Drool... you've got to post pictures!

Wow, it's been so long since I've seen this thread I'm now driving something else!

What I usually drive, my 92 Ranger.


What I'd rather drive (without the camper on it's back) but it eats me alive paying for fuel, my 65 Ford.


The wife's 47 CJ2A, our "summer car". We don't 4x it and I've decided to not install the top. We only drive it when it's nice weather. This picture was taken at Woodburn when we were there for the Oldies but Goodies Drags. It was the slowest vehicle there and got more attention than you can imagine.


Until last month, I hadn't had this car up and running for 23 years. This is my "baby" when talking about things with wheels. Think street legal vintage road race car, and you're on the right track. It's not a drag car, but it runs mid 12's at 112-113mph. Top speed has to be close to 160. I hope to get it on a road course next year and find out.


The wife drives an 04 Jag X-Type AWD sedan. Ya gotta keep the wife happy, ya' know? Then everything else is easy.

For the back woods...my 92Jeep wrangler...looks great, runs great

Around town our 2008 Honda CRV.

Love the Honda..we owned a 1997 before and had outstanding results with. We towed it behind the MH for about 25,000 (didn't record on the odomter)...and drove it almost 100Kmiles as well

New wheels/tires and correct mirrors now on the green truck.

I know it doesn't look like much...
Pretty good mileage, though.

really like the true Oregon cammo paint job. Could you duplicate that on this one?

Well, at $9 a gallon for regular gas and 16-18mpg here in yUK the bubble finally burst on our long-term love affair with our second ML350 at just about 100k miles.

Now just bought/traded-in for a much newer E270CDI station wagon - daughter is a wheelchair-user so we need the huge trunk space.
Over here diesels account for around 70% cent of all new car sales by private individuals - coming up for 85% for companies, too.

I've still got my 380SL though - THAT is staying no matter what.

I could, but turnover time is about 30 years!

2004 Hyundai Elantra, 95,000 miles, 2.0 4-cyc, automatic, power everything, cruise, Kenwood sound deck, leather interior. Very fun daily driver.

Did I mention I get almost 30 mpg?

So this is my summer rig... but I won't even talk about what I have to drive most of the rest of the year. Let's just pretend it's the FJ.

 

[Trlsmn]

Nice!

Nothing like an FJ40 I miss my jeep

Looks like a pre-68 TLC? Makes want get my 73 back on the road and running...after all there is a brand new 350 Chevy sitting in the engine bay.

 

[Chick Holsters]

Trlsmn She's a bit rough around the edges and deserves a bunch of tlc, but I like her.


Spectra I think it's time you stop missing your jeep... you need to get one. Or how about an FJ? There are fewer of us than jeeps... we need road friends to wave to too.

Umm... Techieguy... your '73 is Sah-weet! Please fix it. I do believe that chevy 350 will work just fine for the job... better I'm sure than the 350 that's under Ruby's hood (that likely will go out soon). Yeah this one's a beat up, tlc needed, '69. But I LOVE it and it keeps me sane in the summer.

I drive whatever will haul my guns!

At least I hope it's still on the rails! May not be very pretty but it can really haul!
