my truck is 16 years old but only has 100,000k.  Has been paid off for 13 years.

Going for 200k 32 years.

Mine is an 04 with 135k. I feel in my gut that within the next year there is going to be a repair that costs more than the thing is worth.

I've been looking at some crap, trying to decide what I want, but god damn they make super ugly suv's now. There are a few sedans I'm interested in, but I really like having 4wd and being above traffic a bit. Quite the pickle

My transmission was slipping in my Dodge Dakota pickup truck so I took it in and they told me it was the transmission and it would be $2300 to rebuild, so I took it to a different place to get another estimate and he told me it was not the transmission but only a sensor of some kind that was making it slip and replacing the sensor was only $180.  It just goes to show you some mechanics are pieces of crap liars and some are good.

mrs. dave wouldn't let me get a Q7 because it was too small inside for hauling shitloads of kids hillbilly style. I now own a gigantic huge truck thing that gets 18 MPG on the highway and has about 190 HP more than I would ever want in a vehicle and can tow 8,500 lbs which I will never use. It's like driving a giant cow farmer truck.

crap, I forgot to post but it'd probably have been too late anyway.  My buddy got some used tesla through whatever recycling program they have.  It's sedan looking but with a hatchback, and that's where the extra row of seats are.  So you put your kids in that thing and they're facing backwards.  No kicking the back of your seat.  All the stuff you'd throw in the trunk goes under the hood where an engine would've been.

this wasn't even designed by ford, just some graphic designer bronco lover

skipper is right, that ugly thing is the new bronco (according to jalopnik)

the internet tells me that vehicle is a nissan armada.  it looks very big. 
good news is that it will probably survive a nuclear blast on norad.  bad news is that you'll only get about 3 miles from ground zero before it runs out of gas and the radioactive fallout gets you.

Confirmed. And it's not one of those shitty imports that are manufactured in the USA. Made in Konichiwa Tokyo.

at this point it's probably just varying degrees of "damn it" for you anyway so i guess no reason to fight it if that's what mrs sd wants

my current v8 gets around 15 mpg and it really sucked when gas was $4 a gallon and i don't even drive much.  hopefully fracking stuff still works great for cheap gas like last two years

also i've never cleaned the inside or outside of any car i've ever owned, so it'd probably not stay super pretty.

i have an old suv and a not as old car that are both good for not washing.  sometimes i just think it'd be neat to have a pretty car.
