What are you driving these days?

Any new additions?

I'll show you what the wife ISN'T driving for a while at least....

It's all permafrost right now. No temp above freezing in over a week. Might as well have run it into a boulder. Radiator is **edited** , good chance the oil pan is punctured and that the axles are bent as well.

just picked up on '02 Subaru wrx wagon.

Imagine there’s a picture of your favourite thing here.

^^So you're not living here in VA anymore?

Nope, bought a house up in rural Montgomery County, MD. I hate the fact that I live in MD, but the jobs of both me and my wife are here, and there's no way we could have afforded a 2500sqft house on 3/4 of an acre down in Fairfax or Loudoun counties.

I replaced my 06 Taco with a 2012 F150 FX4 (Opted for 5.0 over Eco Boost).
My work car got replaced in September of last year. It is a 2013 Fusion. I miss the extra 4 cylinders and room of my old land yacht, but it will get the job done.

Still driving my 1993 F150 that caught on fire this summer. It's sad, I used to keep the thing pristine but I really don't care anymore. I don't have the heart to get rid of my truck though. One day I would like to get it repainted.

I did get a screaming deal on an old car though. I'm bringing it home as soon as it gets warm enough and I have a Saturday off.

Tallen, it doesn't look too bad. It's possible the oil pan is toast but I wouldn't count on it. Also, it's highly unlikely the axles are bent unless the rocks directly hit one of them, in which case it would have taken out a control arms and such first. I wouldn't be surprised if its just a radiator and bumper.

I will say though, I really, really, really hope she didn't hit the trans. It's unlikely, but still possible. While aluminum isn't awfully brittle I saw several cracked fwd transmission cases at my shop this summer.

Still driving my '10 mustang for now.

Ditched my turbo kit and am now putting up for a Vortech supercharger. Otherwise, right now I've got Eibach springs, hurst shifter, Bama tune, 373 swap, CAI, and Flowmaster AT exhaust.

Hoping to hit the 450 RWHP mark in the next few months.

Still got the 05 tC. Girlfriend semi recently purchased a 2014 mazda 3 hatchback. I like it. The interior is well done and it looks pretty good on the outside. The red paint job looks great with the pearlescent flakes in it.

We won't really know until Monday at the earliest. We had to get to work and so we didn't stick around for the tow truck to arrive. The trail of plastic and metal left in her wake as she high-centered the the thing with her undercarriage resting firmly on a plowed ridge and her wheels sunk into the furrows of the corn field was pretty dramatic.

I tried to get her to buy a Subie back when she was looking at cars, but she had trouble with the clutch (subies are tougher manuals to drive than others with the AWD) and didn't want to get an auto, even though they all have CVTs with 6 speed manual mode now.

I think, when the time comes, she's probably going to go with a CrossTrek or a Forester next time.

This is what I currently drive:

We just traded momma's 10 KIA Soul for a 14 Ford Escape, and in the deal we also traded my 12 Nissan Frontier as well (a $600 a month sit in driveway do much of nothing vehicle) for a 01 Ford Ranger 4X4 extended cab. Momma is happier and I have a vehicle to get bikes here and there, and putter around town for less than $600 a month now for both.

I got my leftover 'new' 12 Honda XR650L for me, and momma is learning on my 12 Honda CRF250L. The 13 YZ250F is getting prepped for this year, and the Vintage 78 YZ400E is also getting a makeover for this years racing.
