Foo - What do you Drive?

A thread where we talk about our cars.

For me, a 1993 Jeep Cherokee Country.

Jeep pride! -Brofist.-

I have a 1967 GMC 3/4 ton that I use for anything that needs to be pulled. I don't drive it too much, though. It's so rusty it gets lighter whenever I drive it from all the pieces falling off. No pictures tho.

Me too. I've been car-free since November 4th. I sold my 2008 Nissan Frontier.

I drive other people crazy.

Add me to the bike group. I did like driving a golf cart for several summers.

I ain't owned a car since August '07 dagnabbit!

It was a VW Golf though.

I try to ride my bike mostly.

I am happy with my 2001 Subaru Outback wagon.

it's interesting to see that no one currently owns anything newer than 05'

I have an 06 beetle convertible and an 03 Z71 extended cab with 53,000 origional miles. I also have a 1986 conversion van with low mileage

2002 Miata, 2004 Acura, 1979 F150 4x4

The Acura is my go to car, the Miata is getting a new engine, and the truck gets 13 MPG so it just takes out the trash once a week.

I love my Beetle, I do a lot with it

This is our motorized transportation...with our water transportation on top.

the Miata is getting a new engineMight as well pop a supercharger and headers on there, since you have it out anyway... :innocent:

I drive this little thing- 2007 CTS-V with Corvette LS2 engine and 6-speed manual transmission.

Speaking of which, didn't we have a thread like this not too long ago about the different autos that we've owned?

Those foam blocks are cheap, would do a better job of protecting the top, raise it up a bit to maintain good forward visibility, and level it off so you don't cup so much air/improve mpg. And they also might allow for hatch access without unloading.

I drive nothing now, and love it, but sometimes I do miss my old Wagovan. :(

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v214/lamplightsg/Wagovan/IMG_4996crop_filteredsmall.jpg

I have a 90 GMC 4x4 Suburban and a 88 4x2 Chevy Suburban and the family travel rig, a 06 GMC 15pass van. I used to have pics of the Burbs, but cant find them right now...............

Probably good advice if we ever had to put it on top of our car again to get to a lake. Seeing that we live on a lake, though, it's not a huge concern. We have a little rolling canoe dolly that does the job of hauling it to the water. We took the photo just after we bought the canoe and hauled it about 6 miles. :D

I got out of sea kayaking...tired of loading/unloading to/from the paddling destination. But yours is the ideal situation. Might I suggest some wood grain with plaid trim to complete the "family truckster on the water look?" :innocent:

In addition to driving my wife crazy?:D

As a Realtor, no was I can go car free. Currently, a 2007 Mercury Montego with 99,000 miles. Seriously considering a Prius as most mileage is city based.

Wife drives a 2003 Corolla, just barely broken in with 108,000 miles.

02 Mazda Protege5 -- wife's car, but our only one.

Otherwise, Geekhouse custom Woodville.

I like my cars, I have no interest in being car free. To each their own

Might as well pop a supercharger and headers on there, since you have it out anyway... :innocent:
It's eating oil like it was the antidote, and I've already replaced one head gasket. Time for a ground up rebuild or replacement.
What I'd really like to do is leave it naturally aspirated but convert it to CNG and re-cam it to utilize the 150 octane.
But I'll play hell trying to get a custom fuel tank made and installed.

I've already replaced the breather, headers, exhaust, springs, shocks, and brakes, and added double hoop roll bars.

Turbo would be more efficient.

'05 Hyundai Elantra hatch

A rare sight: I believe this was the first ride I carried my bike to all year.

(it was a fine ride, though. 44 miles, mostly unpaved)

2003 Nissan Sentra EX. Has 76,000 miles. Since I've started commuting by bike 26 months ago, I've been putting about 2,500 to 3,000 miles per year on it.

'91 Previa. Almost a quarter million miles. Bought for a dollar. Here pictured at the Gathering of the Vibes 2009.

Subaru Impreza. A GC chassis with the 2.2. Eventually going to receive a built EJ22G (No that doesn't exist it's an EJ20G on an EJ22T block.)


Turbo would be more efficient.

Well, eh, there's a lot of variables there. A turbo is "more efficient" most of the time but it's also very easy to blow up, will require lower compression, cause turbo lag, definitely need to be tuned, among other things.

Supercharger is the right choice for a lot of applications and a "turbo being more efficient" is a canned answer that doesn't really mean anything :)

2011 Ford F150 FX4 4x4 crew cab. 5.0

Love it.
