Cars

[piece-itpete]

The musk thread got me thinking about something I really love: Cars.

Fat skinny big small weird normal new old.

I currently own a pretty nice 1991 MB 420SEL (the family year around mover), a beautiful 1990 Chevy Silverado single cab 2wd longbed (my non-winter daily, yes I use it for work), a somewhat ragged out 1993 single cab 4wd S-10 (winter work truck) and a mint 2006 BMW 325CI convert.

I can afford to drive the old cars and Germans because I do most of my own repairs and maintenance (the old trucks are still 'relatively' cheap at the shop but rebuilding/refreshing systems can still have a fair cost. Taking the Germans to the shop is a fool's game).

And a 1952 Fergusen TO30 tractor (big yard, use mostly the 3-point 72" finish mower)

I recently sold my 1976 Triumph Spitfire and got my wife the Beemer so we'd still have a 'fun' weekend car (and the MB is starting to show wear). Unfortunately that means it's a auto. Still pretty fun to drive. Nothing like the spit though, that had a 4 speed, adjustable suspension and a high ratio manual rack & pinion steering (A BLAST).

For work I also rent a ton of cars. I'll talk more about them.

What do you drive?
