What's everyone rolling around in these days? Whether it's your trusty daily, a weekend cruiser, or something on your wish list, let's see those rides! I'm still cruising in my Honda Accord after all these years. Could upgrade, but I kinda enjoy the freedom of no car payments. What about you?
 
My K5 '81 Jimmy is my boat putherinner, and boat pullheroutof the water. My '03 Tacoma TRD is my range vehicle. My Lexus RX hybrid is for long trips, and my Toy Rav4 is my daily driver.
 
I am covering the gamut.
A diesel Ram. A gas FJ. A Tesla. Even have an old 4 runner that I can pull the computer crap out pretty easy and make run.
Then there are the tractors without computers, the SxS, and the horse and a couple of ponies.
 
All 4runners had electronic fuel injection, correct? I know my first edition did.
I don't know, it's my wife's mess. I told her not to buy it.

Somebody painted it with tar I told her the only way to make it look better was to get tan and green paint and make it camo. But she likes the way the back window goes down.
I found the exact model in decent condition for 4500 but was a standard. She could have used the current for parts.

Worse part, she made me get rid of my 2000 Boxster S with a blown motor.. I was waiting for a restore mod kit to come out. I always thought that car was a good one for an electric conversion.
 
I drive a 2013 Honda Fit. Manual transmission. iVTEC. 106 ft-lb of torque. 2,500 lbs. curb weight. It is simply a blast to drive. So far, I have been able to do all the maintenance on it myself. Two weeks ago, I cleaned and lubed the front disc brakes.
 
I still running my old bronco

I don't have a car. I borrow my wife's car or my youngest daughter's car when I need to.

I only go out on Sunday for Church and once a month to the Range. Once or twice a month I go to the American Legion Post.

I still play the Lottery so a big win for me would mean I get a Cadillac sedan.
 
I have had to talk my wife down a couple times from buying this vehicle The same guy does a lot of her mods. I give her credit, she does 50% herself, gets the guy to do the rest
He bought our old land cruiser and turned it into a super truck.
He was my go to guy for adding solar to my camper for advice.

I really got interested in those FJ's, but the more I read up on them, I decided to save my money.
 
@xchecker For many years, when I was younger, I used to daily drive a motorcycle. Couldn't afford a car. My first was a 1980 Honda 750F, so it was a generation later that yours. It also had a handlebar-mounted Shoei fairing and crashbar like yours. Did some camping on it, but no hunting or fishing.
 
@Marrk. Thanks, I have a long time friend who is a renowned 750 restorer. He has had several of his Restorations featured at the Peterson Museum here in LA and the Guggenheim World motorcycle tour. Did almost all of the work myself, but I had some experienced help.

I know the history. Honda changed the world with the CB750 ... the NSX ... the S2000 (but nobody noticed the time).
