That's my second best friend. Took me many places and has been tons of fun. I've put 65,000 miles on in 3 years and I only work 3 miles from home. It's an auto and totally stock. I keep winter tires on all year and it's a blast in the dirt, mud and snow. Probably will get a Jeep when it's paid off as I have way more fun playing in the woods than I do blasting around town.
 
Is that homemade? I rode in a homemade helicopter once. It would have been terrifying, if it weren't so much fun.

Its a ultralight kit plane form the mid 80s that I re-built, yes lots of fun flying 40 mph 15 feet off the ground.

Cheers :mug:
 
I drive a 2013 Ram 1500 crew cab express. My wife drives a 2011 Chevy Malibu

I have a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. "Sophie", I call her. She has 232,000 miles and runs better than any new one could. I have European Injectors to equal the European 110 HP output, and a excellent ROM Flash to keep stock parts, and still have fun driving it. It is supposedly 135 HP, and 202 ft lbs of torque keep it fun. At 75 mph, I get a steady 52 mpg. Had I of known I would be getting married back then, I would have gotten a Passat for more room inside. I paid her off last year and have built a network of TDI friends during this time. I had a fuel leak at the pump head, it was a small "O" ring in a place that was a pain to fix, but planning ahead, and plenty of help made it easy. I will be throwing a Smoker/BBQ party for my help friends, and my other friends too. I will keep you posted.
 
...and it's in the garage waiting for attention. For now, substituting 1980 Mercedes 300 TD.
Can't say I am a big fan of computerized cars.

No rush.

My daily driver is '10 Honda Pilot. Hauls hockey gear, smoker, bikes, etc. My fun car is a modified '95 M3. One more year and I can get classic plates for that!
 
I have a 2004 Land Rover Disco 2 which proves I have bad judgment, and my normal daily driver is a 2004 BMW GS Adventure which should eliminate any doubt.

We won't talk about the Cagiva...
 
2011 Chevy Cruz with a little over 61,000 miles on the odometer. Fantastic mileage, great family hauler. SWMBO can fit two shopping cart loads of groceries from Sam's Club into the trunk with room to spare (don't ask me how she does it. I still can't figure it out. :confused: )

I took a test ride on a GS once and loved it but couldn't live with one. I've a hornet 900 ( Honda 919) and CBR600 too.

Cagiva Mito was a hoot- miss two strokes!

I had this 1993 40th anniversary corvette for 10 years. It was so much fun to drive. The person who had it before me hardly drove it. I just sold it recently and it only had 84,000 miles on it. My get around town vehicle is a Ford ranger though, just throw everything in it, I used to have to get hay and feed when I had the horses when the kids were young and it was great for that. The wife drives a new Sonata and she loves that car.....Sorry no matter what I tried this pic would not load right side up.
 
2000 Ford Focus Wagon. I love the hell out of that car, which many people find odd. But I get upper 20's to low 30's in mpg and I can fit an oversized double bass and full electric rig if I need to, plus school books and a passenger up front.
 
I drive a hard floccin' bargain! and some kinda Buick POS to get me back and forth from work. our reliable vehicle is a Dodge Durango. I used to have an '84 Nissan 4x4. it was fun. the top one was after my exhaust manifold started rotting. it ended up with a 14" glass pack and stacks split after the pack.
