What Do You Drive?

[Greta]

... sad that it is a true vision however seems like we are all headed that way.

Not really sad... actually kind of neat... We have a fairly small department... somewhere around 100 sworn officers. And we can ride our scooters just about year round. It gets a bit nasty when it's 120 degrees out but because it's a fairly small town (you can get anywhere in town from anywhere in town in less than 5 miles), it's no worse than taking a car because the AC is just barely kicking in by the time you get to where you're going. And the scooters are ALOT of fun!

The vision of all those scooters parked behind his precinct is kind of funny as well...

It is rather comical. All colors and sizes... even a pink one! :laughing:

Just got me a Toyota Yaris for short hops around town. First tank of gas I got 35 mpg for both city and highway driving!

I'm fortune it that I don't have to work, good investments in real-estate before it took a dump.

Okay, curiosity got the better of me.... What do you do for a living??

Like you even have to ask...



Looking pretty drab in that picture. Clean, but faded. That was after I first got it. Last weekend I devoted my weekend to it. wash, claybar, polish, wax. Looking a lot better now, but it could use a little more wax.

It can't be too bad though now. Had some friendly jolly old man ask me this week "Is that your firetruck?" and I said Yeah and he said "I'm supposed to be color blind, but if that isn't red I don't know what is." Maybe he was just being nice, but I just sat there and took it!

Thanks for the response.

'97 Subaru Legacy Outback. Its my boat puller, hunting vehicle, and everyday driver. Mounted the offroad lights to the towbar mounts on the front and replaced the fog lights with driving spot lights. Mounted the 2 wide beam mini spot lights on the rear for backing in boats and trailer. Ran all the lights to racing toggles except for the fog lights which are mounted to the original wiring harness.

The amount of envy I'm feeling for you right now is too large to be expressed by words.

I drive a bike comparable to this :

If I'm lazy I take a bus :

And for long distances I take a train :

No fancy bling-bling car here

Must admit, one of the few advantages to living in NYC is that you don't need a car to get around.... Unless you travel outside of the city.

Too bad I'm into cars and travel often to Long Island.

Heres some updated pics of the ride.
Hopefully I'll get my license back soon and be able to drive it when completed.

[Toohotruk]

Looks like a great "sleeper." :devil:

 

[schiesz]

Ya, thats going to be a nice ride. I would go for the "murdered out" look with all flat black.

I think that requires an explanation.

If the stock paint wasn't so perfect I would.

The color has grown on me.

This is what it looked like when I first got it home..:shakehead:sick2:

Needless to say, I have too much time into it, but it has been well worth it.

These pics were taken in my old garage.
My new garage is about 8 times as big!:twothumbs

My favorite "UGLY" shot:green:

Driver side buffed and waxed.

Heres another unfinished project: 1976 Kawasaki 90cc chopper.

Too many points....stupid stuff

I just never went to get it back.
It's been like 8+ years and I've saved a LOT of money and have realized
getting through life without a car IS possible.
Its given me a whole different outlook and also forced me to make some
very positive lifestyle changes.....wouldn't change a thing!
Actually glad it happened!

I have a COMPLETELY different outlook now!:twothumbs

It just sucks now that I've moved further away from town.
So I guess its about time....and I REALLY miss that freedom!
