    Just picked up this bad boy about two months ago
    1982 Ford F150 4.9L Inline Six, with 33s and a 3" lift. Extra leaf springs for haulin. Rebuilt motor with 30K on it. Finished a full tune up the other day.
    Need new tires, new rotors, new windsheild, new exhaust, new paint, and a few other cosmetics, but its my project for the year since the bike is about to be done.

    Currently drive a Mercedes 190 Diesel. Love American Iron though,especially Mopar. Had a 72 Challenger for a bit, as well as a Dodge D100 with a 400ci Big block,a 78 Caprice and an 85 Fiero. My real passion though, it the Fiat X1/9! Had lots (and lots) of those... HATE new cars...

    I just sold my 2004 dodge ram 2500 cummins for my new DD: 2001 vw jetta TDI. I went from an average of 17mpg to 48mpg... :D I think I made the right choice... They both pull my dirt bikes, actually it's easier in the jetta because the trailer is lower than the bed of the truck was :)

    Also got my 94 mitsubishi 3000gt vr-4 for fun on the weekends and 87 rx7 t2 for the track. I also have some dirt bikes... I want to get another bike but I got to much crap already... :(

    '98 Dodge Durango (Auburn Gear LSD replaced the crappy corporate) is my winter vehicle.

    '90 Miata (all stock) is our fun car.

    '09 Yamaha Zuma 125 (bumped to 155) is my grocery getter.

    These are airplanes, you can google for pictures and specs. Our cars are old junkers, I would rather put the money in other vehicles that are more fun.

    Just the bike. Rain gear for when I need it. Heated jacket, balaclava, and heavy gloves for when I need it (hit the 20's the other night).

    Have put about 5k miles on it in less than two months I think. Can't wait to have some money and start doing some mods.

    since i'm still commuting 40 miles one way, I drive a '95 Grand Am rust bucket with 160k owned by the parents. its falling apart fast because it seems PO never sprayed it clean from the underside after winter season was done. seriously rust falls from beneath it everyday but at 28~30 mpg it does the job.

    since i'm moving closer to work (only 5 miles!) in a few weeks hopefully (closing contract period) I recently picked up my own vehicle. '94 Chevy cheyenne V6 pickup truck in great shape. a lot of miles 157k but for only $1700 it should suit my desires for a long time with a solid 4.3L engine very similar to chevy astro vans.

    Having a long commute as well, I purchased an 08 elantra SE 5spd when it was new. Winter gets ~32mpg, summer gets ~38mpg. Already have 150k+ on this.

    Wife drives a 99 econoline conversion. We bought this for the trip to florida from Michigan, which worked out very well. She still drives it around and to school, but it gets about 12 mpg. ugh.

    I have a 2000 F150 4x4, but tranny is dieing, so I don't drive it now.

    My daily transportation to work and back is an '04 TP Cruiser, with 251,300 mi on it and counting. My other set of wheels is my 95 Chevy K3500 extended cab 4x4 dually w/ 454cid gasser. Obviously I don't drive that as much....that's for more local heavy/large stuff.

    "1962 3/4 chevy; bought in arlington, texAss from orig owner. it sat for 11 years and was dented everywhere."

    Nice looking truck. I have a 1965 GMC shortbox, fleet that I am restoring. Hope to have it on the road in a year or two.

    Other than that, I have a couple of vintage yamaha enduros for the cottage and the reliable vehicle is a 2012 Mazda sport.

    I have grown tired of modern computer controlled cars. After some major work on my Dodge Intrepid then a complete enging failure I took it to the junk yard and found this 64 Bug and took it home. The very first car I bought was a 64 Bug, paid 50$ for it 30 years ago. this one cost a bit more then that.
