What did you buy today?

And they are all garbage.

They don't make em like they use to. Wish I still had my 99 4Runner. Got rear ended & it was totaled.

What do you drive? SJ.

My dd (and yes it's because I want to) is a '95 Accord EX coupe, manual trans. I paid $100 for this car. Original engine and trans with over 600k on it. ODO stopped at 298 and change years ago. I love this car, I have 9 vehicles and none are newer than a '05. I've never known what it's like to have a car payment, and never will.

It's crazy how easy it is to total a vehicle, especially nowadays. Some vehicles we get at the shop, I just can't see how they thought it was a total loss.

I drove it home. Rear end was out of wack & tracked sideways, tailgate didn't shut correctly but it was drive able. Ins Co totaled it. 305k on it. That was 7-8 years ago. I was 2nd owner & got it at 106k.

We sold our 2006 wrangler, it was way fun at 1st, then went down hill pretty fast.

jeep wranglers.

Ever since the late 90's, I've wanted a Jeep Wrangler. Will never have one. No big deal. Nowhere to off-road anyway.

Don't waste your $.

That would be a bummer. Toyotas like those are legendary. Was in my Chevy Beretta when some speeding yayhoo in a full sized van used my car as a brake. Driver's side back smashed and the whole side he skimmed against. Was old, but insurance felt it would be a crying shame to total such a mint car with low miles, so I got it repaired. I miss my 84' Plymouth Gran Fury. First car. But, I swear, some people purposely run into you to ruin what you have. Usually happens when you shine em' up nice. Someone put a muddy footprint on my Beretta's freshly detailed paint in the parking lot. Had my vehicle keyed for being all pretty in the lots too.

That would be a bummer. Toyotas like those are legendary. I miss my 84' Plymouth Gran Fury. First car. Had no rust when I got it in late summer of 97.' 318 2bbl, then remanufactured 318 4bbl, then 440 TNT big block with 727. Wasn't practical after that. Had to go. Gas mileage and kept snapping the differential. That deceptive boxy thing could CORNER with added leaf springs at the back and front torsion bar front suspension adjusted with an air wrench. Open the hood and people would gasp "holy $h*t, what you got in that thing!?"

440/727 is a heck of a combo.

UGH! Needed a new system for the KXL. It sucks after getting the first max8 g2 sensored setup I feel like I need to swap them all to sensored.

What, may I ask, are you currently driving? I worked at a Chrysler Dodge jeep specific shop for almost 3 years and I can say without a doubt, there are more inherent design flaws and crazy electrical issues than any other manufacture.

Some of the daily routine working at a jeep shop. 4.7L with spun bearing.

5.7L roller rocker failiure, destroyed the cam. The parts for this went on intergalactic backorder for a good long while.

Hehe, we all do like the better stuff. I feel I'm missing out with the old Max 6's.

Still have one with maybe 2 packs through it in my Xmaxx.

One of the most overrated vehicles ever made. It's a large washtub pan on wheels.

The one thing I really liked about my 97 TJ was the inline 6 cyl. 4.0L. of course they discontinued that motor in latter years.

Dang emissions, they decided to drop the 3.8 out of the Caravan down in it. Spun bottom end bearings galore, no clue how many of those I had to do engine work on.

Gonna push my 04 liberty to 300k miles. It's got 231k and running strong so far. Although I could afford a new vehicle, there is nothing that appeals to me. There all junk!! And I'm not paying those ridiculous prices. At least I can work on my liberty.

Those things are solid. One got chased by the cops through my subdivision. Torn everything up. Every yard on my street. Took out mailboxes, including ours.
