I have a S-10 truck to haul stuff. When not driving the truck I drive my Pontiac.
 


 Before my truck I drove this as a daily.
 
 
 
 I have to admit that it wasn't very reliable which is why I bought the truck. (it also wouldn't haul a motorcycle.
 
 I drove this for 2-3 years as a daily before the Pacer. Someone came along and wanting it mre than I did.
 
 
 
 Before that I also had a wagon.
 
 
 
 I'm considering getting rid of the truck and getting another wagon and a trailer.
love that pontiac!

I'll post pics when I get home, but...

Current Rides:
  2008 Toyota Yaris - 1.5L 4-banger, FWD, Auto, "Red".  My first new car and also my daily driver.  Great gas mileage (37mpg avg), fair crash ratings, surprisingly roomy, and women think it's "cute".  ;-)  So far have put 39K on her, oil change every 3K, and has been completely bullet proof.  I plan to drive it until the wheels fall off. 
  1991 Ford F150 - 4.9L Inline 6 (300ci), 4WD, Manual, "The Truck".  Just got it this spring to be my "toy hauler."  Love it!  Roomy, body is in excellent shape, and average 17-18MPG. 

Past Rides:
  1988 Ford Bronco II - 2.9L V6, 4WD, Auto, "The Bronco".  Was my first car - drove it from 140K to 220K.  Got me through driver's ed, high school, college, first girlfriend, and my first couple of years of "real work."  The engine was still sound when I sold her, but chassis/steering/plastic bits were seriously wearing out and getting spooky.  Still miss her - had several auto mechanics in town compliment how good she sounded compared to the trashed Bronco IIs they normally see come through. 
  1988 Ford Bronco II - 2.9L V6, 4WD, Manual, "Silver".  Picked her up to learn to drive stick - only put about 6K on in 4 years of ownership.  Just wasn't the same as my old one...

Wants:
  Willys Jeep
  1971 Dodge Demon
  60s AC Cobra

Daily driver is a 1993 Ford Ranger shortbed (beater truck-bought new). Also have a 1976 Cutlass Supreme that I am slowly working on (been off the road since 2004).

Past rides: 1980 Plymouth Volare 2dr, 1991 Jeep Wrangler (1st new ride, sister now owns it), 1986 Dodge Shelby Charger Turbo (POS but fast), 1983 Dodge Diplomat 4dr (really needed a car).

Honarable mention to my parents 1972 Chrysler Newport and 1979 International Scout II that I was allowed to drive while in high school as long as I kept the gas tank full (I lost out on that deal).

Bad picture of current rides



The beep ( at Mom's house after I painted it)


Wish I had pictures of the others (except the Diplomat).

Just had to sell my little Fiat as gas prices in the UK are getting too high, so looking for a diesel saloon next. If I lived in the US with your gas prices I'd still be hanging on to her - she was a nice old bird and quick too :-)

Thanks Stev-o - she is beautiful but a typical Italian Dame - very temperamental and fiery! On current exchange rates, one US gallon of cheapest gas here in the UK is $8.58 USD!

Over on our side of the pond, that's called a Maserati.  Fiat's (in the states) are cheap pieces of sh1t (the old ones, I kinda like the new 500's)  ;)

Stev-o and Dave, thanks for that.  My dad and I did a lot of the work together, so the car means a lot to me.

Glad you both like it.

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.
