I don't think I'll ever buy a new car again. It's more fun buying something older, restoring it, and then having fun with it. I have about $7k invested into my old truck, it's like brand new, runs like a champ, and I'm not afraid to take it four wheeling at the lake - much more fun than any sports car I've owned. |

It's an automatic with the paddle shifters. We actually had an issue with our order. I posted about it in this post: http://www.gfy.com/showpost.php?p=19...&postcount=103 And, thanks for the comment on my wife. You can promote her site here: ExtremeBank.com </shameless plug> :thumbsup |

EDIT : There is actually a raptor getting around my way - talk about rare to ever see anything like that here, has some serious road presence amongst our almost miniature cars in comparison! |

To take more extreme example, its like owning 10 new laptop computers - no additional value, you can't fully use them all and no collection value. And hassle to manage. You can not fully enjoy all of those cars, 30 days/month, 3 day/each car. Thats if you need to drive every day. Now imagine you have one or two favorite cars, you drive them more often. Even less days for the rest. It gets to the point where there may be 1 or 0 days that you drive certain cars. And it takes time to manage them in various forms (could be as simple as battery going low because of not driving a car for some time etc). And on top of that they just depreciate in value as they are regular cars. On top of that - its still just regular cars, so its less of a collection and more of waste of space in your garage. Now if they were oldtimers, that would be totally different story. |

You mentioned having multiple laptops.... I have multiple laptops, same brand, different sizes. Depends on what I plan on using them for. For long trips where I'll be in one location for a long time, I'll take my big laptop. If I am moving around every other day, I'll take a smaller one. It's similar with cars. I have two four wheel drives, but they serve difference purposes - one is for hauling my kid, the other for hauling stuff that doesn't fit into my Jeep. I guess I could haul my kid in the truck, but it's not good for long distances - it's jacked up a bit and not the best drive. At the same time, I wish I had a sports car too from time to time. It's all about taste, and if you can afford it.... Go for it. |

Love that Raptor, sweet ride.
For the moment, I am rocking it Walter White style... http://i59.tinypic.com/6qyvzn.jpg But the plan is to upgrade to a SAAB 9-5 in a couple of weeks. |
I've had a lot of different cars over the years, including other Jeeps, but since moving down to the Keys in 1997, a Jeep is all I really need. Rarely need to drive faster than 55 MPH and usually more like 25 since my island is a National Key Deer Refuge and many of the roads are gravel. Here are a few shots of Matilda, my 1986 CJ-7 (flipped open soft top, top off, and tonneau/windjammer top) .

Maybe it's just a "Jeep Thing"...I named her Matilda because she waltzes down trails and over rocks. So...has anyone else ever named their vehicle? Any reason for the name? |

I name all of my cars (and my computers too). My Jeep Cherokee is "Goose" because it's grey, and when I say "grey" I think of Grey Goose. Now it's been shortened to "Goose", sort of like in Top Gun. My wife's SUV is a pearl white so we call it Pearl, and my truck is white also so we call it Sugar (name by my daughter). |

I just went and looked at the exact same car. Very impressed and cannot believe the price. I am not sure how they make any money off them considering they are going up against cars $30-50+k more while still getting 20+mpg in a sports car. How do you like yours so far? |
Quote:
I think ours was about $68k, but they start at $52k or so... great price! |
This is my ride a 1995 Purple Ford F-150 with a stick shift

That's the reason I just went with All Terrains on my Jeep. The mud tires look so much better though. |
Quick pick from yesterday when I had my car corner balanced. For those of you who are not familiar with this process they basically put the car on scales, 1 scale under each wheel. The spring perches on the coil overs are then adjusted, to get an equal 50/50 weight distribution diagonally across the chassis. When a cars diag. corner weight isnt equal, handling will be biased/unbalanced. Best suspension mod I have done besides the coil overs themselves! Next up is 20MM spacers, adjustable front and rear sway bars, and sway bar end links. Going to take to the twisties like a beast!
