Currently a 2001 3/4 ton Yukon XL with an 8.1
Before that I drove an Expedition, which I still have with 300K miles.
I had a Lexus LS430, it was a super car until a truck rear ended me and totaled it.
Also had a LS400 and a bunch of great old volvos, except the twin turbo 1999 S80 it was fun to drive but stayed in the shop more than the garage.
My first car was a '71 Mach 1 Mustang, I still have it.

wish I could get a bike but I DO NOT trust other people, texting and driving and such... I'm in Buffalo so the winters are a b*tch on vehicles.... I'd rather walk than drive a minivan. had one before, had a ford econilne with a "work bench" in the back aka fold down bed for the band days....i will never own a van again...think I may go Silverado or F150...

...keep doing what you're doing, you'll only get what you've got...

Yeah they loved me for awhile. Especially in my 20s. I'd have to admit a lot of them I didn't have long enough to register them or didn't want to pay the fees so I drove em until they got impounded, wrecked or stolen, but that was my teenage years lol. I went thru a lot of cars in my teenage years because they were bought with "dirty" money. And what is bought with "dirty" money just doesn't last.

Back in 08 or so I test drove both the (used) Silverado and the F150. My impression is that the F150 felt more truck like and the Silverado was more plush and car like. They were really that different feeling. I wanted my truck to feel like a truck so I went the F150. I don't think you can go wrong with either it's just what you want your truck to feel like. That was in 08 so I'm sure things have changed but F150 would still be my first choice. Also for consideration if I drove a lot I would seriously consider the Ram 1500 with small Diesel engine. Gobs of torque and excellent fuel economy.

160,000?!?!? Is that a typo?

John, have you ever done an Iron Butt Ride?

Not a typo and that's just one bike  ;) Added up i've got over 400k miles on two wheels.

Never done a butt, not into the long saddle cruise thing, i'm a leather suit  knee dragging  kind of rider.

I drive a 2015 Audi A3 limo.
It's one of my dream cars and hopefully will keep it for many years, at least until I can afford a BMW series 4.

Will probably be the only one here driving an Audi

Not at all! One sees plenty on the road here, and one is even driven by your very own Blue Moon Pierre.

2010 Dodge Avenger, wrapped for work.
Summer fun --> Kawasaki Vulcan and a 1970 Dune Buggy, bike or buggy depends on if I need to pick up anything on the way home from work.
As much as I'd like, I just can't justify the cost of a truck

and 244 that I know of (A6 for me and an S6 for Rich). There is somebody else I talked to, from the board, who has one, but I can't remember who. . .
