Being a gearhead for the last 30 years or so.... now I tend to drive our Chevy HHR panel the most (good mileage), with my 76 GMC 1 ton (468 big block, bad mileage) filling in as needed . I also rotate bikes in there occasionally.

I have a station wagon as I LOVE having room to haul crap around. I've had a pick up in the past but I like the passenger room and comfort of the wagon, plus the car like handling. It gets shitty gas mileage though because it is a 5 liter V8 with 300 hp.

Since the Nordic Tug is the slow diesel, we needed a fast diesel - a BMW 335d. Nothing like 425 pound-feet of torque at 1750 rpm, while still getting 40 mpg on the highway. We also have a Harley Night Train. And can't forget Carolena I, our Pearson 303 sailboat (also diesel), and, of course, the dinghy.

2004 Ranger pickup.

Some doofus t-boned and rolled my 1994 Ranger. With only 230k miles on the clock I figured she had another 10 years in her otherwise.

The wife's is a 2008 Accord. A red light runner destroyed her 1998 Civic or it would still be running.

I tend to drive 'em till they drop. At 10 years I consider them just broken in.

A couple of days ago I went and checked out the Focus ST, 250 HP turbo 4 cylinder. I really like it, almost tempted to buy one...my wife brought me to my senses by reminding me I have 10 or more cars :angel:

too many bikes and a plethora of other "stuff" :socool:

I've got two of my Admiral's cars. A 2005 Hummer (12.7 MPG) and a new Wrangler "Artic". She picked both of them. I'm the 30 year old Mercedes Diesel Coupe type, or maybe a Landrover Defender, but I've had dozens of cars (sometimes a dozen at once) and it's better that I let her have her fling at it.

O C Diver · Feb 26, 2013

2002 Dodge Ram Quad cab pickup with 220 HP Cummins diesel 5 speed manual 2 wheel drive. 22 mpg around town; 24 +/- hiway. 326,000 miles.....still in the break in period.

One of these days I'm going to pull the dip stick and see measurable oil use.

Daily drive

GT4 Turbo 4WD, 1990 - love it....

twistedtree · Feb 27, 2013

Daily is BMW 550xi. Who needs a Porsche when your daily is just as fast :devil:

Then a GMC diesel truck, '64 230SL Benz, '70 280SL, and a '71 Volvo 142E. It's kinda an odd collection, but fun none the less.

Slowboat 37, I want that 3.0 CS. One of those is next on my list. Always loved them.

And Skidgear, I used to have a '63 E-Type. Another real classic.

That 550 is one of the best 4 door sedans on the road today, IMO. My wife drives a 335i hardtop vert, a splendid car. Just bought mother in law a 2013 535i, I pushed hard for her to get the 550, to no avail. :facepalm:

If you don't already, you need to check out bringatrailer.com. I've seen several nice ones pass through there recently.

All true gear heads should have that website bookmarked.

Twisted, I plan on putting it on E-bay in a month or so, when time allows for detailing, pictures, etc. PM me if you are serious and have questions.

A 2009 F-350 dually! Here is a pic towing my Sea Ray from NC to WA on I-80 west of Cheyenne WY.

I love it. It's a rare combination of a really nice, comfortable sedan, and a rocket ship sports car. Hitting the gas puts a big grin on my face every time. 0-60 in 4.6 seconds is hard to beat without getting into serious exotics. Even the top of the line Porsche is only a 1/10 or two faster.
