Thread: Car, Truck and Motorcycle Guys : What do you drive?

Wow!

jmercer :

The Outback...my wife and I have had 5 or so Subaru's. Bulletproof reliability. I think that I could have plowed snow with my last Outback.
The Mazda...what I would do is send my wife on a little trip with a friend...and put the turbo kit in. Once she drives if she'll be hooked and will thank you!
The Ranchero...talk about super cool!! I wish that I could remember all the mods that I did to my muscle cars back in the day. That was a real beauty with a lot of painstaking work!!

AECS: That looks like it would be a hoot to drive both on and off the road. It has a real presence!

Longhaultanker : That looks like it would be a hoot to drive..just on the road. It too has a real presence! Back in 1981 I bought a brand new International Eagle cabover and was a freighthauler for 5 years. Night and day comparison with your beautiful rig.

Thanks all for sharing!

And it's an automatic transmission. Yes, great to drive. I love it.

Thanks.

I was a on-call linemen for a power company and the Sub got me to work when no one else was making it in. I was able to clock us in and have the rigs warmed up and stocked by the time the rest of the crew arrived. It was a money maker being on the double or triple bubble. (double/triple time pay scale)

The Miata, at a 130,000 miles it still can make you shake when you push it even without the turbo. Har! Got some low profile stickies on it and so it corners like a go-kart.

The only reason I still have the details of the Ranchero is I kept my sales ad.

I had to let it go. One more ticket and I was to lose my required CDL which would have cost me my job everywhere.

I drive this like a boss...

This is my baby, Blackie, which I've had for 18 years now. My brother bought it new, got into some trouble and told me if I wanted it, go get it and at that time only had 55k on it.

I learned to drive in this, cut my teeth doing donuts in the snow with dad.


I was fortunate enough to buy my dream car 4 years ago this week. One more year and its all mine.

EDIT: Just realized I must have a thing for silver stationwagons....


I was unfortunate enough to have to sell my motorcycle in Sept. 2011. A 2005 HD Sportster 883R. It had stage I performance with slip on exhaust and I bought spark plug wires to match the paint. Rest of the bike was stock, except for the sissy bar for all the college girls that rode on the back. I lost all of my photos before 2010ish due to a computer virus forcing me to revert to a previous stable state, so this is the last one I have of my bike that I rode all over the country and got some frostbite on. I would buy another but I just can't decide which one and have no space in my parking space in my apt building.

You can plow with an old Outback. I had a classmate in college that threw a smaller clear blow on the front of his '98 Impreza Outback. He had to adjust the suspension and increase the size of the brakes for it to be completely legal, but if he accounted for long brake distance he wouldn've been fine. He was from Maine, if I recall correctly.
