    Yeeouch! I put 50 bucks in the Suburban this morning & got just over half a tank... :cry:

    Oh well, the peace of mind is worth it. I bought it for my wife who drives it every day. It's nice to know that she's in big heavy car thats likely to keep her safe during an impact. Plus we have a lot of snow & ice around here & steep hills, so the 4x4 is really nice.

    it isnt overly fancy , but i like my tundra. finding rims was near impossible. toyota has a totally different bolt pattern, so i only had 2 styles of rims to choose from. but im happy with what i got. i think it added a nice touch to it.

    That looks like my girlfriend's parents' truck...which is a scary thought. I didn't see a tank in their house though, and they don't live in Canada...dang it. I could have had Guy as a relative without even knowing it.

    Wow. Digging the truck divott! I like the look of Tundras myself and the rims are a sweet touch. Very nice.

    My old ride:

    [​IMG]

    Was a nice 2000 Grand Am GT1, 3400 Bored out to 3.6L, ported/polished head, Borla custom exhaust, 2400W stereo, benbo brake system, blue LED accent lights... was my baby. I could hit the 135mph governor uphill against a stiff wind. Total sleeper, I used to stomp mustangs on the weekends, never took it to a legal track... I was young and stupid.

    Some ass hat broke in and set it on fire, torched my Graduation Portfolio from school, 100% loss on the vehicle, almost set the house on fire.

    Insurance got me a 2005 Tacoma, will never NOT own a pickup truck now.

    I am working on a 1968 Daimler Sovereign...will get it running some day. It's ready to go, once i get it put back together. Rebuilt engine, new seats, new wire harness, new paint, new rubber... just sitting in about 400 pieces right now.

    I still have my HS sweet heart, a 91 Mustang. Has been modifed to about 345 HP and hauls butt. I was lucky enough to have it shown in a couple magazines and it still has only 90k miles on it:

    I got a new ride!!! :D

    My piece of poo subaru finally pooped out on me. And I've always wanted a truck. But I wanted decent mpg and the ability to carry 4 or 5 people. I narrowed it down to a Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and check out this monster we were so so so fortunate to get.

    This truck is fantastic and was a fantastic deal. A local pastor traded it in to our ford dealership only days before we went looking around. He's an older pastor, and he absolutely babied that thing. ALL of the chrome and shiny stuff was added on by the guy. We know he put a few thousand dollars in extras into this truck.

    Well, it's a black 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac with 4WD (awesome stuff, I just turn a knob and it'll go from 2WD, to 4WD high, or 4WD low for towing). Here's the huge kicker. Along with all the chrome stuff, it only had 47k miles on it. And it's a flippin' 2005.

    This might be the best vehicle deal I've ever seen :D
