I drive a mazda 626 v6 and the worst thing is i think i am addicted to it. When i drive a v4 i am thinking that the car has a problem :))) just like the computers. 128 mb ram running XP always makes me think there is still malware in the system :)))))

'97 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, Black with the 6 cyl and SelectTrac. I would've liked to stick a green Streetglow neon kit on it for giggles but since it's not 100% legal I figure what the hell's the point.

Also have a Maroon '91 Olds Cutlass Ciera. Good 6 cyl engine on that. Still runs like a champ with zippy acceleration. A rear brake line burst on me a few weeks ago and I almost ran a stop sign with traffic coming, but it's ok now.

I drive a 94 Jeep Grand Cherokee 8 cyl 4x4 ( when i'm not pushing it ) temporarily.


Recently sold my baby------72 GMC JIMMY. She was mean, I drove it to SC from TX. Had to position fuel trucks along the way !!! But it was fun.
I've had a slew of GMC pickups.

Sounds like Mullet Man lives by the old rule " keep your friends close & enemies closer :)

yea..........but only when I was being arrogant & trying to run through 3 or 4 ft of mud in 2 wd !!!!! I've got some photos if I can figure out how to scan them. Last time that happened was 5 or 6 years ago & have pics . Wound up getting the pionts ign. wet & I was stuck. Took 2 Jeeps & a chevy 2 get it out ( 1st jeep had a 10k winch that broke & it was stuck--the 2nd broke the rear axle tryi'n 2 get us both out & the chevy was a wrecker !! ) .

After I grew up a little I got rid of the points for a 94 vette elec. ign. , K&N ext. air & rewired all tha crap that came with it. I wasnt able to finish the body, but mechanically it was bad a !!!

She had a 3" body lift, 8 " skyjacker susp 35" x 14.5" tsl thornbird tires on 15x10 hellcat wheels, & OH YEA CONVERTIBLE.

THIS WAS THE ONLY TRUCK I HAVE EVER HAD OR SEEN THAT DIDN'T GET STUCK AS LONG AS IT WAS RUNNING!!!!!!!

The only problem was that by the time I spent the cash to make it reliable, I never took it off-road .

Hi,

I drive a 2001 GMC 4 X 4 Sonoma Extra Cab and a 2004 BUICK Rendezvous SUV all-wheel drive. (both white)

I live up a long driveway (1/8 mile +) on top of a high hill in the snowy midwest. No all-wheel drive or 4X4.......no go up hill......no go home.......freeze to death at the bottom of my driveway trying to get up the hill. Oh, also drive a New Holland Tractor with a snow blade and front loader scoop to keep the snow less than hip deep to heap big Indian.
