What is your Other Car?

[comoxian]

Rob, my wife would give anything to have your car. The '65 Riv, that is. She won't let me buy another Mopar until I buy her one. And it has to be a '65, she won't settle for a '66 or '67. Some people's kids:angry7:.

My winter ride is an '86 F250, 4X4 with a four inch lift, a .040 over 460 at 11.5-1 comp on propane. It's got 4.56 gears and 33" tires. Steel winch bumper, with Warn winch, on the front, 4" steel nerf bars on the sides and double 4" steel tube rear bumper. Real steel not crappy bolt-on wannabe's.

As much as I love Mopars, I prefer the older Ford trucks. I never buy new, I figure they're disposable.

My wife drives a '92 Tracker. She wanted a convertible, and this is the best choice she ever made. Next to me, of course:toothy10:. It's a cute little blue with pink graphics and Winnie the Pooh trim inside. A real girlie car.

We almost have to have 4WD to get up the hill to our place if it snows at all.

We also have a couple Cherokee's in the yard that need minor repair, just haven't got the energy at this point.

Personally I just like nice cars, all of them.

I could not agree more. Hell, anymore I find myself checking out old station wagons, land yachts, and all kinds of crap that I would have thrown rocks at when I was younger. Now I just like to see any of the old cars on the road and being enjoyed as they were meant to be. I guess that makes me a "trader"... LOL!

Comoxian, mine's actually a 64, I had a 63 a long time ago, I really like the 65's too, the body on all three years is the same but the 65 has the hidden headlights and different tail lights. Quite a big change happened in 66. Do you ever get down to the Father's Day show and shine in Qualicum? I may be there in it :-D

 

[MopaR&D]

Our only other car besides "my" Duster is a 2003 Chrysler Town & Country. Only about 60,000 miles but only has had an A/C compressor go bad on us. As far as other brand cars go, I don't mind something else as long as it's desirable or uncommon (or both). I will never buy a newer run-of-the-mill Toyota or Honda (or even BMW, sorry don't like feeling like a snob unless it's HEAVILY modified and dirty:toothy10, if I need gas mileage I'll build an EFI slant-6-powered A-body or just get an 80's turbo 4-cyl. Mopar. Wouldn't mind an old Nissan Z or Toyota Supra though. If I hadn't gotten my Duster though, I would've gotten a 90's 4.0L 5-speed Cherokee. Every other kid at my school has a Wrangler or a Cherokee, and they are great cars. Last but not least, when I do start a family, I REALLY REALLY want an old late 60's Imperial. Man, those things are HUGE! And I bet comfy too...:-D

[66dartman]

I have had a 96 ranger 4X since 99 and it has been a good truck although underpowered. My wife has been driving a 90 celebrity with a 2.5 that I bought from the fire dept for $226.00 that will soon be retired. I just bought a 96 exploder with a 5.0 for $1300 that needed a trans. So I am head first in a Ford AODE right now! I only have the fords because that is what our fleet at work is and I have all the diagnostic tools for them as well as good contacts for parts, etc.

Believe me, I'm no BMW appologist - I have 7 Mopars to 1 BMW - but I LOVE my 540i. It'll outrun my Hemi 300c and did 0-60 in the low 5's from the factory, and close to mid 13's in the quarter. It's got a V8 and a 6 speed manual that is just amaizng to drive. It also handles like a 2-door compact. I've got some performance software and air intake. Not Riced out at all, and it probably does 0-60 around 5.0 now. Oh, rear wheel drive also.
