OT - What's your ride?

1995 Nissan Pickup with 160,000+ miles on her...

She has this crazy metal ticking sound going on and rusty/dusty rims, dings in the paint from the hail storm, a couple of cracks in the windshield, and I think she needs a paint job... but she is paid for :-).

Peace

Red '97 Accord - nuttin' special, but I like it.

For two-wheeled fun, there's a BMW R1200C Stiletto cruising bike out there with my name on it. As soon as I pay off a couple of bills, it's mine, probably next spring.

I ride a motorcycle most of the time. (My handle has a double meaning)

My main bike is a 93' Harley Davidson FXR with a few mods. I bought it in 95' and I put about 15,000 miles on it a year. I love motorcycles.

When it's nasty out or I get tired of dealing with the elements I have a 90' Jeep Wrangler that I bought new with about 179,000 miles on it now. It has seen better days. I use it for camping and for beach trips.

My wife drives the "Good Vehicle". It's no Smootmobile though.....

Oh I've got you all beat.

A 95 White Special Edition Buick Regal with a blue ragtop. cool.gif

It was my granddad's, and has some really cool features, like an alarm that goes off when you leave the turn signal on. I traded my 92 Acura Integra for it when my kid was born ...

... I sure do miss that Integra.

1994 Toyota Corolla. Yeah, I know, boring but reliable and cheap to own.

I learned my lesson after driving a '65 Mustang convertible that I pumped X thousand's of dollars into to keep running over the years. Silver with a blue interior...........

Restored it with my father and sold it a couple of years ago. Boy have those things gone up in price!

I drive a 1994 Ford Explorer, Eddie Bauer. I do have the roll over wheels, or had until trading them in. I did miss most of the design defects in the Explorer, which started in 1995 smile.gif. Fully paid for and limping along until the Lincoln Navigator is in my garage. Of course, the Navigator doesn't come in Burgandy, so I may have to settle for a Expedition, which does smile.gif.

1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse, 103K miles, dark green in color, and paid for!!! What makes it nice though is the Washington Redskins plate in back that surrounds my Texas license plate!

And for the rest of the domesticated guys, the wife drives a 1999 Grand Cherokee fully loaded! Those heated seats really come in handy here in Dallas...

Bad topic for me, last week I traded in my 406 HP 2000 Corvette because my wife and I are going to have a baby and it was going to be a constant argument.

So we went a bought a 2002 Cadillac Escalade, it made selling of the Vette less painful. I had the truck for one day and a half before she calls me crying I hate that truck, I can't drive it, it is too big. So we end up returning it, they had to pry my hands off the keys.

So we ended up with a 2002 Mercedes Benz 320, I don't like it. Not after having my Vette and 1 1/2 days of that Escalade.

ok, not really. I got a 99 Cherokee Sport. Dark Green. Money ride for the 25 year old who likes to push his luck on the beltway and in the woods.

'89 Ford F250 - heavy duty suspension, rear wheel drive only, 7700 GVW, 8 miles to the gallon, 3 speed with a granny gear. She has the standard Ford, crappy candy apple red paint job that's down to the primer in most spots, and I can put a yard of sand in her bed and she won't even crouch.

I've driven her down to Black Pond (Madiera School) and had tp have her towed by a tractor out of the Potomac.

She's only got 84K original miles on her and I'll drive her into the ground.

Fun post...

Wife drives a 2002 Passat GLX. Sweet ride... the Germans make awesome autos.

I drive 1997 Mercury Mountaineer V8 AWD. I'll drive this one to the ground, at which time I will prompty treat myself to an X5 or whatever has my fancy at the time.

On weekends I drive my real baby... a 1970 Ford Torino GT. I couldn't find any exact pics, but I snagged one that is close. Mine is similiar except has the original wheels and the hood is not black, but the same color as the body (in this case, orange). Also, mine has hide-away headlights, which makes the car look much tougher. 4-speed and all...

I'm still waiting for the first family dude to step up and admit to the Aerostar.

Won't be me. smile.gif

Lady Om drives the ‘98 Accord, I drive the ‘97 Protege ... and we swallow our pride. Future fun ride(s) will have to wait until after the new home purchase, the kids' schooling, the dog's medical bills (he's pushing 14), the Rogaine (not really), the luxury box at the Jack, etc.

There was that ‘70 Nova with the 305 and crappy paint that used to surprise the hell out the morons in the glossy Challenger at the stoplight ... but that was in another lifetime.

As for someday ... there will be a 427 Cobra in my driveway. I swear it.
