yep, A couple of marinas have complained when we stuck it on the dock. Chuck
We all know the boat you own, what's your daily driver?

I am currently driving 2012 Jeep Cherokee Summit in red color.The aerodynamic and innovative design of the jeep helps it stand out among other concept jeeps. Looks simple but nice jeep. Love it!

I have a 1983 GMC Jimmy 4X4 with a 6.2L diesel. It has over 579,000 miles on it now and I was hoping for a million but I'm retired now and don't drive it much anymore.
I love the simple things. It has crank windows but the tailgate window is power. I do have AC and a nice sound system. Fuel mileage isn't as good with this new diesel as with the old sulphur diesel. Was 24 MPG now 17.8 MPG. I can't understand how improving things results in it being worse.

The oil companies want you to burn more fuel not less

It's funny you can drive a car in Europe that gets 78 MPG and runs like a bat out of hell but here they can't be imported.
They also make the engine for a BMW here that makes that fuel economy, but they send it to Europe. Can't use it here.

Reviving an old thread (because I can, and most of us are looking for something to do ‘cause the boat is put away 
)
Current daily driver for the lovely wife is an Audi Q5 (turbo gas), and mine is an Audi Q7 TDI. The Q5 is fun, but I do love 400+lb ft of diesel torque on command!

I followed a trooper through Nevada for 100 miles when I was bringing my car back home and he was completely awesome, I have an entirely new respect for the work you guys do and I completely agree with Captain Jack.

Thanks.
For the record: I didn't post that pic looking for any accolades or attention or thanks, etc. Just posting my "daily driver". I also have an older F250 that pulls the boat/trailer...but that's boring.

Yup. Almost seven years later, driving the same truck.
My son owns the LJ78 behind mine.

2012 Prius (love the mileage). Will likely sell it when I retire in one year, eight months, and 22 days. Then we'll be down to sharing the wife's 2016 Acura.
