Wife and I trade off.

I have a beard. I am an engineer. I don't sniff my airlocks. 2 out of 3 isn't bad.

My daily: '10 jetta sportwagon tdi
Weekend vehicle: '84 K10 stepside (300k miles)
SWMBO: '07 tahoe

One trend that I see with the cars posted by homebrewers is that they are practical and/or fun to drive, but not flashy yuppy cars. IMO.

No beard, engineer, and love sniffing my airlocks.

used to drive this until some idiot backed into me at a light and totaled it (1997 Honda Prelude)


So i went out and bought this for my daily driver (2003 IS300)


wife drives a 2011 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring which sits in the garage the majority of the time since she works from home.

08 Dodge Charger R/T (vroom!)

2002 Audi TT

'98 Taurus dubbed the White Whale. Got it for $400 three years ago in great shape. Not really a car guy.

I ride this to work, 1979 BMW R80.
And then drive/operate this at work, 2010 Pierce Contender.
I also have a 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 long bed crew cab that I drive when the weather is really bad.

This pic is old, but pretty much the same just did some under the hood upgrades and cleaning since this was taken.



Just a mock up for the camera.

1999 Mustang GT Convertable (my baby)

and

1995 Honda Passport (beater with a heater!)

I have a 2k GMC Sonoma. 2 wheel drive. Bought it new. Still runs somehow. Just junked our Craplier 02 and got a 07 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport. Feelin high class now. We live on a hill so the all-wheel will come in handy this winter.

Oh those cherokee's were great vehicles weren't they.

Have a beard. I'm a programmer, so not a true engineer, but I definitely sniff my airlocks!

Drove an '07 Jetta until my wife (fiancee at the time) desperately needed a new car. So we traded both our cars in for matching Hyundai Santa Fes. They were brand new on the lot but were two years old so we got a great deal.

I miss driving a stick something awful (had three Jettas total - a '90 coupe, and a '96 in addition to the '07) - all sticks. But at least the Santa Fes have manumatic!

Yup, I absolutely loved that car. Sold it with 176k miles and it was still riding fantastic.

summer fun car: 1980 RX-7 71k miles. bought it with 31k on it.


but daily either the girlfriends 99 nissan altima or their 99 ford expedition

Finally got rid of the 99 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport that was limping along on it's last leg and picked up an 04 Pontiac Vibe (built on the Corolla platform) for the wife.

I recently gave away our second car that was given to me (00 dodge stratus ES) and am now in need of a vehicle for my new commute that starts in 2.5 weeks. I'm looking at some older Toyota 4x4 pickups. I do miss having a truck after selling mine 7 years ago...

doppelPrius family here. Never wanted a big car/truck and the only possible outcome (for me) of having a fast one is a lot of time spent messing with the law.

I drive a 2003 Honda Accord as my daily driver. I also have an 1983 CJ7.

I'm lucky to live in a town though where I can ride my bike most places including work. Though this Summer was trying with it being 112 outside.
