What do you drive?
 I've currently got three: a 2001 Ram 1500 for heavy hauling (like helping my friends move and towing when other cars break down), a 1984 Town Car limo as my project car (it gets driven a grand total of about 1000 miles a year; and that's usually just for special occasions) and a 1995 Camry that I'm working on converting to an electric motor.


I'm also wondering if TIT just showed back up, if this guy starts on about his super secret green beenie days with the Army Aircorp I guess we'll know.  :lmao:

GM was going to discontinue the line, but Penske wanted to buy it and things didn't work out. GM screwed Saturn when they let the union into  the Saturn plants.

Still driving the 98 Durango, 180k miles and running fine, will drive it until the wheels fall off.

Still have the 67 Porsche 912 wrapped up in the barn too. It hasn't run since about 2003, awaiting the day when I can build a garage with a slab floor to rebuild it properly.

My "new" car is a 2002 Jeep Cherokee I bought in 2004.  It has 91,000 miles. 

My "working" car is a 1980 Chevy Malibu that has been converted to a right-hand drive for mail delivery.  266,000 miles.

My daily driver is a 1993 Buick Century I've had for a 2 years now.  207,000 miles.  Also serves as the Malibu's back-up, like last week, when the Malibu's LF upper control arm BROKE!

I have a 1988 Ford F-250 Diesel with 225,000 miles on it.  It's my wood gathering, load hauling, trailer towing, all around favorite ride!  It's also the only manual tranny in the bunch.   :II:

I have a 1995 Chevy S-10 Blazer 4X4 I'm fixing up for wintertime mail delivery.  235,000 miles.

All look a little rough (except the Jeep, that's "the boss' ride"), all are paid for, all run like Swiss watches, all perform very well at any and every task I use them for.  Three of them I got for free, another one I paid less than $1,000.

Feast your unworthy eyes on this, DUmmies; one of the toys of a greedy capitalist.  Original paint, 60K miles:







Whirring noises come free with the ride:


The supercharger really does the gas mileage in.  I manage about 17-18mpg with my driving style.

Yup. 

Everybody makes fun of my three wipers.  I can deal with it.  :-) 

I took this last year, my first attempt at Youtubing a video:

To the government, both of our cars are clunkers.

2004 Pontiac GTO

I think they are considered clunkers because we average about 20 MPG on the highway.

If getting 20 MPH is considered a "clunker", my truck should be killed! :lmao: :o
I get about 12-15 MPH. If I'm lucky. :wink:

I'm lucky to get 20 what with my busted exhaust and other non-working bits and pieces.  The 5-speed got roughly 20mpg or more, but I wasn't really counting.
