Hey CA...you wanna ride? Kalamity jane & Shandera will slide over and make room for you.

I gotta 97 Thunderbird, 97 Ford F250 Powerstroke Diesel and a 99 Saturn. One of those ought to fit your liking if you want a ride bad enough.

'Bout them horses...How much hay do they eat in lieu of gas? And wouldn't you get a ticket for impeding traffic?

There is only ONE in that list that I would be in and that would be the Ford F250 Powerstroke Diesel..... I'm definitely a pickuptruckingirl..... must be why I love to drive big trucks.. So if you aren't driving that.. I'll take the Ford.. and you 3 can ride in something else! .. LOL

.. depends on if they got fresh grass... impeding traffic .. those horses can go where most vehicles can't... So you're all stuck in traffic.. no problem.. Go cross-country with horses... lol .. now crossing a big river might be problem... lol They swim.. I don't.. I sink! .. lol

Depends on the mood I am in, and the chores I am doing that day! But I drive either a '92 Buick Roadmaster, or an '86 Nissan Kingcab truck.

I got a great deal on the Buick. Bought it in '03 with less than 50,000 miles on it, for $3200.

The Nissan is my favorite toy though. I bought it seven years ago from a friend who runs a tow company. Paid $50 for what to most people would be a pile of JUNK! Head-on with Freightliner will do that for something like that! LOL! Since every tow company and wrecking yard here is good friends with my uncle, and well acquianted with me, getting needed parts was no issue. The frame was still in good condition. Took us 6 weeks to do most of the rebuild, and on my 28th birthday, I had it smog inspected, had all the lights inspected, and registered at DMV. Since I put that truck on the road, I have only been forced to have it towed twice. Seven years, two tows... not bad for something that hit a big rig!

okay. . i might just be the oddest one out. . .but when i am in a big truck for quite some time. . . i want to step into something with a little zip and handling capabilities. . so. . . 2004 mini copper s with upgraded pulleys on the supercharger. . suspension/wheel work, 6 speed all blacked out and yes. . it might be a small little foriegn car but, its quick it whips in and out of parking spaces and traffic almost as easily as my 2007 triumph speed triple motorcycle. . . plus. . . the gas mileage on the mini is still about 33 MPG the bike is running about 42

Oh, yes, forgot to mention that I have a magic broomstick for my Halloween expeditions and other moonlit nights! Really good on gas mileage and quite a versatile vehicle... self cleaning and really low cost on parking!

Yup, I find the same... my Geo Metro is far better on gas than my BMW motorcycle... but the fun factor is worth the extra gas...
