I drive around in a 1999 Ford, 7.3l, 4x4, crewcab which I use to pull around my other car in a trailer (you can just see it inside the trailer). I live 10 miles down a dirt road and can't drive my other car on it. Here is the other car, a 1973 Nova SS (and what makes it go) which is fun to drive once I can get it to the pavement (wish it would hook-up better though)...10 pounds per horsepower!

I hear the "trailer queen" stuff a lot...but once they see my "10 miles of potholes and ruts" that we call a road, they take it all back. Thanks for the compliment on the Nova - I'm about to start a new one. I'm taking a 1973 hatchback and cutting it right behind the front doors and turning the rear half into a trailer. I'm going to use it as a small camping trailer behind my Nova. It will be the same color, wheels, and badging (SS) that my car is. Here is a picture of a 1973 (Olds, but the Omega, Apollo, and Nova were the same except for badging and trim) with the "camping option" on it. Then momma and I will use it to travel around on back roads of the US, visiting small, out-of-the-way towns (and being in their parades, festivals, etc)...it should be a real conversation starter!

2007 Dodge Caliber with a 2.0 V4 auto. I get 30-32 in the city and 29 on the highway. Big D as I call her has 26,500 miles on her and never skips a beat. It is impossible to miss me as I have a " I'd rather be flying licence border on my covering the outer part of my plate."

Well, I'm down to two vehicles lately, had my old '85 Toyota 4x4 pickup stolen and wrecked, had to sell it for parts, was a sad sad day...

Currently driving a '98 Toyota Tacoma (2WD :cries) and restoring a '71 Datsun 240z.
The Z has the L24 engine bored, stroked, and tuned by Rebello Racing to 2.8 litre with the triple-2bbl Mikuni short ram intake and air horn setup. It was a steal when I bought it, just needs a ton of TLC, and man is it fast!
