I have a 2017 Subaru BRZ w/ performance pack (almost a ts). Unless you have driven this in the city or on a track, you have no idea how much fun this rig is. Handles like on rails. Holds the road like gorilla tape. Is it fast? If it was any faster, I would probably have wrapped myself around a telephone pole by now. One more thing, this buggy goes in and out of traffic like a go cart on steroids such that after 6 months of ownership, I have not even put on the radio yet. Too distracting. If I may quote my 14 year old grandson, “With a car like this, who needs an amusement park.”

My fun ride--Aprilia Scarabeo 500. Shown here before the 2017 Gentlemen's Ride (raise funds for prostate cancer research). It's far better than my Mazda3 for photo wanderings where roadside opportunities abound but parking is dicey.

Mazda MX-5 Club Sport, 6MT.

Top down (what other way is there to motor?) on Pacific Coast Hwy between LA and San Fran.

 
Feb. 28, 2011. Picked up my new Volvo S60 T6 AWD in Gothenburg, Sweden at the factory. We spent 13 great days driving around Denmark and Sweden, before dropping it off for shipment to Seattle.

My winter DD is a 1995 Geo/Suzuki Tracker.

It's ugly... especially since drop painting it brown.

4x4 works great as well as the heater and lights.

Installed a lowrange 2" lift around Christmas and it has a really nice tow bar for our RV although we plan to sell both this summer.

My summer ride is a very clean 1990 Dodge D150 that gets a lot of looks! It's the cleanest body I've seen around Michigan and I try not to drive it on our salty roads.

On the weekends you'll catch us in our 1983 Chevy G30 Class C Camper. It's been a labor of love for me. More time spent on my back in the gravel on the side of the road than I will ever admit to! I do love driving it and hearing the dually whirl at speed (55mph). I will be sad handing over the keys but we are downsizing to a teardrop and beginning to build our dream "Tiny House".

Google images or a peek out at the neighbors driveway will pretty much cover photos! Nothing exotic in our corral!
 
'06 Ford Explorer that I bought in '09 with less than 22,000 miles on it. I've had it for 8 1/2 years now, and it's still under 113,000 on the odometer. But when I want to get around, it will take me just about anywhere. Except where the Jeeps go (they tend to tear up the fire roads).

My old beater F-150. 24 years old and a zillion miles. It just keeps on going.

You should file your record to Ford.
I read somewhere that an old man driving a Mercedes G500 557,000 miles for 26 years and recognized by Mercedes-Benz. Link here

Before 'Otto' gets his definitive space in the Mercedes-Benz Museum, he's going to be sent out on the road again for two years from the end of February 2015 - travelling around the Mercedes-Benz Centres and company-owned sales and service outlets in Germany and Europe. 'Otto' will accompany a touring exhibition developed specially for the vehicle, recounting his interesting stopovers and most impressive experiences. The tour is likely to kick off in Munich in February 2015 – details of other dates can be found at www.mercedes-benz.com.
 
I'm driving my wife, nuts. Because every time I'm taking picture of her it is no good.
