I drive a silver grey Mazda Premacy, my 23 years old son Rneé drives a 1984 Mazda RX7. This weekend he was at the race track Zandvoort, on a club meeting.

I also have a Silverado for pulling the camper and boat and for work in the winter when the roads are too icy to ride the bike.

Well this thread has rested for a while, maybe it could stand re-activation. :)

Drive an '05 Nissan Xterra SE 4x4.
It's handy, can pull a trailer, and has pretty good get-up-and-go for a body-on-frame SUV.

Sometimes though I wish I'd have kept the little Ranger pickup for utility and supplemented it with a 335i. 8)

A 2007 Chevy Duramax diesel 3/4 ton pickup. It weighs nearly 7000 lbs., can tow 14,500 lbs., and I regularly get 19-20 mpg on my daily commute. I love my Duramax! :D

I drive a car that gets better mpg than my R. 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid. I could probably get better mpg from the R, but what fun would that be? :badgrin:

Same here, but mine has only 80K. How did you get so many miles on yours? I only put gas in mine once or twice all summer. It's sooo much fun in the snow though, with a set of Hakka RSi's :biggrin:
