What do you drive???

[toxicavenger]

No all 4 wheels on the ground. Super simple - start it, put in N, turn it off, and pull 2 fuses in the glovebox, and it’s ready to tow.

that is the best way to tow it imo. i didn't see a tow bar hook up on the front so I wasn't sure what you were using.

my dad left his truck to my kid. so we sold her 2000 VW Bug and now I am tinkering with the truck. it has been next to a bayou for the last few years so rust has really fucked some shit up on it. not to mention all the mold on it. we spent 6 hours cleaning already. right front brake caliper locked up on it. so i am putting on new front brakes lines, brake pads, and rotors. next is a fluid flush for the transmission, transfer case, rear end, front end, brake fluid, antifreeze and the power steering.

my daughter loves it. so it will get the full treatment for sure.

You sold the bug? WTF. I thought it gave you a hard on every time you got behind the wheel.

You must think I was referring to the 65'? I am keeping that one. My neighbor actually bought the 2000 model from me.

Much better. My misunderstanding. I read too quickly.

i do that shit all the time

Bought this 2001 F150 in 2007. Drove it for work all over North Georgia for years. Never let me down. Sold it last year with nearly 400K on the odometer. One of he best vehicles I've ever owned.

Just picked this up today. I had ordered an M240i about 2 months ago, but BMW never even acknowledged the build order, apparently they're not building convertibles right now. How this one slipped through I have no idea, but I managed to track it down as soon as it hit the port.

Edit: Ironically, my local dealer just called and said BMW had just accepted my order and would build my car in April... Oh well.

congrats Jeff!
hope you drove it home with the top down as a show of defiance to the weather

Thanks! I didn't leave the top down coming home because I had an hour and a half of North Jersey turnpike driving, but once we got home, we did put the top down and cruised around our area for a while. It actually wasn't bad at all considering the snow and freezing temps. My wife will likely always put the top down.

Sweet!

Picked up an Isuzu MUX.

Love that you can still get Isuzu down under.
Loved my 98 Trooper. My daughter took it over when she got her license a year ago.
It got her safely through 2 wrecks ( neither her fault) and was finally burning through oil so fast that the engine seized a couple weeks back.
I'll miss it.

Yes it does. She called me from the side of I 70 coming back from her first day driving of up to Copper mountain for a day of boarding.
She said "Dad, the trooper motor went tick, tick, tick, tick, boom... Then died..."
I've had is since just after she was born.

Yup, my MUX is the spiritual successor to the Trooper. They were fantastic trucks.

That looks awesome.

About 3 weeks ago my bro in-law picked up a 1999 996 manual as a project vehicle. Initially he wanted to set it up for the track, but has now changed direction and it's going to be set up as a great car for weekend drives.

He asked if I wanted to go halves on the project, as a track vehicle I declined. Now with his change in direction I'm in.

It's going in for a major service tomorrow, new clutch & fly wheel, IMS, RMS and no doubt a few more things we probably didn't expect but are prepared for...

In time new seats, exhaust, suspension and bushes and some very restrained cosmetic detailing will take place.

The Toyota Hilux in the back ground is my daily drive with over 280K kms on the clock, it's bullet proof and has never let me down.

Nice, currently in Aus these cars a relatively inexpensive for what they are due to a number of factors. I have no doubt that in a hand full of years people will be saying why didn't I get one of those 996's when they were X-$...

Awesome car!

Thanks! I love it. Best car I’ve ever had.

I picked this up from my neighbour last week, a 2000 Jeep XJ Sport. It’s the 4.0L V6 version, same owner for 21 yrs. The mileage ... 140,000kms (86,000miles). I installed a new muffler, a signal lens, taillight and gave her a good scrub. For 4K ($3100usd), my daughter is happy!

[BacoNoir]

Wow, that’s really low miles for 21 years and looks to be in great condition.

Nice! Inline 6 in that, right? Bulletproof!
