PERSONAL RIDES

[ALDABRAMAN]

This thread is just for fun. Most of us have at least on thing in common, our passion and love for turtles & tortoises. I think it would be neat to share what we drive and any history as to why if interested.
I will start, I drive an 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha, 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL65, and a 2009 Harley Davidson Cross Bones. My favorite is the Hummer, just a pure product of american marval. Best to all, Greg.

Nissan Marona (sp?). I don't like to be too low to the ground, like lots of room in the back for sports gear and grocerys I also have to have something my tall family can fit in. That makes car shopping hard. My favorite thing about my car is the back-up camera.

For the past 40 years I've driven a pick-up. The current incarnation is a '05 Dodge Ram 1500, with a hemi engine and that thing really HAULS!!

(I have horses and used to pull a stock trailer. The truck makes it easy to haul hay)

I have a 2000 passat, 2004 avalanch, 09 buell and ski doo snowmobile (not sure of year - more my hubby's anyway) I would have to say I "enjoy" the buell the most (when the weather permits... lol) It has the best gas mileage, lots of storage and handles well on the corners.

I drive a 2000 mpv mini van to haul the kids around. A 2005 PT Cruiser for work and a 1946 Willys CJ-2a jeep for fun.

 

[Terry Allan Hall]

'88 Ford Ranger...plenty strong enough to carry a dozen bales of hay and/or my working-gear, while still getting excellent gas milage (generally, right at 30mpg)...

 

[jagsrule100]

2002 Chevy Cavalier, next vehicle will be a 4 door truck either a Chevy Silverado or a F150. And then eventually a sport bike

I LOVE this thread! My ride is a 1989 IROC-Z. It was stolen out of the show room and didn't make the first left turn, it slid into a telephone pole and wrapped around it. So with less than 100 miles on it it had to be sold as used. I bought it, basically brand new, and seriously just fell in love with it. It had a 5.0 then, that's a 305 and I drove it that way until it had 20050thousand miles. I don't know how to write that in numbers. I had money then, so I had a new 350 dropped in it with a big cam and a speed chip in the computer giving me more horse power. Something added so the pistons don't slap and I also had a new transmission put in at that time; a beefed up tranny with oh hell I can't remember whats it's called but the rear end is beefed up so that both tires burn instead of one slipping. I wish I could tell you guys what all was added, you'd love it, but I have a head injury and serious CRS.
But there are still problems, I don't have any money now and the heater core rotted out and they want $500 to put a new one in because the dash has to come out and the core pulled out that way. So in the PNW I drive a car without a heater.
So tonight with the weather below freezing I am taking some tortoises to my sister without a heater. Brrr. I am so tired of driving a cold car. But I'll get to see my sister and I know you all will miss me...So here's my car decked out with Dale Earnhardt #3's everywhere. My tires are special, wide, the same tires that race cars use only mine has tread. They say Goodyear Eagle #1's and NASCAR in raised white letters. Most of your cars are newer and fancier but I'll bet none are faster...
