i have my 85 toyota, my junk.....i love that truck and use it and abuse it for everything.

my 88 p/u...some work, mostly fun. I leave all the work to my 85.

my road truck? a 1995 ford ranger 4.0 5spd....*sigh*...2wd. Awesome truck though, no complaints at all.

i'm actually in the process of trying to sell the ranger and replace it with a toyota 4x4. I think i might have found the truck i'm going to buy... Its a 1st gen

If it ain't a Toyota, it better be a Chevy. Or I ain't havin' it...

My other rig is a 98 Monte Carlo LS(L82 3.1L SFI V6), bone stock with the optional 16" alloy wheels and 225/60 R16s. Nickname: White Lightning. She's A WHOLE LOT faster than she looks, on top of being one of the best handling FWD cars I've ever driven. Great car, extremely pleased with it. Don't plan on selling/trading it EVER. And I don't feel embarrassed in the least driving it. Whether I should be embarrassed by it or not, I don't know, and/or I don't care.

81 yota and my dd is a 96 BMW 328IS with more mods than necessary, but it's fun to drive and I live 25 miles up a windy road. Gets me to work a heck of a lot faster than the yota. Can't say I'm embarrassed to be seen in it though.

easy way to look at it, you can't be embarrassed by what you drive, it's a whole lot better than hoofing it everywhere..

'06 SV650S - Great bike! Plenty of power and very well behaved. I can get over 60MPG if I'm really easy on it, but it's usualy more like 45-50.

'91 Geo Metro! 200K miles, 1.0 3 cyl, 5 speed, 50 MPG. I wanted to get a Toyota years ago, but this little car never died. Still runs great even now, but I need to sell it 'cause I never drive it anymore since I got the Yota even though the Yota only gets like 17-18MPG

Past rides have been:

1970 VW Bus. Was nothing but problems, I hated it.

1970something Ford Torino. Actually belonged to a friend of mine, but I drove it for quite a while before he actually sold it. It was ugly as hell and desperately needed a tuneup, but it was packing a 351 and it still pulled plenty hard. Pretty fun car.

1999 Ford Ranger. Absolute pile of trash. I had enough problems with it to swear off Ford for the rest of my life. At least post 70's Ford.

1970something Honda TL250. Had for a little while, was fun to ride if it would start

I've always been a Toyota guy at heart though the opportunity never presented itself before. So I decided to present myself to an opportunity and I'll probably never drive anything else. If they made motorcycles I'd probably own one of those too, but until then, Suzuki all the way!
