Joe, you and my dad need to get together to talk tractors - he has one now and he grew up on a farm in ND he has since bought and he has one or two he wants to restore up there. One is pretty old and was his dad's. I'll try to get more info for ya on that.
My ride... well, y'all know that one. :-)
My wife's ride:
1996 Dodge Grand Caravan SE
August 1995 - present (198,000 miles)
3.3L V6, 158hp, automatic, FWD
still going strong with very few problems - great van!
There is some kinda mountain bike I used to ride some collecting dust in my garage, too. :-)
Previous rides no longer owned:
1995 Dodge Avenger ES
March 1996 - April 2003
(traded in at 89,000 miles)
2.4L Mitsubishi V6, 165hp, automatic
(see my gallery pic)
loved this car, which beat Mitsubishi GS-Ts in slalom runs (handled great)
1989 Ford Taurus GL
April 1994 - April 1996
3.0L V6 automatic, 140hp
sold at 120,000 miles (my first car and in many ways the best)
Other cars I've driven:
2001 Chevrolet Astro (cargo van)
4.3L V6, 190hp, automatic
driven daily for work
2001 Lincoln Navigator (Dad's)
5.4L V8, 300hp, automatic
lease ran out, not bought out at end of lease - very nice, but didn't like driving it
1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T (Bro's)
2.0L turbocharged 4CYL, 210hp, automatic
fun car to drive, sold to a kid around the corner after bro moved to NYC so we still see it go by at my parents' house sometimes
1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL (Mom's)
3.0L V6, 222hp, automatic
believe it or not, it felt a little sluggish to me - still has it, very low miles
1993 Ford Explorer Limited (Dad's)
4.0L V6, 160hp, automatic, 4WD
didn't like much about this one, never used the 4WD at the time - Dad still has it at the farm in North Dakota
2001 Saturn LW-300 (Dad's)
3.0L V6, 182hp - it'll scoot, too!
(my parents tow it behind their 36' 2002 Itasca Horizon diesel pusher- Saturns don't require a driveshaft disconnect for towing)
Drove the Itasca about two months ago - never again. TDB (too damn big) LOL!
