What does everyone drive?

1998 Ford Ranger EXT Cab XLT with over 335,000 miles. Has a Lehr Step up Topper.
Use to be my work truck when I was in construction.
Now it does everything we need it to do.
(Has been paid off since August 2003, did at least 60,000 miles a year when I was in the field, considerably less when put behind a desk)
I think the Energizer Bunny is hiding under the hood somewhere.

Subaru Outback or Legacy

I had a 2010 Highlander Sport and I loved it, but after 2.5 years it had 65k on it. I couldn't see putting 125k on a car before it was paid off. I gave it to my wife and took over her 2005 Sienna that only had 65k on it. Now the Sienna has ~128k on it, the Highlander only has 85k and they both will be paid off next month.

Congratulations, that makes them the best cars on Earth. The paid off car is the best car. Of course, I'm not a car guy, and I am cheap.

This 'un? (think you pulled my dumb ass outta the mud two years ago...)

Lol..That's the one. Still cleaning mud and onions out of the undercarriage. Best designed vehicle on the market. Bet that's a 10' rocket in the back. The built in beer coolers come in handy too.

I just got new Tires and it feels great.
My old set, Cooper Discoverer M&S were all worn out, so the other day I went to Tire Warehouse and got 4 of these Autogrip AT Trak tires put on. They handle AWESOME on the local road conditions, mud, snow, street.

Along with my 2001 Monte Carlo SS, I have a 1998 Dodge Dakota Ex cab that I use for misc tasking... owner since 2001.

The reason I don't have more money for rockets, my 2009 Pontiac G8 GT. Might as well have fun driving to work every day.

6.0L V8 - Mods: Cold Air intake, LT Headers, Exhaust, Tune, Etc...

This is for rocket launches:


1998 GMC Sierra 4x4, 454 cid & 410 gears for towing. 2012 Forest River Stealth 26 ft. toy hauler.

This is for going fast or slow:


1993 Pontiac Trans Am, mostly stock. 2005 Jeep Rubicon, highly modified for rock crawling.

We also have a 2014 Toyota Forerunner for a daily driver.

Our "old" vehicle is a 1994 Toyota 4-Runner --- that's the beater with the peeling clear coat that I take to launches. Our "new" vehicle is a 2002 Mazda Protege5, a 4-door hatchback model they only made for a year or two. The crazy thing is that even though these cars are decades old, neither one has 100,000 miles yet. My wife and I both have worked at home for the past 6 years, and before that, I had a 3-mile commute, and she drove about 3 miles to a light rail train for her commute. Sometimes I feel like I'd like a newer car just for something fresher, but cars are expensive, and we really do not need a new one, so I expect to keep these for a lot longer. At this rate, they are not going to break down anytime soon, but they may just oxidize away.

You guys know I'm envious of your toys, right? Damn, that's one beautiful Jeep.

Here's my vehicle, a lifted 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited. Here it's pictures at Airiest XX beside the trailer it towed out there.

2009 Chevy HHR with no options and 100K miles is the daily driver and the CMASS Shuttle.

Next car is the wife's 2013 Subaru Outback with all the bells and whistles and 30K miles in 3 to 5 years after she gets tired of it, or puts on 100K miles, whichever comes first.

Daily driver a piece of ****. Weekends 1980 corvette highly modified.

Managed to find a pic with all of them in one shot, lol. Left to right, 86 Bronco II toy, wife's 2011 Escape, my 2012 Xterra Pro4X (lifted with 33's), and, my 08 Ranger (soon to be my son's). The pop up was recently replaced with a new hybrid camper in the second pic.

I drive the mini-van most of the time including to launches. Our other vehicle, though, is a bit more sporty.

Wait...is yours the one with the v8, or the v12? How sporty are we talkin' here?

My rocket/work car is a Jeep Liberty, my weekend car is a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. We also have a 89 Ford Escort

2003 Toyota Echo. 210,000 miles on it.

Ours is the red one.

We are taking it to the body shop today to fix a dent. Someone backed into it last week. :-(

Our "new" (new to us) launch vehicle is a 2012 Honda Pilot. It is better suited to pulling the trailer across dirt and grass fields than our van was.

Generic Honda Odyssey minivan.
And possibly something more exciting soon.
