Re: What is everyone driving now?

I still daily drive my '92 SE-R.  The car should hit 300k this month but the engine has 200k and is thankfully still healthy.  Body is showing a bit of surface rust now so I will need to address that this year.  God willing I'll have this one forever but I do need to eventually get something bigger as a daily driver for myself soon.

I got my wife a 2006 Land Rover LR3 which is an amazing vehicle.  Gas mileage is bad but to be expected for a 5500lb vehicle.

Before the LR3 we had a 99 Volvo S80 which gave 300k of mostly faithful service.
I had a 93 Range Rover I restored a few years ago but sold it when we moved to MD from GA.

More than the cars long gone I miss my two wheeled Yamahas and Ducatis I'be had.  Lately have been having an itch to ride again but can't bring myself to pull the trigger on another moto.  To fill the void I started mountain biking again and am putting some miles on my Cannondale.

I mostly drive a 2013 Pathfinder to ferry the children to and from daycare. My wife has a 99 G20 nearing 200k a bit leaky and rusty.  Up until last year I was driving a 2002 SE-R Spec V, which Cody, who hit the wall in his 240 at Watkins Glen over the weekend, now owns.

I sold my '96 SE-R with around 170k on the clock to a kdi. He absolutely loved it, fixed all the dents, re-clear coated the bumpers, unhazed the headlights, reupolstered the seats, upgraded the turbo from the T25 to the GT2860RS, made over 300whp, and then put it into a light pole.

I went to a 2005 Evo 8. Fun, but $$$ to operate. Then bought the 2005 S2000 with 36k miles for $17 back in 2008. Daily drove it for 3 years, but when I went more towards track-car mode being a MotoIQ project car and all, I picked up a 2006 G35 sedan for the DD with 20k miles or so on it. Had that for a year and a half or so, but driving around LA leaved no place to exploit the 300hp and paying for premium gas was puttind a dent in my wallet. So traded that in and picked up a 2012 Lexus CT200h which takes regular and gets 44mpg vs. 20mpg I got in the G. I'm saving about $125 a month in gas. 

Oh, I've also had my 2005 Honda CBR 600RR which I bought used with 1k miles on it. I've been riding very little the past couple years though and only have 17k on the clock. I actually put more miles on the bicycle than the motorcycle. 

So the CT200h is the DD, S2k is the project car (and a stock 2005 S2k with 70k-90k miles still goes for $17k which is what I bought it for 5-6 years ago!), CBR 600RR for the occassional romp, and the road bicycle currently geting more miles than the CBR and S2k combined.

I sold my Titan and got a 2004 4Runner back in 2007.  I have 258k miles on the 4Runner.  Wife still has the 2007 G35 coupe with 60k miles and I have my 1993 NX2k that has about 63k miles on it.
