Other rides...

[Matt]

I'm sure some of yall are like me and have had/have a few other rides.

Post them up lol i've had like 14 cars/trucks in 9 years and down to only 2 and a bike at the moment, had 6 at one time.

Damn Matt...including my first shitty bike I've had a total of four trucks and two bikes (realistically 1 1/2). Let's see what you've had.

First truck:
'84 S10 2.8L Longbed
Got it when I was 15.5, sold after I got married and I was 22.
Dropped it all around but left it with rake. Repainted stock colors. Full sound system. New motor after original threw a rod through the oil pan. New trans. Completely refreshed interior (stock colors, just repadded and recovered.) Front end swap to a 92+.


Second:
'01 S10 4.3L ZQ8
Didn't ever do much as I only owned it 11 months.


Third:
'04 Dodge Ram Hemi 1500 QC
Not listing everything.
As I bought it:


Before I stripped it to trade it in:



'82 Honda Magna 750:
Beater piece that rarely ran for more than a few miles:


'96 Honda Magna 750: (currently owned)
Stripped accessories. Re-jetted carbs. Forward controls.

Yeah I want to see this lol

Here are my past vehicles.

My first vehicle was a 1989 Corolla GTS, 1.6L manual. It was a pretty fun and cheap car to drive during high school and much of college. I had a fender bender after a year of driving and ended up buying a $500 Ford Escort GT to drive while I was fixing it. Took a few months since I was in HS and was paying everything out of my pocket. I was glad to be back in the Toyota after driving the Ford. I put about 120k miles on that car in about 4 years, then some 16 year old in a Del Sol T boned me and totaled it.



Took the insurance money and bought a 1997 Ford Explorer, 4.0 V6 4x4. Drove it for about 6 months and could not stand it, biggest POS ever! Another one of the reasons I hate Ford. No pics of this one, it wasn't worthy.

Traded it in on a 2000 Dakota, 4.7L V8 manual. This is the vehicle that I miss the most out of any, I never should have gotten rid of it. There wasn't a single problem with it and it was a blast to drive with the 5 speed, just needed something bigger. It was lowered for most of it's life, I put the rear back to stock and leveled the front a few months before trading it in. Can't find any of those pics. Drove this one for about 2 years and 60k miles.



Traded the Dakota on a 2004 Ram, 4.7L auto. I really liked the look of this truck and it drove great, as long as you weren't pulling anything, it didn't tow for crap. I put in 4.56s and it helped but was never powerful enough for what I wanted. Also, it never got about 14mpg no matter how I drove it. Then one of the heads warped and instead of fixing it, I traded it in after driving it for less than 2 years and about 40k miles.



My wife's fist car was a 2001 Mustang V6 auto (Pictured behind the Dakota above). It was slow and I hated it, but she got it before I met her. Once she finished school and got a job, we bought a 2009 Mustang GT California Special. She drove that for about 2 years and 25k miles until I convinced her to trade it on the Charger.



Now we have the 2010 Ram and 2008 Charger SRT8 and I could not be a happier man. I see no trading vehicles in my immediate future.





That's all for my 10 years of driving. Never really added it up until now, but I have spent over 250k miles on the road in 10 years!

Love the Charger man and you know I like the truck. I don't see myself trading the truck anytime in the near future but I want to get my wife in something else.

agreed... those are slick

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

It's a toss between the Durango or a new JGC, which she loves.

I've tried to talk to her about it but she just says she's happy for now and doesn't want a higher payment.

BTW Morgan, as much as it pains me to say it, I would drive that '89 Corolla in a heartbeat. What a nice looking little import.

[Matt]
