What else do you drive?

Sorry if this thread has already been done. I didn't see it but my search skills may not be up to par. I'm just curious to see what other cars you guys are driving. My '54 is a long way from finished and my daily driver is a 1971 VW Squareback. It's got a fuel injected 1776 in it. Whenever I go with the wife we take her boring 09 Camry. She said the VW makes her feel like she's on the ride Autopia, at Disneyland.



I used to drive this baby for work.

Well, that depends on what I'm doing at the time 94 F250 right now if I'm working, soon to be replaced by a 95 Dodge 3500 83 F250 woods truck if I'm at the river, or a 53 ****** Jeep if I wanna play in the mud
If I really want to get away for a few hours, I climb on my Harley and let the wind blow thru my hair and carry all of my worries away

Cool, Jeff I didnt know you rode? I got rid of my old Superglide several years ago, and almost quit riding, but just couldnt. I got an '03 1500 Suzuki Intruder now. I still dont ride enough to justify having a bike but have ridden alot more since becoming a PGR member. Nothing like being in the wind! I had wanted to get a trailer made in time to drag my bike down to PF with me and take it through the Dragon's Tale but just didnt get enough time to do all I planned.


Back on topic, my daily driver is a '94 F150 flare side king cab (I know boring, but it is what it is) At least it's a Ford!

My NEW car is a 1990 Mercedes wagon. The wife's car is a 1977 Mercedes 450SL.

The 56 gets the garage. The two Mercedes both park outside.

No car payments...ever.

Great question. I don't recall anyone asking that anytime recently.

This pic reminds me of a story in my local newspaper this past week. The Washington State Patrol just had a little party celebrating their 100th anniversary, and the oldest living retired trooper is from my community, where he also spent 12 years as Benton County Sheriff after his 30+ years at the WSP.He's now 92 years old. In the story, it said they gave him a ride across the state to Olympia in a current patrol cruiser, and he commented about all the gadgets and electronics, buttons and switches, etc. in today's patrol cars. He said in his day, there was just one button; on the radio mic.

My daily driver is a 2004 Mercury Marauder. One of 997 built finished in Silver Birch, out of a total production of about 3200 units. My knock-around utility vehicle is a 1985 F-250.


stock photo, not my actual car, but you get the idea.

That's an understatement. That car is fantastic. Not only do I have to deal with truck envy with trucks you guys have, now we add some major car envy.
