I punted my Hemi Charger. Started having electrical issues. Purchased new in '18. I put 64k on it. Bummer. No speedy tix, ever, & I saved $175 a month on insurance. I just had paid it off.
The grey one you posted? That was a sweet ride. I'm currently in a Colorado 4 banger. From 0-20 its fun. Then the joy tapers off as the squirrels need to hit the inhaler. 😅 For the most part, at 60k its been a big headache. The coolant issue seems to subside but it still drops power and flashes stabilitrac on random occasions.
 
Nothin fancy or fun by any means here..

I'm a mechanic.. I gravitate towards old junk that is reliable and I dont have to work on 😂
That 01 neon r/t I dd for 11 years. Ran the literal pee out of it. I only ever had to put brakes on the front a couple times. Literally nothing else. Just recently pulled it out of the barn and sold it to a friend for Literally nothing... wish id kept it. Not because it was cool but because the darn thing was awesome on gas, 20 bucks fir insurance and never needed work...

My other is an 02 dodge dakota. 4.7 v8. Locked rear end. Flowmaster exhaust... just a dd/work truck with a little get up... thing is freakin terrible on gas but hauls butt and takes a beating..

I also own an 01 jeep xj (had for 19 years now) and my baby is an 86 Toyota mr2..
Wife's got her own junk she drives.

Yep- she's gone. I had fun with it. It was modified. I rolled raced a Lambo last summer, the little one, & dusted him on a 40 roll to 100. He caught me & went around but that Hemi torque left him. I was up on the Tach in 3rd, paddle shifted to redline & I left him. The CX-9 gets 24mpg average.

23k is good in these times. I paid $5500 for my new daily. 2011 CX-9 with 165k. One owner. It's like brand new- always garage kept.
You can't even get a brand new 2wd Corolla for $23k, nowadays. I put 24k miles per year with my work commute, so I prefer to buy brand new.

Smart man. 😎🤘
 
64 Corvette when the weather is nice (even for longish jaunts on the 130 toll road at 80 mph posted limit). 2018 GMC Canyon with 4.10 gears and Mallet supercharger. Summer tow vehicle 2006 LBZ Duramax, but get it out to exercise once a month at least (best fullsize I have ever owned, definite keeper). May sound like a lot but my total investment is not much more than a new 2025 K2500 Denali Duramax.
 
Tell me your a lesbian without telling me your a lesbian.....
You have no clue how much I get that😂
Oops, I mean, nice car!
Honestly, it has more space than my TLX did and has the same power as well as its 4WD. Got out of $550 monthly payments and 18k worth of debt so I’m happy with what I got😂
 
But...... the TLX we as sexy AF.
The TLX was an absolute beauty and I miss that car everyday. However, I don’t miss the monthly payments and insurance cost😂. 19 year old me just had to have it, 24 now and I could care less what I drive as long as it’s clean and gets me to and from my destinations lol
 
That didnt take long. I still cared till 30 when I had my daughter. Bye bye camaro....
I learned quick after making the monthly payments for a few years. Now I pay $200 a month for this Crosstour and have an extra $350 a month for more spending on fun stuff 😆. I don’t have any kids yet, but two dogs and a girlfriend of 6 years (may as well be married lol)
