"99 Toyota RAV4 with a body that has seen better days (kinda like mine, haha...) and 34-37 mpg!
We drive everywhere with that little thing although it admittedly rattles your teeth a bit on gravel. We also have a 2001 F-250 7.3 powerstroke for when we need to be serious!

Driving a new '09 GMC 2500 HD, gas job. Its the companies truck but we get to use them for personal use as well so its great, it for hunting, pulling the trailer... I love it, why you ask? Because its FREE!!! No insurance, no payments, no maint costs and dont pay for gas, which is good because it is thirsty, not as bad as my 05 was but bad enough!!

My wife is in a 08 kia rondo, little tight with 4 kids but good on gas and works well for her running the kids around, getting groceries...

Mostly Ford family!

2003 Ford Supercrew lariat (50k on it) ....used for hunting and fishing.

2006 Volvo XC 70 AWD (owned by Ford) that replaced a 97 Exploder....should have gotten rid of that a long time ago!!! Great vehicle for the city and highways....probably the most comfortable seats in any vehicle I have ever been in!!! And I have been in alot of very nice vehicles....

84 Mazda rx-7 GSL-SE (Mazda is partly owned by Ford) project car...brand new street ported motor! Anyone looking for a project car...I have put enough into this one already

83 Honda CBX 550F2 - 20k original on it. Great summer bike although I don't drive it much....too worried about cr.p drivers and don't want to leave my little ones without a dad. It's all about priorities....

07 Polaris Sportsman 800 Limited Edition.... Nuclear Sunset aka Orange!! That is so the Bears can find me in the next few weeks!!!! Everyone knows that if you want to bait a bear just set up a tree stand over your quad!!!

Not too bad for living in the city....man I need to get rid of some vehicles as I am running out of room and I need an 18 foot Lund Pro-V

Somebody should do a cost/benefit analysis a bout how much coin the outdoors community drops into the pockets of dealerships and gas stations alone with our big iron. I realize thou some of you guys are "subsidized" by work and business to support your your play - no hard feelin's though.
I'm not, that"s why I drive an 04 Dakota with a 6 cylinder 5 speed.

'96 Volvo 850 GLE . . . which I purchased used four years ago. It is about time to replace her with a different 10-year-old car though, as the electrical odds-and-ends are starting to go . . . thinkin' about a Subaru Outback as I want the all-wheel-drive, but just can't bring myself to drive a truck.

I have never had a car loan. I have never had a car lease. I buy 'em ten-years-old with cash, do a little maintenance here-and-there, and drive 'em till they fall apart. The Volvo has basically cost me around $125 a month, plus insurance. Sure beats the heck out of a $600 (or more) a month payment for five or more years!

I was in that boat with you, until 2 months ago, when my '85 Camry finally rusted out (needed tie rod ends, brake pads, rotors, calipers; body was rusted to heck). So, I've now joined the ranks of those who owe for their vehicles. I bought an '07 Ranger FX4, and have been enjoying it a great deal.

Wife drives an 01 Dodge Cummins 4x4.
I drive a 06 Subaru Outback and after well over 1.5 MILLION MILES in a dozen different vehicles it is the ONLY vehicle I actually enjoy driving. If I ever win the lottery I will own a Subaru Outback AND a WRX.
I spend a good portion of my life in either our John Deere 4230 or John Deere 4040 tractors.
We roam around the farm on our Honda 200M and we have a 1995 F-150 farm truck that is ugly as sin. An old cowboy friend once told me "Dave...purdy IS as purdy DOES." By those standards the Ford is still pretty.

Keep Your Powder Dry,
Dave.

2008 Colorado Ext. Cab, 4x4, Z71.

Love it. Compact, but not too small. Good on fuel as well. Its nice to have something you can dump a couple of dead animals in the rear, I tried the car thing, couldn't make it work.
