Isn't it funny some of the jalopies some of us drive?? There are some extremely nice rides on this forum and here you hear about all these old land yachts or rice burners being driven around while the Hoes and Kons stay parked in the garage :lol:

I may end up landing my grandma's 91 caprice (with 44k miles on it) to beat around in before long.....

I have a '98 VW Diesel Beetle. 45-50 Mpg. Use it for daily 100 mile round trip to work. Even with the Beetle, I still put on almost 20k a year on the burb.

My beater is a 91 Buick Skylark Roadster with a cloth top and blue velor interior. She aint pretty, burns a little oil. But she gets me from point A to B and back again. 65 miles round trip a day. I paid $1k 2 years ago for it with only 25k miles on it. It sat for years and I get almost 30MPG out of her....

The Yukon is sleeping at home.
