99_XC600 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Mine - 2013 Chevy Cruze ECO. I have a daily 75 mile commute (Mostly Highway) and I purchased it when gas was almost $4.00 a gallon. I get about 40 MPG during the week and about 600 miles per tank. Her's - 2005 Jeep Liberty Sport. Owned it for about 6 years and It's been a great vehicle. Currently has about 160k on it, She's saving up for JK Unlimited. Probably going to get rid of it in January. Not sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryNY Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I just picked up an S3. It's basically an upscale Golf R underneath, not that there is anything wrong with that. It's a sweet little motor, and they seriously underate the horsepower. 292HP and AWD for all season fun and it's been tested at 4.4 to 60... I think it's closer to 350HP. All that and it gets over 30MPG and a usable back seat and the pop up LCD for the Nav makes me giggle! It goes like stink but looks like any other of the zillion Audi's here in the North East so it doesn't stand out too much.ETA - because this is the TIA board...I already checked to see if a 2x4x8 can fit through the fold down rear seat and up on the dashboard; it does with room to spare but moving blanket required 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearuk1 Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 2007 MINI Cooper S, no mods yet but got plans for JCW exhaust and maybe a Brembo brake upgrade. I'm 6'2" and 350lbs and it always makes people laugh when I say I drive a MINI, but its comfortable and as much as its a cliche it drives like a go-kart and I drive round with a permanent cheesy grin on my ugly mug! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgraded injectors, injection pump, tune, and rear airbags inserted into the springs to tow my 5x10 enclosed trailer set up for my trim work business.50mpg highway all day long46mpg city32mpg towingNice!I had a '98 Jetta with the diesel in it. I put a taller 5th gear in the transmission and got 55 mph out of her. It ended too soon.I used to work in a garage but got sick and tired of the work so I don't consider myself automotive inclinedMy vehicle is '01 F-250 with the 7.3 Powerstroke. I put a veggie fuel system in and actually this makes it vehicle number 3 that I've owned and run on veggie oil. Have a regular little "refinery" to filter and what have you.Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunk driving ruins everything.that happened to me, too, except I was driving my vehicle, at 65mph, walked away with a bad whip lash and concussion, couldn't believe it wasn't worse. The other vehicle flipped upside down when I slammed into it. And I was 4 hours away from home. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whaddaya think of vans for your work?Sent from my SCH-I535 using TapatalkI've never used one. And around here where I live no body uses vans. Just a few painters. What kind of work do you do? Is it hard to get ladders and materials off the ladder racks? If seen this thing that lets the rack come down the side of the van. And swings back up on top. But I haul a lot of materials some times. Send a pic of your van. If you can? I would really like to see it. Cause I have thought of getting one. Miller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEtwidget Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I used a van back in my cable tv install days. I remember my grandfather had a van a long time ago for carpenter work. He always had a box of bubblegum stashed away for us kids, would be creepy now n days for an old man to hand out candy from a van. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Just like but mine's dually. I work for plumbing/hvac company. I imagine putting racks on one side of the van inside for tools, and leave the rest for material. It's got 13'6" or so inside lemght and at least 6'3" height. Thats a lot of lumber stuffed inside! One problem might be if your winters get bad- no 4x4 on the van, unless you can find one already modded withSent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
