What cars you fools have?

My old 911. I sold it before I moved out of WA but I will have another one before I die.
Ha!
I have 3 over 250k. One of them is pushing 400k. And I have a 4th with a 5 digit odometer that nobody knows how many times it's been rolled.
You'd be surprised how comfortable Challenger's seats are. My 2013 R/T (since sold) was a car that I could drive across the country. Very good support. To this day I regret selling her but I really needed a pickup truck more than the sports car. Now that all the kids are gone and I don't have to travel back and forth to work each day, I really think about that car more and more.
Dream car: Audi RS6 Avant. Reality: VW Tiguan
Firearms > Vehicles. I paid less for my 90s Exploder sixteen years ago than I have for many of my rifles. It always gets me where I need to go and with all I need to bring no matter the weather, so I have no need nor want to get a replacement anytime soon.
Slick cars and big trucks turn the eyes of far more dicks than chicks, and I have no need for attracting dicks. I guess others have different wants in life...

!979 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II purchased in 1988 and still being enjoyed today.
My dream car is an oldie but goodie.
1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental H.R. Owen Gurney Nutting Three Position Drophead Coupe. This is probably the sexist body ever fitted to a Rolls-Royce of any era.

Current pickup: 1996 F250 w/ 5 speed 4x4. 100ish miles from 250k on the odometer. Have the window sticker and all the original literature for it in the glove box. It’s slow, bad on gas, but it gets me to the range and will taking me to Raton this weekend. Looking forward to selling it soon though lol
The other whip I own is a 2017 Chevy Cruze I bought new in 2017 as I didn’t have a vehicle and needed something reliable before my fiancé moved out here. Turbo’d 6 speed manual and 100k on it due to her driving it daily.
Dream car: I’d be happy with an AMG G Wagon

My daily is an 05 Volvo S40 t5 awd w/manual trans which is pretty rare. It’s de-commissioned right now because of a popped head gasket.
So I’m driving a 13 Ford Explorer xlt until the Volvo is fixed.
My wife drives a 15 Honda Odyssey, we need the room & access to the third row because we’re going to have our 3rd kid in a few months. I think a nicer daily for her that still has a third row will be a Toyota Sequoia or Ford Expedition/Lincoln Navigator
My dream garage changes what seems like weekly.
My preffered daily right now is aF10 BMW 535D that’s fully deleted, tuned, & is polyurethane bushed everywhere.
My dream daily, at least right now, is a 10 Audi Q7 V12 tdi imported from Germany. I’m sure I’d be happy with it being stock but I know I won’t be able to stop myself from deleting & tuning it
I will need an off-road/tow rig and I think that looks like a Ford excursion. It’d be cool to Cummins-swap it but I don’t anticipate doing too much to it. It needs to be reliable and solid more than anything
My dream sports car has changed so much over the years that I could write a novel explaining them so I guess I’ll just explain a few
One is a Mustang, anything from the 90’s, that’s caged with a built auto trans and a bonkers turbo’d 408 Windsor. No twists and turns here, just straight line domination
And the other is the opposite, an E92 BMW M3 that’s a clone of a Team Schirmer V8 GT(look it up, they’re fucking insane)

-I'm pretty queer for late model Pontiac muscle cars. (Holden, whatever. It says Pontiac on it so I call it Pontiac)My street car:
2004 Pontiac GTO. 3.0L Whippled 421 LSX. E85 by the bucket and around 1100'ish to the tire. I bought this car new in 2005.
Mini S in the background is my Wife's other car.
The "Track Maggot"
2005 GTO.
25.3 cert chassis small tire car. 8.3L Whippled 331 and all the Methanol.
2 winters worth of work. Everything in raw aluminum (minus heads and fuel cell) was made here at the shop.
My wife's car:
2009 G8 GT.
ZL1 LSA setup on a 6.0. Makes right at 650 to the tire on pump 91. We bought this as a salvage car in 2017. I had a good 2 years just tracking down NOS OEM parts to get it back together correctly. New paint in summer of 20. If the mileage handn't been so low and the interior so good (literally show room new) we'd of prolly passed on it. Glad we didn't.

I got to spend the day driving this one around Charlotte Motor Speedway last year, my personal GT350 is triple black.

2021 Ranger Tremor
1993 Mustang GT, almost 100% stock
Last year I saw a guy show up at the track with a early 90's mustang. He pulled into his pit and pulled some wheels out of the back and a jack. Changed the wheels and was running in the 9's on a quarter mile track.
It had a full cage and had plenty of money and time in it. It looked like a stock mustang except for the hood on the outside. It was pretty cool to see him running around the hellcats and a few other cars.
My actual daily is a company truck. My 99 Jeep Wrangler is weekend duty. Wife has the eff won fiddy.
probably what you might expect from one of the poors that would commute on congested freeways.
this is set up with racing suspension for autox, so quick around corners but otherwise not modified and slow as shit at highway speeds.

Had some nice cars over the years, but my love for cars ended around model year 2006. Shouldawouldacoulda bought a Ford GT in 2006 off the showroom floor for 10K off. Driveway at the time was a little too steep - didn't buy, worth 300-400K now. Same bad decision with a Carrera GT in 2009 - guy was selling with 6K miles for 205K - being responsible, didn't buy, worth 1M now Got a GT3RS instead and built the motor. Had a Range Rover and E60 M5 at the same time. Recently bought a '62 F100, built 383, tunnel ram, dual quads, T56, etc. Will build a backdraft cobra or superformance gran sport vette next, but I have no interest in new cars now - they all suck. No feel, barely any skill required to drive, even at 10/10's.

I have had so many over the years different flavors for different times. I would become extremely bored if i stuck with one for more than a year two max. You name it and i probably had one (just no exotics) Where i live you aren't getting a mile without destroying it.
1999 jeep cherokee, 4.5" lift on 33's. 170k. yeah yeah typical piece of junk jeep xj you see everywhere. but its in great shape no rust, no issues at all. and i have no car payments. does me great when getting out to the field to shoot. i have enough confidence in it that i would hop in it and drive it across the country if it wouldnt suck my piggy bank dry due to the amount of gas it sucks.
Whats your city/hwy MPG in your Tundra? I'll be looking to get a truck in the coming years and I'm torn between a Dodge and Tundra. It'll be for towing a small trailer & hopefully, a camper in the bed.
Recently sold my 2002 F-250 so now I am down to a 2019 King Ranch Ultimate. A 1998 F-150 that I got from my father before he passed a few years ago and a 2015 Z06 3LZ that I take out on occasion. More times than not, if I am just out for a drive, I take the 2018 Gold Wing.

With the 35s on it the mileage is terrible lol.
I have 5 mile round trip to work and I average 10-11mpg. On the highway I get 14.5-16mpg.
Currently building a 1980 CJ7 in the garage, but I have a ways to go. You're all invited to follow along.

My daily is a 2003 Mercury Marauder with 209K+ on her. (engine rebuild @ 164K) She does have her bumps, and bruises, but overall she's in decent shape. When I hit the lotto she's getting a Shelby GT500 drivetrain... Took this shot just this morning while throwing the ball for the dog at the park. She was still clean from doing the ceremonies yesterday. Being a daily, and having a gravel driveway, she doesn't stay clean long... She's taking us to FL (from IN) Friday.
BTW, that little blue creature on the dash... that's Stitch. (experiment 626) My boy gave me him when I came home from Iraq all banged up in late '05. Stitch has rode with me ever since. The boy is a Sheriff deputy now, works as a school resource officer.
How to build a Jeep CJ7 bug out vehicle.
OK first thing... "Bug out vehicle" is a generic term that gets thrown around a lot. Yes, I could always use this to bug out in... if I had to. However, that is not really it's designed role. I'm thinking more of a "recon vehicle", as I don't plan to ever bug out. I just figured that "bug out...

Cool build, love the CJ's, had an '84 with the std 258 2-barrel in the mid-90's. Keeping the carb in tune was annoying, but bulletproof powertrain otherwise.
