I have seen a thousand posts on flashlight collections and what not but nothing on what we all drive. So I'll start it off.

2003 Volkswagen Jetta GLI with plenty of modifications (engine, wheels, suspension, etc.)

I drive a 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34, that has over 104k miles on her, and she's starting to make me want to do what Jesse James did to that car with the 50 caliber machine gun. (CAR) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/xyxgun.gif

1979 Mercedes 300SD with 240K miles. 5 cylinder turbocharged diesel. When I merge onto the highway, all the right-lane traffic backs off to avoid the smokescreen! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crackup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif

Before that, a 1996 Electric Mobility #205 electric wheelchair. I'm using the #205's steering arm on my #245 now, because the steering arm from my #245 is broken.
Before that, a 1970 Ford Maverick, 120 horses, poop-brown in color, and it had about 200,000 miles on it when I got it. Some bunghole stole it in 1989. A toolbox with a lot of custom-made tools and a few flashlights were in it at the time.

88 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham (the Boat). Actual old lady car (got it from estate sale). Kids hate it so I get to drive it whenever I want.

Backup is 86 Chevy Caprice cop car with 5.7 litre L05 carburated engine and heavy duty everything (including reinforced frame). Sometimes, the kids will take that one because it goes fast.

My mode of transportation is a mountain bike with very carefully chosen parts. I've set it up to be as pleasurable for me as possible, while carefully avoiding things that attract bike thieves. I have close to 6,000 miles on it.

1990 Jeep Wagoneer Limited, same size as a Jeep Cherokee, with 290,000 miles on it. Everything still works except the cruise control but I never used it anyway. Motor is the classic 4.0. I can still shift it into 4 wheel drive at 55 mph. I am going to drive it until it falls apart. Wonder how many more miles I can put on it? Now I hope this thread does not jinx it and it falls apart tomorrow.
