What do you drive?

[Dock]

My family and I are very much into the "car culture". Part of this is because as car dealers we've had the chance to make some very good deals for some great cars. We have a 15 car garage in the backyard which is filled with a 76 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow right hand drive w/ 50K original miles, a 2005 anniversary edition T-Bird roadster w/ 40K, my mom's 79 caddy hearse show car with 22' rims, 15" subs, neon, flames, tinted windows and an Ed hardy mural on the loading door, her mildly customized 04 PT Cruiser as well as a bunch of cars in various states of resoration including a 59 sunliner retractable, a 69 Dan Gurney Cougar with a factory big block, scoop and hood pins, a 62 T-Bird Monaco (VERY RARE car. One of 2,000) , an 80 Fiat Spyder, a 69 Mercury Monterey convertible and more that I can't recall right now.

My everyday car is anything on the lot that I like which is driven on a dealer plate. Today that means a 99 Ford Expidition with aftermarket mags, grille, custom paintwork and a kickin' sound system. When it snows I drive an 05 Dodge Ram PU plow truck.

I've decided recently to build a ratrod to bring to shows next Summer. I'm on e-bay everyday now looking for the right one to do up

A Bugatti Veyron. But the ash tray is gettin' full, so I'm starting to think about trading it in for one in a brighter color and with the Spanish leather instead of the Corsican.

I'm wondering if this is Carlos' alter-ego :twisted:

I drive a Callaway Big Bertha 10 Degree with a Dynamic Gold Shaft and can hit it about 275 yards if I swing easy and hit it on the screws!

Ha! A fellow Jag-ster. I have a 1998 XJR, a 390 hp gentlemen’s' lounge that smells suspiciously like latakia--by far the best car I have owned, but it is dangerous in any sort of weather. It has never leaked a spot of oil, and even holds coolant...when it feels like it. I think it, like most predators, it feels the need to mark it's territory from time to time.

Ahh yes, the XJR is quite a beast. I had a '97, which was the last of the 'R's with the blown inline six from the early Aston DB7. Helluva car, sorry I sold it. Always intended to replace it with a '98-up 'R' with the blown V8 but you may or may not know, the early V8s had timing chain issues, so if you've never attended to yours, better have it checked out!

The car in the pic in my first post is an '85 Series III XJ6, which is my winter car. My summer hack is a Mercedes 560SEL and I also have a Citroen DS in the stable which comes out only on French holidays, lol.

Daily for me is a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer 4x4, but my real toy is in the garage: 2002 Subaru WRX 2.2L Stroked JDM motor with more parts being added from time to time. It is a long term project to turn it into a Time Trials car, but thats a ways off and I have to many expensive hobbies to feed. Gotta focus on one at a time.

Cool car and scoot, but the jacket and Hush Puppies must go. Something more like this will complete your top shelf look:

I really like my jacket...The jacket is all black except the Harley Davidson logo...The white you see every where else is actually black when you look at it...Its reflective and the flash made it all white witch does make it look wierd...

The boots im wearing are just cheap boots...I do need to get new boots....Thanks for the links

I drive over 50 miles a day back-and-forth to work. Last year when gas went through the roof, I traded my '03 Lincoln Town Car (22 MPG) in for a new '08 Ford Focus (35 MPG). Once gas went back down some, a guy I work with asked me if I regretted making the trade....I told him I might regret it on a rare occasion, but every time I stop to buy gas it goes away pretty fast

I also have a Buick LeSabre, and my two antiques....a "73 Ford LTD and a '62 Galaxy.

You Jag owners are making me jealous! When I was in high school, I had two dream cars: a 69 Jag E-Type, and any late 60's GTO. Never owned either one.

Later, I did get a chance to own another "dream car": an MGB.

Currently, I'm driving a 1990 F-150 with nearly 240k miles. AC doesn't work, the inside rear view mirror fell off and I have never bothered to glue it back, and thanks to parking it outside, the paint is oxidizing badly.

But it still chugs along. All in all, probably the most dependable vehicle I've ever owned.

Yeah, but somebody will probably still be driving that F150 in another hundred thousand. I've had 2 like yours (a '90 and a '95) and they were great! My '90 was a 6 cylinder, 4 speed, 4X4 that got absolutely terrible gas mileage, but gave me great service. I sold it to a guy who still drives it, and it has over 300,000 on it now.
