weeelll my DD is the '86 toyota in my sig
if it's not drivable then i drive the '96 dodge 1/2ton 4x4 (bout 13mpgs everywhere..
)
if thats down then i drive the honda civic (bout 38mpgs
)
if those are down then i drive my grandpa's '04 ford ranger (base model single cab shortbed with 4cyl auto) and it gets about 35mpgs..and is VERY uncomfortable and rides like a chuck wagon...
and ranger is NEVER down..it only has like 10,000 miles on it..LOL
but here lately the toyota is doing GREAT! other than that pesky freakin stock carb needin to be rebuilt..

O and Colton ( with the chevy tow rig)
you will LOVE the '98-2005 24V cummins diesel..its a freakin BEAST! ours was a 6spd standard (4x4 of course) QC SB... and it pulled a D6 Cat dozer up a some big hills around our country side like there was nooo problem...
one day i was comin through town and i noticed a BIG BIG BIG dump (semi truck with a dump trailer) dumping a BIG A$$ load of gravel for these guys to use for their driveway, and i noticed it was muddy under the semi, i figured o well he can manage. Well, about an hour later i drove back by and the truck driver had his rig burried up to both the rear axles...i pulled out one of my BIG BIG log chains (very extremely heavy duty) and asked the guy if he wants me to help him get out..or if i should go get the wrecker and he said " i dont think that little ole truck will pull me out (i was in the dodge diesel described above) you might wanna just go get the wrecker" after he said that i kinda got mad..hooked onto his tow hooks..wrapped the chain around my front tow hooks..popped it in 4lo reverse..and yanked that big ole semi up out of the mud and pulled him onto the asphalt..
there were already a few other people that tried to pull him out..2 chevy 4x4 (both gas) and one ford diesel 4x4...but they were all in 4lo 1st gear...not reverse...being in reverse brings the front end down and really lets those front tires dig...they all learned a lesson that day..LOL!

2003 Chevy Impala. When I bought it I liked it, but thought it was kinda blah. Now, I love this car. It's so smooth and comfortable to drive, has a bumpin (at least for me, the girlfriend says otherwise) stereo and has enough power to get around.

My other ride is an '89 Honda Civic. Has 209k miles, new timing belt, water pump, plugs/wires, alternator, accessory belts, clutch, tires, and some other stuff. Should be good to go for awhile 
And when that's down I get to battle my mom for the '96 Corolla with 286k miles.
And if both those fail its on to my friends

It won't happen cause I have 4 drivable Toyotas and 4 others that won't. 
If you see me driving a non Toyota I am either being kidnapped by aliens that were immune to gunfire or I am dead and I've been turned into a zombie.

Such a huge difference in power compared to my truck. I actually have to be carefule in it.
