There's some nice vehicles here,I myself drive a Vauxhall corsa that I bought last year for £300 quid. Befor that I walked or rode to work it was only my back trouble that made me buy it.despite its price it's never let me down and I've only had to replace the battery when I got it.im going to run it till it dies.

Nice My old neighbor had one, most I got with it was a drive around the block, but it was pretty slick.

For me, it's my Jeep:

'03 Wrangler, which, sadly, spends far too much time in that messy garage. Working from home, most of my driving is done with the family, which means our Honda minivan...

Nice looking TJ. I have a 2000 TJ Sport in yellow that I love. It needs some work to clean it up, but I love driving it. I love driving it more than my 2013 JKU, which is a much better truck in every way.

You can't beat a TJ!

Agreed!

I almost went with yellow when I got mine. I've had this college. Definitely some sentimental attachment, on top of the whole unbeatable thing

I still drive my Hyundai Matrix (13 years) but my son got his driving license and he wants it. So it is time for a new car. My wife wants a SUV, my goverment wants all my money in taxes to pay debts, I want a cheap and roomy car, for the city, the highway and unpaved streets, with reasonable mechanics and all the basic equipment and out of the equation came Dacia Duster 1.2 TCe 4x2. I like my cars as I like my SAKs, utilitarian and capable and I believe this is the right thing. I had a Renault Clio for 12 years and this thing is based on the Clio (as is the Captur) so it looks familiar.
Has anybody used it? It was popular in Britain as a diesel. And in Romania I guess.

Have been driving this for 9 years. Done numerous road trips, hauled bicycles, bikes, furniture, pregnant ladies, baby's first drive home and now it's my beater car

I even got a personal loan using this as equity.

My other car is the one you see in the garage. Will post a pic of that later. Anyone heard/seen a Buell?

We have two cars.

My wife has the Ford Focus (Caravan) - she needs more space when doing the shopping and with our son it is more practical due to the baby drive and all the things you need.

I have a VW Polo for my daily drive to work and all the things I need to do. Great little car that doesn´t need too much gas at 100 km. It is a great piece of vehicle.

I almost cried along with Eric when Harley Davidson gave him the axe.

Correct, they are V Twins. Basically Harley engines in a sports bike designed by Buell. They are limited in numbers now because they stopped making them. I almost sold mine a few years ago. Glad I decided to keep it. The most interesting thing in this bike is that the gas tank is fake and the fuel goes in the frame.

Haha, I have never seen that before. In the end Buell could not compete with Japanese and European bikes. Going with Harley looked like a good idea at the time but their engines was a let down. Even a 600cc Japanese bike is faster than the 900cc Buell. It was all about handling but most kids who buy sports bikes want to go fast on the straights so the selling point was lost.

Pretty nice police car. Is that an M series?

ToolJoe · **Reply #448 on:** February 08, 2016, 05:54:04 PM

Erik Buell was an engineer with Harley in the early 80s and worked on the FXR model (IIRC) and then branched out and eventually founded Buell. Harley bought a stake in Buell and had an association with them and once they found out it wasn't working, they sold it off.

In other news, I drive a 2010 Mazda 5. Great SAK of a vehicle that hauls everything in the sun and passengers.

Aloha · **Reply #449 on:** February 08, 2016, 06:02:59 PM

Mazda has come out with some nice models, the 5 in particular.

I was one of those sport bike riders that liked light Japanese bikes. I was really into the 600cc CBRs which for me was a great mix of DD and back road fun.
