Speaking of Kahrs - What do you all drive?

[gb6491]

Hi all,
Anyone want to join me in a little "show and tell" about their car, truck, bike, etc?
Here's my 1984 Jeep CJ7; it's a fairly capable vehicle and a lot of fun out here in the desert.

Then there's the "Not-quite-right" YJ (1989 Jeep wrangler). It was wrecked at some point before it came to me and is a little off kilter (not to mention under powered with a TBI 4 banger), but it's got heart. The ride might be an adventure, but it's always gotten us home.

Speaking of adventure: you never know what might turn up in the boonies around here, so the CW45 always rides along (often accompanied by a self loading rifle).
Regards,
Greg

Around town and back and forth to work, a 2009 smart fortwo Brabus coupe



And for towing the toys or when we both go to the range:

2005 Subaru Baja, show here with a Vespa GTS250 on the trailer:

Mostly I drive my old 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I put a nice thumping stereo in it, the thing runs like a top with almost 200k miles on it.

Sometimes I spoil myself and drive the truck. It's an 08 Ram 2500 with a Cummins 6.7/6sp std. I mainly use the truck for towing or hauling, had it for 2 years and it's only got 4k miles on it.

Toy hauler with my previous Diesel truck

The toy that goes in the box.

Not mine in the picture, but same model/color:



A lot more fun than the Mrs. mini-van. I am not rich enough for a third car but if I ever am will probably do a fun 4x4. I really like the FJ Cruiser Trail Teams edition. Gotta save some pennies though...

Here's ole blue. I give her to a new derelict in town that was in a car accident and ended up worse off than me. She was my ole carpenter rig and used to be right pretty. Setting out in the yard for a year umoved didn't help her beauty much but she still runs like a good chevy should. Can't find a picture of her replacment, I'll keep looking.

I just have a little 05 Colorado, no power anything, four doors and no back seat, with a 5 spd transmission. It does all I ask, and comes back for more. Not a bad little truck with a 4 cyl. At least it doesn't cost me a large fortune at the gas pump.

Love the toy in the box. Makes me long for the old days for sure.

Here's ole blue's replacement, they threw in a sack to wear over my head so people wouldn't see me driving an F word rig.
I thought I'd name it Whitey Tighty but it's gone 5 or 6 years without a name so maybe nameless is ok?

[Bawanna]

Well that picture sucked. Tried to resize the darn thing myself. I'll wait on my people to do a proper resize and try again.

Some nice rides folks! Thanks for posting them

dademoss,
I see they have your Brabus coupe rated with a top end of 90mph. Have you ever had it up near that? If so, how did it handle? That wheelbase looks pretty tight for that kind of speed Pretty neat looking car.

Bigcube,
Wow, you have got to love all that Mopar muscle. The Dart Swinger is quite a machine

BTW, my better half's daliy ride is a Grand Cherokee, been a good vehicle for us:


got2hav1,
Drool, seems to me that a Corvette is the perfect accessory for a Kahr pistol, especially one that nice.

John,
Another MoPar; very nice, the Border Patrol runs them out here (and in Cali as well: US Border Patrol #E83704 - Dodge Charger on Flickr - Photo Sharing! )

jlottmc,
"I just have a little 05 Colorado, no power anything,..."
Devil Dog, no power anything is a test of manhood
I have a little 89 Dakota with manual steering that can give quite a workout in tight spaces.


Bawanna45cal,
"Here's ole blue. I give her to a new derelict in town that was in a car accident and ended up worse off than me...."
Ole Blue looks to have been setup nicely and well maintained; a capable vehicle.
Kudos on your generosity sir.

Regards,
Greg

GB, I sure like your neighborhood. Real pretty country. Seems like where that Jeeps parked would be a great home sight if a guy could find water.

Oh, you weren't shooting for sub-postage stamp size??
LOL.

Thanks for the compliments... had that money pit for over 20 years. Sadly I think it's time to find a new owner, my priorities have changed a bit in the last couple of years. I haven't done much with the Dart since 07. I post on a few mopar boards and a few other racing boards. Haven't made it to forabodiesonly in a long time.

My ride is a 2005 GMC Savana AWD Van. After driving AWD Aerostars since 1990 when they came out, I've always wanted a full-sized van with AWD. I got it with everything they had for accessories that I wanted. I have the left-hand doors that are no longer offered. I was always worried about having too few choices for bailing out of the van in an emergency.
It has OnStar, too. With only the second rear seat in, there is over 7 feet to the rear doors. It's my/our RV when I put in all of the necessities.
It has a 5.3L (325 cubic inches) Vortec engine that gets around 12mpg around town and 15-16 on the road at 80 or so MPH. I have the best Radar Detector for when I'm in a hurry -- the Valentine One, which tells you the direction and how many bogeys, not just "Beep".
It's a great vehicle for travel and has a 31+ gallon tank. I drive it like a sports car around town. I have almost 30,000 miles on it and it will be six in August. I got it in September -- fast order... shocked the salesman.
I like having "space"... my own... wherever I go. If you're not driving, you can move around and do stuff.
I hate flying anywhere and would rather drive, but my wife works and we don't have the time to drive to Colorado to see her folks. I would love to carry all of my Kahrs out there and show her relatives how they shoot. That's the only trouble... I can carry anything with all of that space... and I try to.
