What do you drive?

[jeff mcmeel]

I'm always curious to know what everyone drives.

I have a 2000 Toyota 4Runner Limited with an ARB Bull Bumper and a Warn M8000 winch. While I love owning it, I don't drive it enough, so it's up for sale.

Next is Jenny's car, a 2002 Hyundai Accent. One of the best decisions we've ever made was purchasing this car. Jenny has a 50 mile round trip commute and the 38MPG highway really takes some of the pain away from the pump. I know why these cars sell for $8k new, and it's not because they're bad cars. Working on them, you can see how they streamlined the assembly process to the point where everything fits together like lego's. Very smart, and good for me when I'm working on it.

(No photo, you guys know what these look like)


Third is my 1989 BMW 325i convertible. This is the fifth or sixth E30 BMW Jenny and I have owned, and they really are amazing little cars. I pulled the motor out of it to reseal all the gaskets last year and as of today, the engine is still apart. Hopefully it'll be done in time to enjoy the last bit of summer.

Fourth is this 1991 BMW 525i. I bought this from the second owner with 123,xxx miles on it. It sat for quite a while and no joke, must have had a 1/4 inch of leaves and dirt in every crevice possible. I was literally shocked once Jenny and I got it to the shop and cleaned it up, it's one of the cleanest and straightest E34's I've ever seen.

2001 corolla. I had to search for it on Craigs list for 6 months. Still going fine with no major issues. 220k.

Was going to buy the Ninja until I saw what the insurances costs. Versys is basically the same bike with a little more power and it sits higher , better bike for highway driving. So thats what I got. with and without bags

2006 Chevy Trailblazer. Pretty reliable car; has occasional issues with the lights, but otherwise not a bad vehicle.

Big fan of the CJ7. I'm hoping to own one myself someday.

My '78 Golden Eagle that I no longer own.
The day I bought it and parked it in our garage it was smelling a bit rank, it had been an "outside" Jeep for most of it's life.
My wife came home and when she pulled her car into the garage my son and I were beaming with pride at the "new" old Jeep acquisition.
She got out of her car and immediately scrunched up her nose and asked "What's that stink?"
That was the moment the Jeep was named "Stinky".
Here's a pic of "Stinky" after some new tires and wheels and some other cosmetic improvements.

That brings back memories. Used to have a 78 cj-7 renegade in high school. 304 v8, tan Levi's interior. What a great kids car that was. Looked like this one.

I just mean at that age it's really fun. I traded it for a 72' Mach 1. Funny they both had side pipe exhausts. The jeep I would always have to turn off at the drive through speaker so they could hear me. The Mach 1 it was so low it didn't matter. Like this one. Grabber blue.

Always did like the big Mustangs even though that rear window was more of a decoration than anything else. Needs louvers .

Almost done with its new configuration...

Here's what my son and I will be riding at the dunes tomorrow. Been a long time dream of mine to ride dirt bikes with a son. Tomorrow is our first ride on two wheels…..each. Leaving the training wheels at home (400ex). Pretty excited to say the least!

Well, it didn't go so well. My son's new (used) bike ran great for almost 1 mile before the engine seized. He's pretty devastated, me too. This is a broken young man pushing his bike a mile back to the truck.
