you drive a what?

[Kamicosmos]

I figured there'd be more Jeeper's here. Oh well.

1995 Jeep Wrangler
Been a while since I got to type up it's stats...haven't haunted the various jeep boards in ages, so without further ado:

2.5, auto. 2.5 lift, 31x10.5x15 BFG ATko, JB Conversions Heavy Duty custom-built Transfer case with the new Super Short SYE, Tom Wood's double CV drive shaft, hardtop, softtop, jks discos, HiLift, JeepBox black diamond plate console, 1970's era Midland CB. (waiting to be installed: extended stainless braided brake lines and Posi-Lock cable 4wd actuator)

And to keep it somewhat gun related, my rifle cases fit across the wheel wells just right!

What, no Corvettes?

I know they`re out there. Anyway, 2003 Silverado S/B P/U 4x4, 1995 Caprice 9C1 with the 5.7 LT1 motor and a 2003 Corvette ZO6. I like Chevys and of course there`s my 1985 Harley Wide Glide.

'93 one ton GMC bored 454 and 5-speed....or '68 Camaro.....you remember those....

 

[Azrael256]

heh... 1996 Mazda Protege DX. 1.5-L, 3-speed automatic, and electric... er... well, the only electric accessory is the windshield wipers. I'd rather an old pickup that I can restore, but they don't like you pulling transmissions in the dorm parking lot, so I guess that's out.

 

[artherd]

There's a privately owned Hummer in portland oregon with full camo and a mock (I'm assuming) roof mounted .50 I sheet you not!

Why on earth should it be mock?

Even in the PRK, the Browning M2HB is a legal long-gun (in semi-auto form of course

Perfectly legal to mount it to the back of your hummer and drive around (as long as it's unloaded of course) Regulated just like a .270 deer rifle.


Of course, we can't have AR-15s though. THOSE are 'too dangerous'

1997 Nissan Sentra GXE with 124K miles. It must have a thing for someone at the dealer and/or my mechanic's though since it insists on being brought back for work every 3-6 months and has since new.

After almost a dozen alternators, several brakes rebuilds, electrical stuff, and other miscellanious stuff it is about time to be put out of its misery (Gun Related Content: What is the best gun and caliber for putting a car out of its misery: 30-30, .30-06, .41mag, .357mag, or should I invest in something else? ). Anyway, I'm thinking Hyundai Elantra or Santa Fe, maybe a Ford Taurus or Ranger, Dodge Intrepid, and maybe a Honda CRV or Civic to replace it (of course, how much longer it takes me to get a job will certainly have some impact on budget and thus what car I get). G-d only knows what I'll be driving in a few months, as I certainly don't.


Edit: I suppose a .45acp, .223, 7.62x39 and 9mm may also be appropriate calibers to put it out of its misery. Will one of the calibers mentioned do or do I need something else? (Hmm, maybe a reason for a .44mag, or .270, or .308.....)

98 Toyota Sienna and 00 Toyota Camry. Yeah, it just screams married with children. Unlike my 93 Taurus Wagon they have never needed more than regular maintenance. They get me to the range although someday I'll have a truck. I hope!

 

[Spieler]

The wife and I are a bit behind with new vehicle purchases due to new house, new baby, etc..., but hope to upgrade before the year is out. Current rides are '93 Mustang and '97 Corolla - real 'his' and 'her' kinda cars.

You mean to tell me I've got the ONLY Porsche on The High Road?

Not to worry, it won't go to my head.

1.) It's got a WATER-COOLED 4.5-litre OHC all-aluminum modular V-8, (20 years 'afore that Ford unit.) therefore REAL Porsche snobs sneer at it for it is NOT a 911.

2.) Hit's BEAT. Tired. Rode hard and put away wet. The dash looks like moldy beef jerky. (Straight sheetmetal, runs like a champ. 140+ mph.)

3.) Sometimes I use it as a truck. (Cute girl accused me of embarrassing it by hauling lumber in it. What can I say, it's a hatchback. Lumber FITS.)

4.) Some idiotic scungewad STOLE the durn thing. That'll learn ya some humility. (Idiotic means refer to #2. Since recovered, see sig. )

It is Der UberWagen, (Cute girl named it.) a 1982 Porsche 928, in Lovely 'Miami Vice' Cocaine White! 150K miles, gone up a curb sometime in it's life, needs the radiator and every little rubber thing under the hood replaced, the interior is mostly destroyed, drips oil but doesn't burn it, goes like ganbusters, the Kenwood works, and as my Camaro-owning friend put it: "That thing winds up like a jet engine!"

Cost to drive it home? (Before tires and a front suspension refurb.) $2100. For a tatty-but-functional luxury GT coupe that ran $43,000 new in '82. God was smiling on me that day. ( Of course, shortly afterwards I lost my job. But I had a really cool car!)

928's are severely undervalued, as they lack the 911's snob appeal. Naetheless, they are pure-bred Porsche from the ground up, (No shared components with those 'VW' thingies, unlike the REST of the water-cooled line, and those '914' shoeboxes.) and you could procure an as-newish 300-HP specimen for 10 grand or a bit less. (Unlike a 911, which'll set you back $20,000 starting, easy. Snobs.)

I would avoid test-driving one, however. They're good at instantly ruining any American car you might drive afterwards. Truly amazing machines, like nothing else.

Now in an effort to puncture my swollen head and vent a little hot air, and to help maintain relevant topic-atude, I'll mention that the wheels I acquired whilst my fin ottomobooble resided in Stolenville consisted of a Rock-Solid 1977 GMC Sierra Classic 1500 Pick-Up Truck what's got a Small Block with 283,000 miles, a lumber rack, a job-box, and a 3-rifle gun rack behind the seat that has even managed to tote rifles to the range here in the Occupied Territory. (Shhh. Don't tell the gun-gwabbuhs. )

Except, Gosh-Durn-It-All! Just lately the engine siezed up solid on the freakin' freeway at 65 mph outta nowhere! Quiet as could be, and then THUD! Ze engine she no spinnee! And it had oil pressure and coolant, so don't start in on me.

Anyone gotta spare Chevy small-block fer sale in the Bay Area, cheap?

TechBrute: Yes, that's me driving. As you can tell, I totally blew the apex of the first corner after the straight, apexed REALLY late, and ended up going much faster into the left-hander afterwards, and the rear came loose there. Turns out the tire pressure in the riht rear was about 2.5 lbs low- the car kept breaking loose there all day, but I never spun it until then at that slightly faster corner entry speed.

Ash gray '96 Dodge Dakota extended-cab 4X4 with the 318 cid V-8. Barely broken in with 105,000 miles. I don't usually drive very fast, but she pulls my bass boat so easily that you can barely tell that its back there.

I also have a 89 5.0LX.

And a few other cars out of state....

Is it right-hand drive?

Aren't you just a little nervous driving a vehicle whose name stands for "Killed in Action"?

 

[bogie]

My car is a 96 Mitsubishi Mirage that I bought new. First "major" repair out of warranty is going to be an engine mount - it's currently got the shakes... 91,xxx miles...

My van is a 95 3/4 ton Chevy conversion by Jayco. 350 with a tow package. Bought it from a finance company after they repoed it off an impound lot. Had to replace two shot-out windows and clean up a bunch of fingerprint powder. Had 44,xxx on it, and I paid $1,000. It now has 65,xxx and doesn't use oil.

2002 Mercury Grand Marquis.

Trunk can hold many guns, though some minor audio components have reduced the available space a bit.

 

[TallPine]

1976 GMC 3/4 ton - unfortunately a 2wd. 350v8 and 4 speed (with granny gear). It is sitting outside with chains on the rear tires, and hasn't been off the property for a couple months. Runs wonderful but looks not so good with rust speckles all over. Has the required rifle rack in the rear window.

1991 GMC 1/2 ton 4wd Suburban (350 and automatic) which is currently hauling about a ton of mud on the undercarraige and sides. The "family car" which has to get through mud and snowdrifts to the school bus stop twice each weekday. Interior decorated with dog hair and nose smears all over the inside windows.

1950 Case VAI - not a car but I spend a lot of time on it skidding logs (summer) and pushing snow (winter)


But I still miss my old 65 chevy short box stepside with 6cyl and 4 speed. Gosh, I wish I hadn't sold that thing!
