I drive a Challenger, too. It's dark grey, not quite black.
Or I drive one of our two pick ups. Depends on the weather (on our dirt roads) and what I'm hauling.

WOW...Nice rides, I love cars, especially the older muscle cars and old trucks.

 

[user 7404]

Living in the Caribbean I drive a restored 1976 MGB and a 1996 Harley Wide Glyde. Besides that, I am doing groceries and running around with a Toyota minivan. When I am back in Canada it's a 1970 Impala Convertible for summer and a 1990 GMC truck for winter. Love cars....wish I Jay Leno when it comes to cars.

Vauxhall Corsa 1200cc, you wouldnt get a large car down our deep narrow rural Devon lanes.
solid granite wall one side, 6ft deep ditch the other.

Chevy Blazer. I tend to prefer the older stuff, but it was all that was available thanks to "cash for clunkers".

My other ride is a Winnebago.

 

[Mountain trapper]

Nice cars, but they'd never work around here. I drive a 07 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and a 97 F250 4 wheel drive flatbed pickup. The wife drives an 11 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit. We also drive a 21 CanAm HD10 Defender and a couple Yamaha ATV's. And of course horses.
I'd like to buy a new Corvette, but then I'd have find a place in town to park it.

1999 Z71! Pushing a half million miles on the odometer!!

 

[rice paddy daddy]

I drive an '07 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT Crew Cab 4X4 w/off road kit and towing package, 5.3 V-8.
Wife drives an '07 Chevy Silverado 2500 Heavy Duty Crew Cab LTZ 4X4 6.6 turbo diesel w/off road kit and heavy duty towing package. Hers is set up with a goose neck hitch for towing a horse trailer.

We be farmers. Hot rods can't tote very many bales of hay or sacks of feed, not to mention other assorted items such as fence posts and lumber.
Although I'd love to have a Fox body Mustang with a 302 V-8 to play with.

 

[Bacpacker]

I drive a 2008 Toyota Tundra, double cab, long bed. Daily driver is a 2005 Camry. Wife drives a 2018 Camry.
I'd like to find a mid 80s Toyota pick up,no electrics, and carburated, extra cab, long bed, 4x4. I'd rebuild everything from the ground up. Solid truck and super reliable

If you are handy with a wrench, a mid 80's mini truck with a 4 cylinder and stick shift is the way to go.
I had an '82 S-10 for 25 years and 378,000 miles. Rebuilt just about everything on it except for transmission and rear differential.
I'm toying with the idea of a square body Ford Ranger from that era with the indestructible 2.3 liter OHC 4 cylinder. Carb and distributor, no electronics. I've still got all the old tools needed - timing light, vacuum gage to tune the carb, even piston ring compressor, torque wrench, all the good stuff to rebuild engines. Heck I've even got a couple bottles of assembly lube for rod and main bearings that I use to lube my guns.

 

[Bacpacker]

100% agree.

 

[old tex]

I drive a 2021 Toyota Highlander. The wife drives a 2014 GMC Terrain.

 

[TexasCharm]

We have 4 pickups.. Chevy silverado, Chevy 3500 4x4, Ford F250, Toyota Tacoma (one of the old ones that's TINY ) depends on what we're doing .. or what we're hauling.

 

[d_marsh]

Nice cars, but they'd never work around here.

I also have a 06 Chevy Colorado pickup for 'other than asphalt' and when the snow gets thick. Plus its a lot easier to haul or tow something with a pickup.

 

[rice paddy daddy]

Snow? What's that?

I tried to copy the picture form there but it didnt work, it is a testament to how crappy some of General motors sheetmetal is, this truck is newer than Pearls white one, Road salt is not an excuse. It runs and drives great, I will buy a ford or Dodge with a puked engine to swap the LS into cause It would irritate lots of people.

 

[Tirediron]

now the better stuff,

 

[Alaskajohn]

Arctic Cat M8 in the winter. In the periods between snow, depending on the use, either a Polaris Sportsman, Ranger or RZR.

 

[simpleman]

1997 Honda Passport 4 x 4, 5 speed, V-6. Not much but it gets me where I'm going.
Wife drives a 2014 Chevy Captiva and a 2006 Saturn Ion with 350,000 miles!

 

[OldSchool]

I drive nothing worth mentioning, but there’s a long list of vehicles I wish I kept.
One I still have is a ‘96 F350 with 7.3l Power Stroke diesel. It’ll be on the road again.

I drove a '96 F350 with that power stroke back 30 years ago or so! One bad truck! I cut concrete in it and it went anywhere with the 4 wheel drive. Tried to buy it when I left but they wouldn't!

I’m all for anything with a point ignition system and a carburetor.

Back in the day I timed the distributor by ear and by experiencing how far the timing could be advanced without detonation and/or hesitation when starting at operating temperatures. The timing light was for reference purposes.

 

[UserNameTaken]

We have a 2019 F150 that will be replaced next year. You don't dare let the warrantry expire, the turbos are $5,000, each, and a tranny is $10,000. Yikes! Not a truck you can drive for 30 years anymore. My wife has a 2010 Corvette (Base) and mostly I drive a 2002 beater-mobile with peeling paint, so I blend in at Walmart...

My fun rig. '99 TJ. Someday will do a lift and 33's. But the mileage sucks as it is.

My '98 K3500 , the black one has a mechanical injection 6.5 and a manual trans, The Pete is a mechanical Cat.

 

[Tirediron]

And what Pearls truck would look like if it lived here about the same mileage, three times what is on the
blue '05. I think this one is an 02

One thing being in Texas, mine has no body rust!

 

[sonya123]

We have a rusty Dodge Ram pickup 2500 heavy duty 4wd for farm truck
Yukon XL for hauling stuff to and from market ( used to be our camping trip vehicle)
and a Traverse for shopping/other stuff

 

[Amish Heart]

We have a bright red 08 Ford pickup for our farm beater truck. Put a new engine in it a few years back, and it runs well. Our other Ford truck is only a few years old. Can't drive the Challenger when I need four wheel drive, but this time of year, it's perfect. Unless I'm hauling something. A V8 engine down the dirt roads is alot of fun. Ask little granddaughter.
