota Tacoma Access cab for it. Now I miss my truck, but being on a pension isn't conducive to car buying.  :'(

When the ex stole my 2001 Nisan Xterra (long, sad story) I treated myself to a gently used 2002 BMW 325i.  I LOVE that car! and the GF loves it too so that makes it even better.

Here is what we drive. The orange one is a 2012 crush clear Sahara Unlimited. The black one is a 1992 YJ and then there's the Saturn...

OK, I'll bite ... what's the "rest of the story" about the black one?

It's not that heavily modified or anything just a few small smart mods. 3 inches of lift to start so the 31X10.5 all terrain tires don't rub. Then I fabricated and installed my own buggy springs in the rear. That's it. In this picture my right front tire is about 2 feet off the ground.

2005 Mazda 3 s - "Winning Blue". Been my daily driver since I bought it new in Sept. 2005. Zero major issues. I'll most likely drive it into the ground. I was gonna trade it in for something new for my wife and the baby, but 2 accidents in the last year and a half (thankfully neither of which was my fault) have left it worth less than it should be.
I'm very happy with it. Gas mileage could be better, but that's a minor complaint. Been meaning to replace the stock stereo, as I'd kill for an aux input, but I haven't had the extra funds or time to spend on the upgrade. Soon enough, though...

I love my Dodge Dakota:



I've done a lot of things to this truck from minor to major.  It was funny because I found one in a parking lot the other day with identical factory features.  Literally identical meaning down to even the specific font used in the design on the decals.  It was fun looking at it because it was like a time capsule and showed off stuff I had changed and forgot about.  Most of the big changes are inside the cab where I've touched just about everything and some things I even reshaped with bondo and fiberglass resin.

I just recently bought a 2001 Ford Courier XLT with a swag of extras. Today I took it bush for a play in the mud and must say, I am really glad I finally got myself a 4x4 and cannot wait to get out there and play some more!  >:D



This is is a picture of it. Next to it is my old Lancer, and in the background is my Dad's Nissan Patrol.

Can any of you drive with the stick?
Learned to drive a stick, Austin Healey, also a VW Beetle with a stick.  My Father's Jeep was stick too.  Yes, lots of us
"Colonials" can drive with a stick.  Only problem I have had with a stick shift has been driving in the UK with the damn thing on the wrong side so I had to do it left handed! ;D  But "wrong" side also was an issue with the Norton motorcycle or so I've been told--I had a Triumph as my first motorcycle.

You Americans don't half drive some gigantic cars! Lol. Can any of you drive with the stick? That is all we have here.

Blanket statements are rarely accurate, BBCMark.
I drive a 1994 Toyota 4Runner, SR5 V-6, 212k miles on it...5 Speed, manual transmission.
Does it lack certain ammenities? Yes.
Do I love it? Yes.
Is it in pristine condition? Yes.
Is it paid for? Yes.
Do I plan to keep it for a long, long time? Yes

Does the Lovely Mrs. Schro have a new Chevrolet Traverse with all the bells & whistles? Yes.

FYI, she can also drive a stick (any sexual innuendos relating to TLMS are not recommended).
