It's not exciting and doesn't have enough power to yank a greasy string out of a cat's @$$ but has been a great truck perfect for my needs:

150,000 miles with just regular maintenance and bodywork---been rearended 3 times and had a deer jump into the side once (after I had come to a stop!) :rolleyes:

My wife -- 2006 Cadillac CTS-V (LS2 engine, 6 speed manual trans). I love going out for dinner with other couples in this car, invariably we get about 2 blocks and the guy leans forward in the back seat and says, "What? A Cadillac, and you couldn't pop for an automatic?" Right about then I downshift, stomp it, and he disappears out the rear window.

Me -- 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 quadcab. I love that truck. I loved the 2002 I had before it, and I'm sure I'll love the 2014 when I get that one.

2001 Taurus with the 3.0 OHV pushrod engine. Look in the dictionary under "boring rental car" and you will probably see a picture of it.

Until a month ago my commuter was a 1997 Mitsubishi Galant ES. 160K and the transmission locked. Now I commute in a 2006 Toyota Matrix Xr. It's small but I'm getting 34 miles per gallon on the HW.

My wife is primary on the 2007 Chrylser Aspen with the 5.7lt Hemi.

04 Jetta TDI 5 speed with 305 000 KM on the clock. Front fenders were replaced under warranty a few weeks back. Needs a new windshield for safety next month and an AC block replacement for the summer heat we're pretty much guaranteed to get shortly.

Duh, a Mustang! LOL

DD is my '90 5.0L LX Hatchback. 239K on the odometer, but that's about 115K on the 347 stroker and Lentech AOD with 3K stall converter and non-lockup input shaft setup. Yeah, I get 17mpg on a good day (three days of round trip driving to the office per tank, max). I bought it new and unless someone forces me off the road (very likely here in Florida!) I'll have it for another 20 plus years.

Wife's DD is a '02 Explorer Sport Trac "choice" package. 4.0L SOHC, Bassani exhaust, cold air, 75mm Pro-M MAF, 167K miles and runs like the day we bought it.

Son's DD is a '00 Mustang V-6 coupe and my daughter's is a '97 GMC Sierra 1500 (boo, hiss, trading soon for a Ranger!)

Here's mine!

Just kidding but had to show the pic. I was loading this on the tilt trailer and launched it (great low end torque). It almost ended up in the bed of my son's DD but I was able to stop it. Felt like I was doing a giant wheelie.

Real DD is a 99 Rav 4.

2004 Millennium Yellow Corvette convertible, except Mondays when I drive the 2000 Dakota Quad Cab so i can pick up the trash can from the end of the long driveway. After we finish HR376 the wife wants to build a MK IV. By the time that one is done the Vette just might become the donor for a GTM. (I can dream, can't I?)

On most days: 2011 BMW 335d - "d" for "diesel". Nice car, flat-out awesome engine - I can pound it all day long, get my g-force jollies, and still get 30+ mpg.

On nice Fridays and every once in a while: 2011 Ford Mustang Sh*lby GT500, SVT pack, stripe-less. See avatar. Da Beast.

The wife: 2006 Acura RL. The 335d was purchased as the Acura replacement but we changed our plans (Acura was supposed to go to the teenager but we decided that was a bad idea).

The teenager: 2001 Honda Accord DX. Purchased recently with 104K on the clock. Stick shift, manual everything including crank windows, "pre-scratched", just perfect for him...

And finally: 2007 Ford Expedition as family pack-mule, interstate cruiser, garden-stuff-hauler extraordinaire, etc.

Oh, and in the garage: 1965 FFR Roadster Mk3.1, slowly taking shape...

Then either a MB C300, 'Burb, or Jeep Wrangler depending on what my wife is driving.
