All my vehicles are gas guzzlers and it sucks. I just can't stand the thought of not driving a 1 ton 4WD pick up with a 5.4 liter motor or my jeep with the 4.0. I hate cars. Especially dinky ones that I barely fit in. You can't do anything like hunt or fish or camp out of a car very practically. Two 100 pound dogs will destroy a small cars interior.

I was thinking more about my little elf of a wife but since I always drive I would have to take the door off and leave myself hanging half out of the car...Heck most cars the are great on gas end up being a "fat guy in a little coat" chris farley routien when I get in them.

I had a 2004 Ford Ranger fx4 Level II 4wd pick up. I loved that thing but had to get rid of it because my head hit the roof one too many times. Hence my F250 I currently drive.

Classic ride!

Let's just say I laugh histerically at any potholes, bumps, and railroad tracks riding that thing. Bring it on! 90% of the times though I drive a 93 Volvo 850 and it feels like driving a blender in comparison.

Man, Volvo's run forever! Getting a half million miles on them isn't that rare.

gibberj2 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 17, 2006, 10:46:51 AM »

this 93 has 125k on it. it's a good car but not smooth like the battle ship.

A man could live in that Continental if he had to. By the way gibber, are you a pimp?

gibberj2 · « **Reply #15 on:** August 17, 2006, 12:32:34 PM »

No. That Lincoln has only had cuban owners by the way. Cubans make good pimps.

Thats a kick ass car. No body messes with a bodybuilder that drives a Lincoln Continental.

hey everybody he called me a bodybuilder

The car gets much respect.

try driving a 1 ton 4wd dually with a 7.4 liter engine.

It's not affecting me.
But i don't care for paying $75 to fill up either.

and i don't think we are paying $3 a gallon becuase of a supply and demand issue. I think we are paying it becuase of the war we started in iraq and to help the some 15 energy companies further line their pockets.

and that's BULL SHIT!

A V10 gas powerplant or a big diesel?

gibberj2 · « **Reply #24 on:** August 19, 2006, 12:10:43 PM »

why do they sell it at 3 bucks a gallon? because they can.

OK guys what do you think of this? My every day car 93' Volvo I'm gonna give back to my sister when she gets her driver's license. I saw a 91 Coupe Deville for $1500. 138K miles. Good buy?
