Other than your bike what do you drive?

So i'm sure that not everyone in here relies solely on their xj for transportation. So what else do you drive?

I currently am driving a 2009 Subaru WRX265...great car.

How about you?

 

2004 Ford Ranger

 

Cheap garage sale bicycle most of the time (best gas mileage around...)
I try to leave the truck at home. Wife's car when we both go on a long trip (to the in-laws, etc).

'93 GMC Jimmy for hauling, '95 Buick LeSabre for other

 

2002 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 4x4 with 35" all terrain tires ... a great little grocery getter.

I average about 16 mpg in the truck, and 38-40 mpg on both the 750 Maxim and the 1200 Venture. Even with the price of gas finally dropping around here, I am contemplating snow tires & heated gloves/vest for the Venture (kidding).

 

95 F-150 and an 02 Escape.

 

Wow, lots of truck people on here so far.

 

'96 Dodge Ram with 360 motor, 94 Chevy 1500 w/350. Both white, extended cab. Still have my old blue firebird w/350 I used to race around in. But it's not tagged.

98 Dakota gas hog of a V6. Speaking of gas hogs, i am currently ogleing an 87 442 for sale in western PA. if only I had a bigger garage.

My cage is a '96 Grand Am 2.4L 5 speed. Gets me from A to B...not as much fun as the XJ though.

 

I drive a $350 craigslist Jimmy. I drove it 2500 miles pulling a tent trailer this summer.Fugly but runs great. I don't care about mileage. I just put gas in and drive.

 

1999 Ford Ranger super cab with 140K+ miles.

Working on the next 100K miles thanks to my XJ650 Maxim.

Semper Fi all you FORD guys. :wink:

 

I consider my main vehicle and my first love not to be a cage at all. Jeep Wrangler YJ. Over 200K miles on the clock. Nothing ever needed aside from changing oil, belts, top and tires. Absolutely love it.

Drive a 95 Nissan Maxima with around 180K miles on it to work mostly. Have to because I have to haul stuff out of service calls on occassion. Picked it up for $1000 at an auction. Great car with a bulletproof engine. Apparently Maximas and Maxims are both bulletproof engines, lol. Apparently, I like anything Max. Maxim - Maxima. XJ bike - YJ Jeep. I'm seeing a pattern developing here.

 

'99 Subaru Legacy Outback wagon

And then at work, a 2007 Freightliner Columbia daycab.

 

1986 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce...(my bike barely visible in the background)

Got this from my brother in law 2 years ago for $500 because it needed an alternator. Besides my DD, it's my plow truck too.

I have a 2002 mustang convertible and a 2003 toyota 4runner sport.

 

Here's my 99 Grand Am that I customized. Added a body kit and gave her a custom paint job along with some limited edition 17" wheels from New York.

 

Great car. have you owned it for long? did you buy it in that condition? Looks clean.

 

Purchased it in 1990...originally from Texas and I bought it from a kid who was finishing grad school at U-M for $6K. 18 years later its still worth about the same as I paid 8)

 

nothing like a non depreciating asset...haha. nice buy man.

 

Have you done any performance mods on it? or is it all show, no go?

 

No performance mods. Has a 3.4 V6, enough get up and go for me. It's my daily driver and I commute 40 min one way. This was my wife's car which we sold to her son. He never made payments to us the got in a driver side front side collision. Sat in the bodyshop yard for a year then I had them fix the mechanicals ( front hub assembly and all linkages) then I brought it home and did the body work. The plan was to just fix it stock...then I started finding cool stuff on Ebay!! LOL Buying the paint and body kit and wheels didn't leave enough left for performance mods. That's ok by me though. I get where I'm goin' as fast as I need and can do it in style 8)

 

1998 ttop camaro. v6, been getting about 19-20 in town, actually does way better, 31mpg-ish, on the highway.

I had a 3000gt for a brief time. it was fun, i loved it. but when it broke i couldnt get parts. not trying to talk you out of it by any means, but definately something to look into. I imagine the stealths are easier to get parts for. I vote for the trans-am. long live (and welcome back!) f-bodies!

 

even as a ford man, I say TRANS AM!

Sick cars *drool*

 

97 BMW 528I
02 Pontiac Montana

 

2000 Ford ZX2
power nuthin' keyed locks, crank windows, 5 speed, basically a seat and an engine but it has 117K on and counting. Paid $7000 for it in 2003 with 21 K on the odo. hell I have lost more on depreciation on some of my cars.

30 mpg Best car I ever had...

k

 

My baby: 2007 GMC Sierra 5.3L Crew Cab, avg 16 mpg around town, 21 mpg or so highway, not too bad for 305 horses. Being able to tow 7600 lbs has come in handy several times. I hope to buy a camper soon. Only mistake I made was not getting 4wd.

My daily driver: 2002 Buick Rendezvous 3.4L V6 AWD, averages about 22 mpg overall. Bought from my sister for $2500, after dealer offered her crap for trade in. I just took it over 100,000, and use it for commuting and long highway trips. When I bought it, it was well behind on pretty much all maintenance, and came close to overheating due to a low coolant problem. After flushing it about 8 times with water, I switched from dex-cool to regular anti-freeze, and it's been great since.

As you can tell, Im a fan of GM cars.

 

Like Lisa and fonz, I have a 1998 Dodge Dakota with a gas sucking V6. The Chrysler Town and Country is the wife and kids vehicle.
