Still have my 1994 Toyota 4Runner (165k on it). Although the Lovely Mrs. Schro has been hinting about a new car (recently blew a head gasket...the 4Runner, not TLMS), she knows the cost associated with a new rig. It has more to do with a "do we keep putting more $ into it, or just get a new one"? I know we could probably get a great deal right now, given the economy, but that doesn't change the fact it's still a big expense to get a new car.
Our two cars have over 300k miles combined (AND BOTH ARE PAID FOR). Love them both and hope they keep a runnin' for a while. -

I have a 2003 GMC Sierra 4X4 which has, among other things, a 6.0 Liter (364 CID) crate engine and a Magnuson MP112 supercharger. Puts out about 450HP at the crank and gets around 16 MPG when I'm nice to it. (When I'm not nice, it will do 0 - 60 in 5.2 sec.
) It is my pet and I have no desire to trade or sell it. Probably couldn't get anything for it anyway.
However, to satisfy the tree-hugger in me, I just bought a 2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid that gets MPGs in the low 40's.
Yes, I am crazy!!

2000 F-350 crewcab and is paid for so there will be no tradeing or upgrading for me. i really enjoy not having a truck payment.
also i know reasons are diffrent for diffrent people, but no matter what fuel costs, you only live once and i ant missing anything because of high fuel prices.

Well my old Safari got ~15mpg,, full time AWD,, my "new" '96 Suburban gets pretty much the same,, the only problem is the Safari had a 25gallon tank,,, the "burb has a *gulp* 42gallon tank
Not at all planning on getting rid of it.

I have a beast ! its a 2002 chevy 3500 duelly 4wheel drive with a 502 BIG BLOCK BABY !its my daily drive except my bike and its all tricked out and a real head turner !
i considered selling it and going smaller , after considering the $$ loss, the extra insurance,then having to borrow or rent a truck when i NEED one ... it just wasnt worth it !

Call me crazy, but I just purchased a 2008 GMC Sierra. Got an awesome deal. Now is definitely the time to buy. My wife is looking at smaller, more fuel efficient cars, but I can't see driving anything but a truck.

I wouldn't want to know the outcome if I had been driving the PT rather than the Safari.

I own a 2004 GMC 2500 crew cab diesel truck. I will be keeping it because I need it to haul my camper and I do have a 1994 Plymouth Duster to drive when diesel fuel goes back up again.
