What do you drive?

As the title of this thread states, what do you drive as your daily driver.

Post a picture or two so that we can all share

I will start this off by posting my two rides.

Here is my '01 F150 that is a few hundred miles shy of 100k. I have had some issues with things in the past but it has never left me stranded and has always started right up.








This is my wife's '08 Edge AWD SEL that we bought used in December with 7100 miles on it. It is a fun vehicle to drive and in my opinion is pretty snappy.

Here is a ride that would help you out with the future flooding ,

It was taken by my son at the Greenville Autoshow this year.

I wish it was my daily but alas it is not.

Neil, this is my daily driver pulling my son's truck home from the inlaws, his engine would not stay running, vacuum leak was the issue.

I think that most of us drive our wives crazy at some point. Just that others seem to do it all of the time, right Pat??

Usually, it's the first, the '97 Cougar 30th Anniversary Edition.

A lot of times, it's the second, the 2001 F250 SD V10 because it needs to get used and when I really need a TRUCK. Which is actually quite often.

It USED to be the third, the '74 highboy, but I had to scrap it, it was just too much of a mess body and frame wise after a while.

And then, before that, it was a 1977 Triumph TR7. Then a 1976 TR7. Then a '82 Ford LTD wagon, than back to the highboy, and then a '75 TR7, and then back to the highboy, and then, well, you get the idea. Lots of Fords and TR7's

Thanks, and it still looks like that, even though that picture was taken about 5 years ago. I don't know what kind of paint they used, but I hardly wax it, it's ALWAYS outside, and the paint is still almost perfect except for scratches/pits it's gotten from impacts. I read somewhere that the 30th Anniversary Cougars after a certain point in time were manufactured at a Lincoln plant in Wixom, MI. And the white ones were SUPPOSEDLY done there. But my sticker (and VIN) shows it was manufactured April (17?) 1997 in the same old Cougar plant every other one was made at (Lorain). And, it's in Crystal White Tricoat Metallic, which is also supposedly not real. I have the sticker in front of me

Interesting, sounds like a little detective work needs to be done
