The Car/truck you are driving now thread!!

Dam I could sport that!

03 toyota 4 runner or 97 ford f250 when hubby lets me. ..he loves that truck!

Have a 97 F150.... He treated me so well that I bought a bigger engine for him 3 years ago. Still only 145,000 miles on the 97 parts.

97 was a good year!!! My 150 is from 97

I don't let my chick drive it either lol

I may go full size on the Ford thanks for the thought? But not a V8. If a Tacoma or a good priced Frontier pop up I may do that too.

You got 145,000 mile out of a ford engine?

I got 250,000 out of my f-150... great truck... buy ford..

volvo 240

That's awesome. I really hope this Ranger wets my whistle! its been awhile since I went car/truck shopping.

I hear good things about Volvo's too. Bet if they made a truck it would be nice.

Yeah. He had the option to buy newer and chose a 97 because it is the last year that you can truly do most work on your own and he likes the body style. It's grown on me. He looks good driving it ;)

Trying to sell my 02 Lexus LS430

While im trying to sell that ive down graded to a 2000 Subaru Outback Limited. I love Subaru's and have had many. Gonna miss the Lexus though but need the money.

The previous engine would have lasted as I know who has my old engine and it still runs perfect. Garage kept for 10 years

i wish they made them. they make tractor trailers, damned good ones.

Awwww! you are a great wife! Hope he lets you drive it more often!! The Ranger I am looking at is fully loaded interior has that half leather half wetsuit material mix.

Lol I wish I could buy newer but being that it was my first new anything, I can't bare to part

It's been so long for me. I'll probably never sell it. 382k miles!! Damn son. It's hard to get that high mileage living in key west lol

Keep in mind a lot of new cars and trucks aren't like they were. I just bought a toyota sequoia and absolutely love it. Was a chevy truck guy and family. Not anymore. They're pos now. The problems they have are irreversible and expensive. Big deal stuff like oil pump that's under the intake Etc. can't go wrong with yotas. Cars or trucks. Have a camry too now. My bro has a full chassis prerunner Tacoma with t100 rear end. Full blown race truck suspension but stock motor etc. and it's hot about 200000offroad miles. Finally broke rear differential last week. Rangers are horrible trucks for my family. Owned 3 of them. All needed transmissions or other big deal items. And a/c sucks. Toyotas air conditioning works so good here in az. Blows steam if wondow is down.

lol! yep 382k got the truck in 95 with 28k and she went from there. I am taking the chrome badge on the tailgate in memory of this sweet little thing. Dealer will take it for 500 no questions I am sure they will scrap her.

I would love a Toyota any truck 03 and above but nothing at the lot I am going too. I am desperate I need a ride and old girl will not make it much farther. I will heed your advice on the Ranger so I will make sure to get a good look over before I drop any coins. Thanks for the input.

I'd be so torn, sorry brother. If you have to, you have to,.

If I was well off, I'd give you a grand and store it for you for when your ready to get it back. However I'm not and my chick deserves a ring which every last cent is being saved for.

Which state?

You are a fucking good man and a very lucky lady you got there. That's another issue I rent so I have no space to keep her because I dam well would she would be a knockout in say another 10-15 years with new paint and a new engine. They built them well the last year of the square bodies in 92. Swear to god I want to cry as silly as that sounds. She took me to and from in the best of places and darkest never failed. Thank you for those kind words brah!!

I am in Caligulafornia. Best state for fresh fuckery and Mexican food.

Southern Cali?

I could drop a new engine and trans in for around 1500 but with just my truck and a very busy wife and her car a 09 Altima Coupe their is just no way I could pull it off. Wife gave the green light on the buy so its breakfast then the lot. Sales guy is rolling out the red carpet will add a 2 year warranty 100 dollar gas card and 2 free oil changes. Poor guy I know he really needs this sale.

Correct. Carlsbad to be exact.

And this is why I always come back to this site. I may not be able to afford a membership anymore but I love the people here. Your not alone in the struggle, we just haven't met yet

If you do sell your truck, I'll call your local bar and 3 beers are on me

To be honest, my grandfather just went blind and lives near Escondido. I believe he has his ranger still, maybe an 04 buts that's just a guess. Maybe you could make a deal. Mothers Day coming up so I can ask her what's up. I would love to help a GLPer out

Just call on me brother if you ever need backup! I will gladly share my membership powa with you. You know I never gave her a name but she deserves one. Long bed v6 with the better 4.0 motor. I went cheap on her the last two years with oil and other fluids and I think she felt that. I bet she could take me to Florida if I coaxed her into it? She was solid steel a real mini beast but time has gotten to her like it will to me. Bet I don't sleep tonight.
