So, we have the thread of our dream cars, but what do you really drive??
Me, a black 2005 Jeep Wrangler, Rocky Mountain Edition... with my vanity plates "GOTLIME"
-
Nice!
I have a 2005 Storm Grey Pathfinder SE and a 1998 White Honda Civic. The civic is affectionately known as the "ghetto sled" because it's lowered and is completely modified underneat the hood. The thing is fast, but is about to get sold so that I can upgrade to something more "adult" like.
-
Momma has the soccer-mom grocery getter van. I'm currently driving the 1985 FORD F-150 affectionately known as "Mater". I also have, but not currently driving, a 1969 CHEVROLET C/20. It has been in the family for a while, so I want to hang on to it and either return it to semi-stock or dump a blown 454 in it.
-
I forgot about my 1978 Camaro I have at my uncle's house. It was given to me by my grandma who was the original owner. I drove it, then both my brother and sister drove it while in High School. Since it was mine first, I'm going to make claim to it, though I don't think they'll fight me for it. I replaced the interior in it and added the rims. My sister added the bondo to the back quarter panel after having the only wreck in it, and my brother added a paint job and a new engine. It's a pretty nice car now.
-
Oh yeah the van is a 2003 Chrysler Town & Country
-
Just got rid of my baby not too long ago. 99 Dodge Dakota RT.
Now have economical 96 Neon coup that I teaked with a bit and my wifee drives a kia sportage.
-
1997 f-150 w/330,000 miles and still kicking. ain't real pretty but it is paid for and it gets me to work and back. hell what else is a vehicle for?
-
ar3inc-Those Dodge Dakota R/T's will move. Is your Neon single or dual cam?
pburke-My '85 F-150 has at least 250,000 plus on it. Don't know the exact because the odometer is only a five digit. Just put a heater core in it yesterday...that was not very fun. But oh well...cheaper than buying a new one.

I had my RT down to 14.8 in the 1/4. I know it is not nearly as fast as some of the other stuff on the road, but it was quick enough for me to love it (and it was my daily driver).
I chose the SOHC on my neon, because the easier engine. yeah every 100,000 I have to replace a head gasket, but it is fun times.  ;)
-
HAHAHA...Yup, good ole headgaskets on those. Much fun. I remember the techs complaining about those when I worked at Chrysler.
-
I drive a GiantTM bike with 18 gear transmission, aerodynamic saddle (meaning, my bum hurts after each ride) and a little computer installed on it (that never tells me what I need to know).
Man, how pathetic...I really need to get my driver's license one of these days.
-
F350 dually, Or my Honda VFR.
-
2005 Cadillac Escalade ESV. I call it the Bowling Alley.

That's a sweet ride.....having your own biz has it's perks!
I'm not much for ostentatious, "dig me" type of cars....even if I can afford them....but Escalades are quality family vehix.
Now that I have to sink a bunch of capital into starting my new venture, new vehix ain't on the menu....not even a Jeep. I got a '99 Chrysler 300M and a '99 Dodge Grand Caravan. Time to update...but I'll have to be patient.

Its nice for road trips. It keeps the four knuckleheads occupied. They watch movies and we can listen to cds or XM.
-
XM is the shizzlebam. All of our cars have it and I'm already addicted. Thought about putting it in the wife's van, but she prostested. I'll convince her eventually. I'm not really in my truck enough to justify installing it in there.
-
I'm with pburke on the "to work and back" philosophy. I've never been into cars enough to want anything fancy. I'm currently driving my dad's 1994 F-150 while we fix up the 1994 Ranger I'll be claiming soon. It's got over 200,000 miles on it but it's been dependable and it's a fun little truck to drive around.
-
I've never been a big Ford guy, until I got my 85 F-150. The first Ford I had, an 87 Ranger met up with a tree early one morning and totaled. If I can find the pics I'll post 'em up. Since that wreck it was all Chevy's...before the wreck to as a matter of fact. Gotta admit, the old Mater ain't too bad...
-
if i could have any truck it would probably be a chevy 2500 4x4. but i got my ford for 2grand. price overrides brand anyday.
-
Yeah I would have a dodge 2500 ext cab long bed 4x4 with a cummins
-
1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee w/ 4WD. I love it. Had to use the 4WD this morning to turn around on a wet road shoulder
-
I currently own a 2002 Jeep Liberty and if I could get another ride it would get either an 07 Liberty or an 07 Wrangler

Is your Liberty a diesel or gasoline engine?
