What Do You Drive?

[bearhunter]

Cool car, but I think it's more like 43 years old, not 23!

You are right just corrected that Thanks

Got some better pics of my sweet ride. Had it for nearly 6 months now. The V6 engine is sweet! The power and handling are incredible! Wish the brakes were a bit better, and the steering wasn't so light. But very happy, overall. Pics taken by a good friend of mine. Enjoy.

'09 Mazda 6 sSport model.

*All imperfections are the result of sunlight reflecting off my ride. There is not one speck of bird poop on my baby.

Just curious... Have you ever run out of gas? :lolsign:

 

[KD5XB]

Haven't run out of gas, but have run out of DIESEL a couple of times, although it was caused by parking on an incline when the fuel level was so low that it uncovered the pickup tubes.

The BIG tank holds milk, though...

Well, that explains the army of kittens chasing after your ride.

"Got Milk?" I guess you do!

I have two cars in my household. The first car is a '08 BMW 535i and the second car is a '07 BMW 328i. I also have a '03 BMW K1200RS motorcycle. My driving patterns haven't changed too much, but I do try to drive the smaller car whenever possible. On the weekends, I will try to ride the motorcycle more, but that really has nothing to do with gas economy...just trying to ride more

An almost bone stock Explorer sport with the 4.0 Litre soc engine. Gas economy and towing a bass boat will never go together. I do get 21mpg when I leave the boat in the garage. We are not going to talk about the boats mileage, it only has two speed settings, idle for no wake zones and balls to the wall.

This is my Suzuki gn125 what I use most, I have too a Virago, but I like more this one...

My car and one of my working bikes. It's an old pic but the bike's so good (Intense Tracer) I haven't bought a new XC one since.

Volvo V70 R
Manual transmission, big dual-piston Brembo brakes, 300 hp but only on a cold day with good gas and a warm engine and high humidity with the A/C and traction control turned off etc etc.
I do like the car, though. I hope to drive it 'til it's unfixable.
I've tinted the windows since the photo.

Wish I could ride my bike into Boston/Cambridge but there's no good safe way from the South direction and a reactivated train line killed all hopes for a rail-to-trail. Man that train spews a lot of gunk. Hard to imagine it's really lowering pollution. Sorry. Back to topic...

Responding a bit late. It's 1,5 years ago since you wrote this.
Back in 2000 (around) I did ride my bike from South Boston (Readville) to the city hall and back. Not safe? I don't know. I didn't know Boston and it's neighbourhoods so well yet. Looked safe to me. Only unsafe things I encountered were the holes in the roads I had to avoid.

Just wait until the engine is fully broken in. My '98 Jetta TDI engine fully broke in at around the 80,000 mile mark. Oil consumption went to zero and the economy surged to about 45 MPG on the highway despite a heavy right foot and some power mods. I miss that car.
