What do you drive? Truck, car, or van

My last car.

Going from an 18ft road sofa with a floaty ride to a nimble hot hatch that'll knock your fillings out is an eye opening experience.
 
Love the wagon. Did it have the LT1?

Yep, fantastic engine when the Optispark is working right lol. I changed it out a few months after I bought it just to have the peace of mind of it not crapping out on me. I had that happen with my Michigan State Police Caprice. Nothing like sitting there in rush hour unable to move and having a line of angry people behind you blowing the horn lol.
 
I've had the itch to get another B-body, but it's so hard finding a clean one here in salt country, and if you do find one, they go for stupid money now. Looking out west and down south though, you can find really clean rust free cars for $2000 or less. Road trip time :D
 
Daily driver is a 2012 Buick Regal GS. Under the hood is a 2.0 4 cylinder with a little turbo that cranks out 20(!) psi of boost.

And it's a six speed manual!

I cross shopped the Regal GS when I got my Fiesta ST but they didn't have the 3 pedal for the 2016 model year :( I believe '15 was the last year for the manual trans in the GS.

That's funny, the Fiesta and Focus ST were also on the list of cars I was checking out.
I might have bought one of those if I didn't get such a smoking deal on the GS.
 
My first bought brand new vehicle, a 1987 Chevy Astro Van(totally restored/upgraded)
And a 2006 MINI SS.
A 2003 BMW Z8 Alpina #513.
No truck
 
A 2003 Ford Econoline Chateau, dog mobile when the wife showed Samoyeds. She has a 2007 Lincoln MKX. When we were shopping, I wanted the Mazda C9, same car underneath, but she preferred the Lincoln

I'm noticing the CR-V behind the longroof. :D Probably in better shape than mine! I also kind of recognize the neighborhood. You probably don't live very far from where I grew up...

My commuter a 2006 Hyundai Sonata V6. This is a great car that I bought new has 135k on her and I have yet to have anything go out on it aside from control arms & power window regulator replacement.

I took that pic at my dad's house, the CR-V is (was) his. It finally gave up the ghost a few years back with 266k on the clock. Me and the old man live in Warren, he's just a couple of miles away from me.
 
My daily driver is a 2015 F-250 Powerstroke diesel that I bought new. Used it to tow a 26’ Chaparral cruiser that I used to own. Now I just use it to and from work and the home improvement stores.8570755A-2D9D-446C-8B6E-37219EC1096B.jpeg
