It depends. Sometimes I drive a 66 ford f100 or a 74 f150 or 99 f350 7.3 or 01 f 250 7.3 or 99 Toyota tacoma or 93 Cadillac or 08 tundra or a 17 f150. Just depends on the mood and the temperature. 66 has no AC

In my little backward mountain town, it's how many luxury car makes you see on the road. It means the Californians or New Yorkers are starting to discover your town.

Not many people notice vehicles to that level of detail. ( trim packages)

‘99-‘07 Classic GM trucks are very reliable. Hold on to it. Too bad they don’t build them like that anymore.

When I was younger and all excited, busily researching/comparing all the various vehicles, options & value as to what/which car I would next buy......My father told me:

Son, the best "deal" on a Car is the one you already Own!

the number of gx 460/70s in my area is insane and almost impossible not to notice. I recently counted 8 parked on/off the street in just 3 blocks.

Those are low key the trashiest things on the road these days. So plastic looking. Thankfully I dont see nearly as many of in Oregon as I did in Wisconsin.

Look at this a-hole.

I drove an '04 Colorado that I bought brand new for 13 years and 800 miles shy of 300K until the tranny died. Best vehicle I've ever had and frick you for thinking that has anything to do with my economic status.


He would only be referring to your economic status if you were still driving one today and failing to keep it in good working order because of economic hardship

Does a ‘05 Tahoe with 326K count? I’m hoping for 500K at least. But beyond that it’ll be a race between me and the car to see who outlasts who.

Vehicles are a little older here because no road system to the outside.

Dudes will hang on to their pickups until the wheels come off, they put their money in their boats.
