Bennyg Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Figured I would show a picture of my daily driver. It is a 05 mustang with a v6 and a five speed. Added the gt package. I drive it daily to work 100 miles round trip. Has 180,000 miles on it amd going strong. Fun to drive and 26 mpg as well. Wow. The paint work looks fantastic for the mileage.

Casey429 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Here are my two workhorses: 1994 F-150 XLT. 5.0, E4OD auto 4x4. It has the SixLiter tune up (learned about it on a Ford Truck forum, high output coil, 8mm wires, timing bump) BBK shorty headers that leak badly, K&N intake, soon to have a Flowmaster cat-back, Rancho RS5000 shocks, new brakes, new headlights and clear markers, and a bunch of other TLC and upgrades. I sacrificed a mint 2WD '95 to save it back in 2010. With donor body parts and some fresh paint, the old girl still turns a few heads. Color is Tobago Green (same as Calypso on a Mustang) with a dark Tourmaline insert and grey interior. I've had this truck since August of 2007, and she just rolled over 120k on the ticker tonight! Pic is from when I put it back together, I have some more recent ones on my phone I need to upload. I'll never part with this one. And the new daily, a 2008 F-250 Lariat. 6.4 Power Stroke Diesel backed by a ZF 6 Speed manual (yep, she's a rare beast). I bought it last year and the previous owner installed the 5" Diamond Eye DPF delete turbo back exhaust and SCT LiveWire programer. Since then I swapped to the 2012 18" OE wheels (20's that were on it were off of a '12 Lariat), installed an S&B intake, a Sinister Diesel EGR delete and coolant filter. Not pictured is the smoked Recon cab light lenses and smoked LED mirror and 3rd brake lights. Oxford White over Pueblo Gold with a camel leather interior. Next mod is a South Bend 3250 dual dusc clutch (the stock one gets kinda cranky when you put your foot down). I love to drive this truck and I don't think I'll ever let it go either.

Longbox55 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Could have sworn I posted in this one, guess not. Anyways, here's my daily driver. It's a 1955 Chevrolet 3204 pickup, 235 6 cylinder (dual Holleys, Fenton headers, and Howard M4F solid lifter cam) and a 3 speed on the column with a Borg-Warner R10 overdrive. Still riding on the stock leaf spring suspension, manual steering, and manual drum brakes, but has been upgraded with gas shocks, F & R anti-sway bars, steering stabilizer, and radial tires. Those of you that attended the HMCA show a while back might have seen it sitting in the lot, it was parked out by the road near the CVS.

On the motor shes making 602 to the rear wheels and about 750 on the bottle. in the back ground you can see my dads '70 ElCamino SS 396 and his '72 vega in the garage Edited June 18, 2013 by Dragfreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 A lot of members have already seen it but here's my '71 Chevy Vega panel delivery. That is very cool. Not many of those were made, I can't imagine how many actually exist today. Back in the day, Tony's Pizza in Hazlet, NJ bought a fleet of red ones. I'm not sure how many they actually had. You'd see them all over town, acquiring more body damage every time you'd see one, at mercy of teen age drivers. They didn't last long!

MikeyB08 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Here's my daily driver. 2002 Lincoln Continental CE (Collector's Edition). Bought it on January 1, 2013. Was purchased with 74,481 on odometer. I often get poked fun at since I'm 23 and driving what is considered a "Senior Citizen" vehicle. That is until the V8 kicks in. People then begin questioning their decision of V6's. I'm kidding... But anyone that does ride with is usually impressed with the power due to the fact that this car weighs 3,800 lbs. On with the pics. I need newer ones as these was taken on Jan. 11. Here's my Cardomain: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/4019545/2002-lincoln-continental/ Edited June 18, 2013 by MikeyB08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the research I done on the Continental's before I bought gave it amazing reviews. Said they was practically bullet proof provided you kept up with the general maintenance. I absolutely love my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I used to have a 1989 Crown Vic that was first my grandfather's, then I inherited it from my father. It was bullet proof! I put over 200,000 on it. I drove it a 150 mile round trip commute and got 19-20 mpg. I gave it to my wife's brother. He drove it for a year and gave it to a friend of his who is still driving it.

MikeyB08 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Its really not too bad. Given I dont know much about torque steering but it always feels pretty even to me as far as power delievered. Again, I've probably falsifying the true meaning of torque steer. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyD340 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I have a 1988 Ford F-150 4x4 V8 short bed that has 86000 original miles on it, my Dad bought it new and after he had his heart attack and my Mom quit driving due to health reasons he parked it and I talked him into giving it to me. It don't look like much but it is paid for and it is in great mechanical shape, I drive it everyday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I average 23 mpg for a 46 mile round trip commute. It jumps to 28 on the freeway at 75mph. I love this car and will continue to drive it until the wheels fall off. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
