My first dad bike 
. You know, bike you buy when you're old and want comfort over performance.

Okay, so I have a British motorcar (actually my second) -- it's my dog-hauler. Two Chevy's in the garage (one Silverado and one Tahoe).

We added this recently.
It's been a good year financially.

Yesterday I drove this....
My garage used to be filled with this kind of stuff...
Today I have a 2008 Chevy 2500 Diesel for pulling, a 1992 Full size Blazer, 2013 Toyota Corolla, and a bone stock 1968 CJ5 for fun.

Drive a Promaster Van 90% of the time, the other 10% is an F-Type R 2015 RWD 550hp loud fun machine. Not foolish enough to ever buy new, got her after the 50% depreciation haircut.

By tomorrow, maybe a CLS 63 AMG if I'm willing to fix the M157 issue during thanksgiving. Or a S550. Either way I'll make sure those engines last 200k, before a rebuild.

Found a C43 AMG with low mileage, went with that instead. Not the one I wanted but... Still better than standard MB. Not true AMG but eh.

For the Smartcar, just don't ever get in a high speed wreck. The frame around the passenger and driver is amazingly tough as proven driving it into brick wall at 70mph. Unfortunately, your body and brain turn to pudding.

I am still driving the same corolla I've been driving since the spring of 2010. I will still be driving this jalopy in 2030 if I don't quit buying guns and ammo.

Still driving the same 1994 Ford Explorer Sport (2-door) since January of 1997.
Over 330,000 miles on that beast already, and it just won't die. Nicknamed her Ol' Reliable, for obvious reasons...
Working towards 1/3 million miles, and everything still works on it, including all the power whizbangs and crooz control.
Mebbe Ford will make one of those "long-term Ford owners" commercials about me and gimme a new one...
She got retired as my daily driver in late 2015, when I acquired the Hyundai Sonata, otherwise I'm sure she'd be over that 1/3 million-mile-mark by now.
But she's still my go-to vehicle for winter/snow driving, and also the weekend escape vehicle, due to the cargo capacity and the ski and kayak racks.
As I mentioned in another thread, I retro-installed an Alpine AM/FM/XM Satellite radio/CD/Bluetooth/handsfree/mic stereo system with bass boost in her.

Before we got married, I bought my wife a 1994 4 door Explorer. That thing lasted us far longer than we expected, it only died when some drunk totaled it while parked on the street. I'm sure it's still be going today!

Love the leaf accessories. All of mine have fir needles and pitch accoutrements.

Yeah, getting the leaves out of the bug deflector always requires a trip to the self-service carwash (hafta mention that the bug deflector is da bomb!).
The Shop-Vac doesn't cut it, the garden hose with full-stream nozzle doesn't cut it... it's gotta be the high-pressure jet blast of the wand at the car wash...
I wait until all the leaves from the neighbor's tree have fallen, then I take her down to the carwash, hose her off, and clean her up for the winter season.
That works until next spring, when the neighbor's damned tree starts dropping all those little helicopter seeds again. Then the cycle repeats..

Nice my neighbor when I lived in Gresham was an ultra marathon runner, and he knew I ran (at the time I only did it for cardio for my MMA training) but he talked me into entering the 30k hagg lake half ultra and it was a lot of fun. Hagg lake is a beautiful, muddy place.
