and my current daily driver a 97 Grand marquis!
1994 Jeep Cherokee, way more modifications than it was worth. Daily driver, weekend trail warrior. Admittedly it was setup more for trails than road use by the time I was done with it. Ford axles (go figure) with Detroit's and 4.56's, long arms from RE, 35's on a tiny hybrid homebrew 4" lift with severely trimmed fenders, Grand Cherokee leather seats, Dodge truck transfer case internals, 21-lb injectors,.... The list was huge. Bought her in 2006 from the original owner and only 76,xxx miles on her. Over the next five years she acquired well over 200,000 - a very significant amount due to wheel spin off-road. Without a doubt, THE MOST reliable vehicle and drivetrain I have ever owned to this day. 4.0 straight six, AX15 5-speed manual and an NP231 transfer case. The stock Dana 35 never failed me because I had it's replacement built and ready in the garage before I even got the Jeep home.
Without a doubt, the vehicle I most regret selling - even though it's sale provided the seed money for my Chevelle. I loved that Jeep, and I will always miss her.
Day I brought her home:
The last wheeling trip before she went to a new home the new month:

You got that right! Especially the most reliable ever... I just can't bring myself to ever get rid of it. I talk like I might, but just can't. Approaching 200k on the clock... I figure she ain't even broken in yet. Pretty much trails and camping only!
Right on GTFun, the XJ is a great, solid, reliable vehicle platform.
Especially once you get some unibody stiffeners, once I had them welded on I thoroughly enjoyed the lack of body creaking and being able to open and close doors when flexed a little bit.
Oh, lots of cars and trucks prior to the Ex... the last PREVIOUS vehicle was a 2004 Chevy Suburban Z71 in black (g-ride looking thing).
Something went wonky with the heater core inside the dash and the driver's side blasted 100+ degree air while the rest of the truck was 70 degrees while the A/C was running.
We were quoted 2-3k to fix with the entire dash having to come out... so we traded it in on a Mercedes R350 for my wife and I got my current 2002 Excursion.
1. 2003 6.8 Excursion 118k miles - sold for literally peanuts in 2012 and regret it all the time.
2. 2004 6.0 Excursion 78k miles - alive and slowly being deleted
3. 2004 2.0 Jetta 93k miles - I own it and brother drives it
Possible #4 - looking for a good condition Suzuki samurai to transform into a dedicated weekend warrior (don't laugh me off the forums)
'97 Mustang Cobra Convertible. I miss this car, actually.
This is "W" (Pronounced Dub-Ya). This is the newest addition to my collection. 2005 VW Jetta TDI. Sitting at like 40 MPG. I think I offset my fuel consumption now :-p
