I've been seeing a lot more Hummers driving around lately. I thought they went the way of the dinosaur with high gas prices. The stagnation must have brought them back into the fold.

I put a lot of miles on cars these days (all highway), and am already looking for a new whip to be purchased in a couple years. As an avid manual transmission junkie, it's getting harder to find a non-compact, non-sports car that fits the mold.

Original plan was just to update the current car '13 VW CC, but they got rid of their manual trannies in '15 i think (doing the push button or paddle i dunno).
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I want to buy an F-150, likely an XLT. Only requirements are back up camera and 4 wheel drive.

My trusty steed now has 275k on it.  I was going for 300 but honestly think it can go quite a bit further.  No self limitations ya know.  Anyway wacky that's how far I've went and hope to went further.

I was confused with mine when I first got it (never had one before), because Mrs. Wacky's beeps and turns red when you're too close. Mine doesn't make a noise. When I first started driving it, I think I was getting closer to cars than what I thought.

But wait, there is more! Her nickname is "The Black Pearl" and I always make sailing jokes when my buds are riding with me! "Three sheets to the wind!" "The black pearl sails tonight" "Got delayed in a squall but if the wind picks up should be there in 5 min!"

SO MUCH FUN

My 'yota needs a new set of tires soon and the rear struts are about shot.  For that much money I might as well buy a new sled right?  Or should I suck it up and let a freshly maintained 'yota rack up tens of thousands of more miles?

I've had the F150 for 2 years now but I'm going to resist my temptation to buy another one. My new goal is get 80k miles on a car before I even consider trading it in.

I asked myself this hard hitting and introspective question and as it turns out I have not went far enough before getting a new one.  I should be the one to carry this baby across the 200k mile threshold.

Hey @Pete, if we were to have kids and they went to HS where our new house is, they'd go to Shawnee Mission South.  :peek:

What kind of Yota is it? My 03 corolla has 180k on it and needs new struts but I'm YOLO'n to get it past the 200k mark then onto another car.

06 Camry.  Has about 185k, so I figure I'm too close to the magical 200k threshold to give up on it now.
