What do you drive? Truck, car, or van

Had a decked out 2012 Ford Focus Titanium and loved the car. Fun to drive quiet and a decent stereo. After the wife passed I had 2 cars the focus and a 2013 MKS Lincoln which was the wife's car. The oldest boy needed a car and I didn't need 2 so I sold him the Focus dirt cheap. After driving the Lincoln for a daily driver as nice as it was I just couldn't love it. I've been a a hatchback kind of guy since the 1971 MG BGT and I missed the Focus. Did some looking and found a 2016 Ford Escape Titanium and since it's on the Focus platform it was like coming home. With the 240 horse
eco-boost it's quick it's almost as quiet as the MKS, the Sony stereo is the best I've had yet in a car and it can tow 3500 lbs. With the eco-boost it's no gas mileage champ but it drives so well I can live with that. So it's the Escape and the Moto Guzzi and they both make me happy. There may be a vintage gear head car if the right deal comes along.

The 6. Not bad power for a 6 but just doesn't have the rumble.

Yeah, we rented a V6 Mustang, about a 2015. I'm a fast-ish car guy and I strongly prefer manuals but that automatic V6 Mustang was pretty fun.
A kinda friend has a V6 manual Mustang with some soft of exhaust and it feels quite a bit faster than the stock auto and the sound helps a bit... but it's no GT. That Coyote motor is pretty peppy for a production motor.

Do you watch Roadkill? Those guys put a 5.0 out of a late 80’s Mustang GT into an early 70’s 240z. Then they put a turbo off of a power stroke diesel on it. That thing was nuts

I always liked the MR2
My wife's car - 2001 BMW 525i Touring (e39). Sport suspension, and 5 speed manual transmission. Only 5000 came to the US, and less than 1000 of those had the sport package. Even fewer came with 3 pedals. We have about 250,000 miles on it. A pretty sweet runabout.
And yes, I do get to drive it too.

Well, until we see you shoveling manure out of the back into a wheelbarrel for the yard we'll just say 100% car.
Guess you've never owned a Sube? Have filled the back with gravel, black earth, sheep manure, wood, etc....you name it! An Impreza HB, no less.

My gonzo fireman brother in law had a Ford Dually. I helped him collect granite boulders up to 200+ pounds for his rock garden. He over did it, pinch a nerve or something and half his face became paralyzed. It was kinda freaky. It eventual got better. Be safe!

I have driven an 06 Corolla for the last few years, bought it with 30,000 miles on it and it’s been a great car. Corollas are absolutely, utterly reliable but boring boring boring! Plus I’m 6 foot four and approaching age 50. I’m thinking it’s time for something bigger. My youngest girl will be driving in a year or so and the current plan is for her to drive the Corolla, which means it’s time for me to get a car that I like. Right now I’m looking at Saab wagons.
