What Do You Drive?

[GulfCoastToad]

Z71 Silverado. Gets me where I wanna go with no complaints.

[gadget_lover]

Unless it's very cold, wet, or I need more cargo space I ride one of these:




2002 1500cc Kawasaki Vulcan Mean Streak
1972 Honda CB 350 (350cc of course)

I love the way you have color co-ordinated your bikes, 30 years apart. My 72 cb350 was only 325 CC. I always felt a little cheated.

My current sleeper. 1999 Buick Regal GS. It's a grandpa car, but is supercharged and I've done a few other things to make her a little bit faster than stock.



Just sold my truck about 2 months ago, but this is what it was. Currently looking for it's replacement.



And my motorcycle. Used to have a 2002 Mean Streak in Orange, but I sold it and picked up the 07 Special Edition a few years ago. Got less than 2000 miles on it and is for sale, so if interested PM me.


the new one.

Nice old Chevy! '85?

[glendayle]

Yeah, 85, and the paint was phenomenal. The guy I bought it off of originally worked at a body/paint shop so the body/paint was immaculate. When I was selling it, everyone that came and looked at it said, "I've gone and looked at a dozen trucks that claimed to have great paint, but upon close inspection it was not that great. The body/paint is extremely clean on this truck." I'm not an auto-body guy, but one guy was explaining to me the body repair in the commonly rusted corners and commenting how the guy that repaired it did it the best way and not short-cutted like so many usually do. It was sad to see it go, but I wanted to lower it and I decided the cost to lower and buy new wheels/tires would be too expensive. Instead I decided to sell it and just buy something closer to what fits my needs. Looking for a 99+ with the 5.3, but if I find another clean 70s/80s I may pick that up as well.

Here is a pic to show how straight it was.

I drive a 1988 Chevy R20 suburban. It has some battle scars from a previous driver, but it gets the job done (although the chipped and tuned 454, courtesy of my uncle when he owned it, does suck down fuel.)

[Unicorn]

2002 Jetta with the 2 liter 4 cylinder. Not the fastest or most powerful car... only about 115 BHP, so maybe 85ish WHP, but it gets me around with decent mileage.

Sweet truck! Too bad you had to sell it.

2009 Toyota Camry Le Dark Grey Metallic. Want to get a new F150 Super Crew though.

[kaiser37]

Well here goes my first post! But I figured I would comment on another hobby that I enjoy. Cars!

I drive a 2008 VW .:R32




And for the light part of this post, my car has pretty nice HID's.

[Amandous]

I love to drive 4 wheeler
I have a 1999 Jeep Cherokee, it's not good for gas mileage , but it's a lot of fun.

Hi I'm new here but have (along with reading posts about flashlights until my eyes fall out) have really enjoyed reading this thread .

There are some pretty eccentric rides on here ... so I should fit right in . My current ride (although if you see me around town here in Michigan, it will likley be with the top down):





... my old ride:



... my even older ride:

[Klusner]

Gas prices have been really out of access and the petrol was also very terrible to bear.So i am thinking to buy bicycle too .Just wait i will be with you in few days.

[5.0Trunk]

I currently drive a 06 Xterra, 07 Malibu, and a new toy, 11 Mustang 5.0 which is now outfitted with a Whipple SC.

It would be fun to have that new Pony!

[Chiraag G]

I am alternating between the family Astra and Focus at the moment, and actually looking after an IS200 for my fiancé's cousin... I've sold the fun cars I had, but here they are....:

Nissan Primera 2.0 eGT - My first car, and the one I miss the most. Got totalled by an idiot who didn't stop for the traffic light like the rest of us:



BMW E30 325is - Started as a 318is, but had a 2.5 litre 6 pot engine conversion. Yum:

[cehowardGS]

I am 71, and this is just my commuter... an no, I don't go fast on the street..

07 GSX R1000



I go fast on this..
My WERA/CCS race weapon..
06 Honda 600rr..




when I carve the mountains, I use this..
03 Honda RC51, not for everyone...


My Ford F150 and racebike trailer.. Old men do go fast..




This rig has hit 95 mph with 2 racebikes inside. The F150 is stone stock!!

[glendayle]

Finally replaced my truck a week ago. 98 Silverado Z71 extended cab 4x4. 75k original miles.

[Nitroz]

Thats a full load of black locust in the bed, probably 4,000-5,000 pounds easy, plus the trailer.

People think I am crazy driving my 350 everywhere - I have an 80mi round trip to work. Right now the gas savings of a smaller car just doesnt outweigh the cost of the car and I would loose my 'ready for anything' kind of ability. Plus most small cars that get good mpg are FWD and a PITA to work on, so I'll stick to my trucks that are tough as nails and I can fix just about anything that could go wrong, and it can haul or tow just about anyhting I could want. Oh we also have a Lexus, but I really could care less about it so wont even post about it

Nice Cub Cadet! They don't make lawn tractors like that anymore.

DUDE! I don't have that in me at 51! Ever race in Texas?

[cehowardGS]

Nope.. Only east coast..Mainly around Summit Point Raceway in W. VA. Did a race school at Daytona when I was 66 years old, did another one at Virgina International Raceway in VA, started racing when I was 67.

You can do it, all you need is desire!!

[Toohotruk]

...You can do it, all you need is desire!!

And a lack of fear of pain helps as well...I don't get over bumps and bruises as easily as I did when I was younger.

[mohanjude]

Looking at your wheels makes me even more sad...

This was my pride and joy until I rolled it on the Motorway during bad weather.... Look away if you don't want to see a mangled wreck.

[tjswarbrick]

'06 C230 daily, and '66 Mustang when the sun calls my name. Both red.

Wrong! When it comes to be timid, from 1 to 10, with 10 being the most timid, I am at least a 20!! No kiddin.. Desire is the key.. I should teach a school on this!! Desire, makes one learning curve very, very fast..

Back on topic, some of my cars.. Only drive 2 seaters with stick shifts..

1985 Madza GSLSE, Mindtrain full exhaust, Tokico Adjustable shocks/struts all around, ST sway bars, no cats,



1988 Madza Turbo II, Tokico shocks/struts all around, RB full exaust, no cats,
