What Do You Drive?

[seamus7227]

99 Dodge Magnum

Here is what i drive: 1999 Dodge Magnum(71K miles) It was my grandpa's before he passed away 3 yrs ago; 2 years later my grandmother sold it to me for $2200, she passed away a month and a half later. Besides it having personal value, love having a truck too! I have always had small cars, I'm 6' tall and that doesnt work so well, so when I got the truck I realized how much more leg room I had! (Thanks Mama and Papa)

You realize that a Dodge Magnum is a station wagon don't you????

 

[jaywood1207]

2009 GMC Sierra 4X4 crew cab in steel grey and love it.

 

[PaulDoug]

HA! I'm driving a 1989 Toyota Camry that is and looks beat. Has 232400+ miles on it. I have 500 invested it it total. I just want to know how far it will go before I throw it away. All the kids out hawking for washing cars for their clubs don't even try to wave me in!

That it is, but it still fits in the garage! Well, I guess what i mean is a dodge ram (magnum) or so thats whats on the logo! Heck, all i know is that its a truck! lol

 

[theidlemind]

Only diesels. My 93 Cummins Dodge runs 100% home-brewed fuel and is around 350ish horses. Love to surprise the ricers and pseudo muscle cars with it.
My wife's beetle gets 45+ mpg on the same home brewed fuel.
Life's good:biggrin:

 

[Jim Burr]

This always gets my in trouble from my wife...'03 F-150, '73 BMW 2002, '94 Goldwing...better move something so she can get in the garage :frown:

 

[LouCee]

Can you say mid life crisis?

Nope, midlife reward.

Have fun driving that Camaro, it looks great!

 

[boxerman]

02 Dodge picken up truck 4x4 quad cab.

 

[OKLAHOMAN]

During my mid life crises I first had a 41 Chevy P/U with a 350/350 turbo painted refig white, sold it to get a 29 ford Tudor 305, sold it to get a 48 ford club coupe 350 bored 30 over balanced, stroked painted corvette yellow. Now a 2009 Toyota Camery and a Kia van for shows......getting old sucks

 

[trickydick]

You have a Dodge Ram 1500 with a Magnum engine. :biggrin: I have a Dodge Dakota with a magnum engine. That's what they were calling all their V8 truck enigines for a while. Then they decided to make a station wagon and called it the Magnum.

[ctubbs]

My old 2003 Dodge 6 cylinder drags my 35 foot fifth wheel all over the place. OH, I forgot to mention, it burns oil. About 35 MPG bobtail and 21 pulling. She only has 195000 miles on the odometer and I have to watch it when my wife drives with the trailer. She tends to get over 100 mph without watching. I keep telling her 'white truck big white trailer, two white heads in the truck, they will bust you for that speed in a 55 mph zone.'

Yes, the old Dodge Cummins still has it. Guess I'll keep her around a while longer.

 

[nava1uni]

I sold my 93' Toyota Tacoma long bed truck with over 200, 000 miles and I miss it. But I now drive a 2007 Rav 4, which I can still use in the manner of a truck. It is a great ride and I get really good mileage, which is helpful. Recently went to Utah and got 32 mpg.

 

[jskeen]

1982 chevy short wide, with a 4 bolt main 350, Eidelbrock performer 2 intake and carb, hooker shorty headers and 4 inch pipes all the way back. Looks like crap, clear coat peeling off, stock wheels, no ac. But it surprises the heck out of the kids in their new computer powered riceburners light to light every once in a while.

 

[phillywood]

OK, I'm a car guy so here goes; '05 Cadillac Escalade, '97 BMW 528i, '62 Jeep CJ6, and 2 '59 FIAT 600's (one running, one not yet). I guess this explains why I don't have a dedicated woodworking area...

(I had a way built up '02 WRX and had a suspicion that turbowagon was a Subie owner)

Chris I do rember those Fiat's ,but I was two yrs old when they came out,but how in the world did you even find parts for them?

 

[phillywood]

'07 Nissan Titan. Have always owned Ford 150's, but was thinking about retirement when I bought the Titan. My boss, at the time, had the Armada, with >200,000 miles, had not done anything but oil and tires. Original brakes, exhaust system etc. So, I thought I would give it a try. Would like to keep this till at least the 2017 models come out. That date sounds un-real doesn't it!

Steve with 7 grand shildren one of them is bound to take it away form the Grandpa, don't worry /til 2017. they get it.

 

[phillywood]

Ok...I only have a Silverado 4x4 LS with 270 hp, but I'll put it in a collision against a camaro of any year any time!

She's looking rough right now...that's not unusual, because as you can see I hit another deer with it a week ago. According to the dealer in town, that is the 17th deer I've hit with this truck :biggrin:. I've had the truck for only 8 yrs, it has 175,000 miles on it.

The Bambi ran head on into the lower headlight, then it's body spun around and caved in my driver door. It'll be fixed next week though.

The value on my truck is only around $6000 or so now, so I have been considering lately investing in a bull bar. I hope to keep this ride for another 5-6 yrs and if I get another of them big doe's straight into the grill, it'll cost too much for the insurance to fix it. Last time I took a doe through the grill it was $5700 damage. Thing is...this truck never ever lets me down, and it's been paid for years ago, so I am quite attached to her. We have developed a great history together....too many stories to even discuss.

if you are telling the truth about 17 does then why haven't you gotten those bull grill or what ever they call those heavy duty grills? I almost lost a friend to one of them suckers, since she flow through the windshield and barely cleared my buddy's head and he it the air bag so hard that he ended up getting plastic reconstructive surgery to fix the darn thing.

I was always fascinated with German cars as a kid, but I was raised in an always cash-strapped pastor's home.

So when I got the money I bought an old Boxster off eBay that needed everything fixed on it except the motor, which had just been replaced by the previous owner (which probably precipitated the sale).

In January of 2009, when dealers where hurting badly in the first part of the recession, I picked up a 2007 BMW 550i with a 100k BMW warranty on it and just 15k on the odometer for half of what the original owner paid for the car new.

Randall, you must be living around Kirby west of 59 South? that's the area that has lots of people into those kind of cars like you drive.

 

[phillywood]

This is my wheels, a Vauxhall Zafira which is now coming up for 2 years old.

Mark, I rember my dad had a light blue Vauxhall standard shift on the steering wheel, never realized that they still make cars.

Paul if that was made in Japn you can probably get another 200k out of it.

[stolicky]

I sold my early-mid-life crisis car to support my pen turning addiction! 2004 Honda S2000m black on black. Well, it seemed to work out that way. It sure freed up cash flow for the woodworking abyss....

Now, its a paid for, 2004 double cab Toyota Tacoma. Oh, with the pink child seat in the back! : )

 

[louie68]

here's what am driving

Right now am driving 2007 FJ CRUISER TRD special Edition 1 of 3,000 in production

[maxwell_smart007]

Being a starving (former) student, I have a 95 GM 4x4 that's been well used, and a new-to-us 2002 Nissan Sentra...

I hear the membership is going to pool together and buy all the moderators MGBs - I'd like mine in British racing green! :biggrin:

 

[DurocShark]

I have a coworker with a fire engine red MGA. THAT is a sexy car!

Chris I do rember those Fiat's ,but I was two yrs old when they came out,but how in the world did you even find parts for them?

Some parts are tough to find but here in Northern California I have a good "local" source is a few hours away in Santa Cruz, otherwise parts on line especially out of South America (body panels). Both cars have upgrades (big 817cc engine, brakes) from FIAT 850's that are a bit easier to find.

My day job is in the automotive aftermarket industry so I'm lucky to have a lot of connections.

 

[Tanner]

Here are pictures of some my other vehicles. A 69' Cutlass (first Car owned at 16), 68' Camaro, a 73' Hurst Olds with a Hurst shifter and a 455 engine. That hurst had something I rarely see anymore...swivel seats.

I've also had:
84 Ford 150
85 Grand AM
86 Ford 150
89 Ford 150

You know it might be cheaper in invest in a good deer rifle instead of doing your deer hunting with your truck... :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Paul if that was made in Japn you can probably get another 200k out of it.

Change the oil and keep on trucking... I have a '96 Toyota Avalon with just over 243,900 miles on it... last time it was in the shop, the mechanic said I would be needing a tune up at 250,000... getting close.

 

[Buzzzz4]

I drive an '02 1.8 Turbo Jetta. I'm trying to decide if I need to sell it. It's at 190,000 miles and needs some fixin up. Looking at a '06 or '07 Nissan Pathfinder.

 

[Billman]

See my avatar.

2007 Mazdaspeed 3.

Zoom Zoom!

I've had 4 Mazdas over the years. Love them best of all the Japanese makers. Have you seen the new Mazda 2?

I have, and I don't care for the looks all that much surprisingly enough. While I haven't driven it, I have sat in one and poked around it on the dealers lot. It's small... Too small for me. There is not enough room behind the rear seat for what I need. Of course, if I didn't have a wife and a 7 year old, the space requirement might be a different story.

 

[tomcatchevy]

I guess I'll add mine...

1978 GMC short box with manual everything, hopped up 305 and a 4 gear (first vehicle and still got it after 17 years too!)
1986 Regal...gone when motor blew and 1st child came along
1988 AstroVan...gone when body fell apart
1985 Riviera... gone when 2nd child came along and needed a 4 door
2000 Alero... gone when 3rd child came along needed more room
2000 Venture... gone when started falling apart
2004 Montana EXT... main family transporter
1998 Blazer 4x4 loaded and with leather... given to me last week by mom. She bought a newer car and didn't have any luck trying to sell it so she asked if I wanted it. Body is mint, mileage is reasonable, and price was free, definitely a no brainer!

 

[DozerMite]

I putt around in this on occassion just to keep it operational.



It's a '36 Plymouth.

 

[kennmack]

don't drive it enough

This is my 1969 Chevelle, which tends to sit more than being driven.... in fact to the point that I think it's time to find it a new home..... but let me say that when you sit down in the car, start that engine, and move the horseshoe shifter into "D" nothing comes close.... except maybe turning a wood pen, and having the grain be a happy surprise!
Kenn
