Okay RC/RAT fans, show us all your wheels.

2001 Jeep XJ Cherokee. The last model year of the last "real" off road SUV that anyone could afford to modify in their own garage. IMO, the YJ "Grand" Cherokee has too many electrical doodads to be a true DIY off road machine. It's too bad that the low tech I-6 in these bad boys was killed off by emissions standards.

Nice Jeep!
Ok, here's my 'baby':
Big bad 1991 Ford Sierra 2 liter rear wheeldrive, serving me just fine to and from work. On tarmac that is :D

If it wasn't for hitting a tree, a damn VW bug will go just about anywhere yall's snazzy 4WDs will go.
 
With the winch and the bar up front, I'd win against many trees, and every VW bug made.:D

I already took out $4K worth of Lincoln MKX rear quarter panel and sprung hatch for a bondo remolded corner of my front clip during a rain soaked fender bender at Lowe's last year.

"Crossovers" are mini-vans trying to be more "butch.":D
 
The only thing I have 4WD are farm tractors. Hell, I have more money in tractors than I've ever spent on a vehicle. Hard to push groceries up out of the ground with a vehicle.
 
I have a Tacoma exactly like it. Same color, body style etc. Cool. Yous looks a lot cleaner than mine though. I haven't washed mine since I bought it in 2002. 150K miles on it.

That's a lot?
Do you guys with low mileage live in the city or something? Just driving to work, the store and going out a few times, I can put 150K on in 6 years.
 
Dang I have a '06 Chevy Silverado ,I bought new in 2006 and it has 28K on it right now.
I sure like the Toyota's maybe my next purchase......
 
I have a car, but I haven't driven it for about a year and a half. I have it for sale right now so I can get a truck. It's a '97 ragtop cobra blk/blk/blk.

The list of stuff I actually drive:
Yamaha FZR400
Yamaha YZF600
Yamaha YZFR6
Kawasaki ZX14
Harley Davidson Ultra-Classic
Ducati GT1000
and my latest project, a 1976 Motobecane Mobylette moped.
Also I'm in the process of making my JR80 minimotard street legal. Then I'll be riding it to work.

Oh, and the city of Alpharetta will be giving me a take home car.
 
Hah! My Tacoma's a year older than yours! 2002, 4-banger, Forest-green Taco with just a hair over 90k miles on it. Granted, I got it used in late 03 with 14k on it, but man do I love, this thing. It hasn't been washed since August of last year :)
