How about a bright red '98 Nissan Frontier pick up truck. Pretty cool, huh! Huh?

Ah come on, lighten up. It really is pretty cool. Trust me here. Honest. Four cylinder, five speed. Great gas mileage. Cool huh!

My daughter drives a Jeep Wrangler. Does that count for anything?

no matter how small I make the pics they are still too big to upload so here is a link with a few pictures of my truck. It is a Chevy Colorado Z71 I5 5 speed. I like it.

Until a few years ago I was driving a Merkur XR4ti. It reminded me a lot of the Buells; unique, underrated, built from parts sourced from all around the world, and no one knew what it was. Now I drive an Explorer Sport, it handles the snow better than the Buell.

'89 Mazda B2200 CabPlus pickup... a little rusty... lot's 'o miles... all of 85 horsepower (probably not at the rear wheels). I do all the work to keep it going. It runs great! And guess what... it's paid for!!! Wouldn't it be sad if it weren't! : ) I drive it 100 miles every day to and from work. I love my little truck. I'd post a picture... but I don't want to make you guys envious.

I am a Porsche dealer so I usually drive a ride from the stable, 911 or Boxster S. I have a BMW 3 as a personal car but it does not get used much.

I prefer the Buell anyway.

99, how do you like that little thing? Coming back from Japan, I did a double take seeing one of those for the first time - they are EVERYWHERE over there. Every company makes one that's virtually identical, but only Toyota (badged as Scion) brought them to the US.

Darth

I like it, its a fun vehicle. It handles suprisingly well, and has a large amount of interior room. I put the wheel tire combo on it and have a 1 1/2" drop waiting in the garage until after winter.

Craig,
I've been thinking about one of those! What's the power situation with it? Just adequate? Does the XB fit in the back of the XB?

Yes sir, that's my baby. Now living in France with UK plates on, how international is that?
Alternatively I've got a choice between an Alfa-Romeo 164, turbo-diesel (well over 230000 miles & still go's like a train)

or a FIAT Multipla turbo-diesel, which is oh so ugly but an absolutely superb car.

That is Ugly,

I am stuck with my old 95 Saab Convertible that Grumpy broke this summer, got stopped by the POLICE, etc, etc, etc......

But he is always welcome to come back and do it again!!!!

I have not tested to see if the XB will fit in the xB, but that would be cool. I basically use the car as a commuter and have no problems with the power. It does just fine, take one for an extended test and see what you think, just make sure that if it's an auto to keep your foot in it on the 1-2 shift.

Here's a quick update, the wife got home in daylight so I managed a shot of the Grumpy Fleet in front of Grumpy Manor.


PS. Newfie, I have a plan for June, still working on the details.

An 83 BMW 528e currently or if I'm on my way to a racetrack an 84 Ford B600 bus converted to an Rv with the SuperStock or the RX-7 iceracer on an open trailer so people can look at the scarred racecar. Dirt track racing being a contact sport it tends to go through body panels faster than I can afford them.

Dave G., I know exactly where that pic was taken, near Sea-Tac airport. What year is your 2CV?

My rides: '01 S-10 for commuting, '68 Chevelle Malibu for relaxing.
