2000 jeep Cherokee sport or the wife's Honda fit. From time to time the 98 ex-forest service Cherokee.
I also ride my bicycle as often as possible because it gets infinity MPG

Driving any of the vehicles you mention isn't a bad thing...being unemployed would be worse.

No it's not, I came close to selling mine a couple of times. Didn't really need the money (wife kept us going) but not knowing "how much longer" kept me wondering if I should. Even bought a couple for sale signs. Threw 'em away when I want back to work... 18 months later!

Glad to hear you made it back to work and didn't have to sale your truck!

Daily driver is a 2000 S-10 P.U. 4wd w/ 5-speed. I bought it new & never regreted it...good mileage & plenty of power with the 4.3 . Will prob. keep it for many more years...even after my 72 c-10 stepper is finished...nice to have at least one 4x4 in the stable.

Heres an older pic of my K5. 6.2 diesel/700r4. 20mpg. I had another one a while back that was identical, except it had the tbi 350. It got 12mpg, and I was constantly working on it. The 6.2 is peppier than the 350 too.

I love your truck. Mags and flames ... Perfection!

Sometimes when I'm putting my panel together in my head I think I would love some flames like yours ... maybe even further down the body

kingsolver72 · 01-09-2014, 01:05 PM

Thanks Mark, it was kind words of encouragement from you and others along with the photoshop you did on sketchy that I decided to keep the truck, at least for a time. It is a fun truck for sure.

Post pictures of the panel if you do flames.

jeh · 01-09-2014, 02:59 PM

I kind of have 2 daily drivers. Here is the first, 2010 F350 welding rig that I built a custom bed on it.

jeh · 01-09-2014, 03:02 PM

Here's the other one, I use it to beat around in when I'm home from work. It's a '97 Jeep Cherokee that I bought from my cousin for $CHEAP$

We used to have an 88. That thing would go anywhere. It would just about climb a tree with bald tires

1984 454 4spd fun and Strong AKA Big Black to bad im selling this one.

K10Scottsdale78 · 01-13-2014, 02:40 PM

Heres my DD. An 02 celica. Bought it because the gas mileage is awesome and its more fun to drive than other cars that get over 30 mpg. Probably gonna part with it after I finish college and get a GTO or a camaro or something along those lines

theastronaut · 01-14-2014, 08:02 PM

Mine is an original paint '64 sunroof bug. I've lowered it and bought a 90 hp engine with dual two barrels. Averages 29 mpg in town driving it hard, runs high nines in the 1/8th mile, and handles pretty good. I put 10-12k miles on it a year. Got it as my graduation present and took my drivers test in it.
