On sunny days, my '76 Vette.

For mileage, my 5 speed '89 Cutlass Supreme



For winter and off-road type fun, my '90 Wagoneer

As of March 2005, my DD is a 1999 Nissan Sentra with a mountain motor 1.6 liter 4 banger and it still gets around 34 MPG. I have put over 11,000 miles on it since I got it already.

'04 "Special Value Edition" Cavalier. The only option was a $15 ash tray/coin holder that sits in one of the cup holders. 32+ mpg though.

1998 Dodge Dakota w/ the 318.

It doesn't have 4WD and does two things well in the snow: Jack and Sh*t!

My daily driver is either my 86 Corvette, or my 95 Explorer, depending on the weather, or what I am doing after work.

For my long distance cruiser, ( San Jose to LA to see my kids) I have a Mitsubishi 3000GT.

My 72 and 73 are my weekend play toys when I want some quality time to myself.

KDF.

Schwinn High Plains mountain bike bought at a police auction for $31. Takes only 10 minutes longer to ride the 10 miles each way than to drive. A sad commentary on the lack of traffic light synchronization around here.

2000 Silverado with the 4.8 liter v8. No cruise, no power locks or windows. Rubber mat instead of carpet, short bed, standard cab. Not an exciting ride. It also came with a cassette player. Anyone have a stock G.M. cd am/fm for sale?

I try to drive the Corvette as much as possible, but my other car is a '96 Maxima similar to this one:


I have the stock grille, and I don't have the ground effects, but it is white, lowered and has those wheels.
