1984 Dodge Ram 4x4- had around 500,000 miles and was worn out so never really drove it much.
1987 Dodge Ram 4x4- This was possibly the most bad ass truck to ever exist. 440 big block, 4 speed manuel with a granny low, 6 inch lift, cherry red. If I were in as good of financial shape as a teenager as I am now, this would still be mine, but it was a little hard to afford 8 mpgs back when gas was over 4 bucks a gallon. It was my first truck that I drove regularly.
1994 Jeep Cherokee- I was a teenager with two vehicles, this was my daily driver. It got treated like hell, but those 4.0 straight 6's are indestructible, especially with the 5 speed manual, had well over 400,000 miles on it when I sold it to my good buddy, and he still uses it as his daily driver. Biggest fuckup Chrysler ever had was changing to a V6 instead of the 4.0 straight 6.
1989 F-150. 302, long bed, 4x4, dual gas tanks, two tone gray. Good, smooth running truck. I gave it to my brother this year for his birthday. With me driving my company truck during the week, and having another vehicle that I'm about to get to, it was basically just sitting in my driveway. Low mileage, had under 70K when I gave it to my brother.
1988 Toyota Pickup 4x4, 5 speed manual, it's a fun truck to drive, and it's my weekend driver. It could climb a telephone pole.

I had an 07 flatbed Duramax as my first company truck, but like pretty well any Duramax, it was a piece of shit.

Now I have a 2015 F-350 Power Stroke flatbed 4x4 for my company truck. It's new, so it should be a little while before there's any problems, but I kept telling my boss that I'd rather be Cummin than Strokin, but he wouldn't listen.

This is likely all you'll see of my baby if we meet on the highway..... And it will get smaller quickly...

Eh, my Yoter isn't built for speed. You definitely don't want to pull out in front of anyone in it, but I could run over that Mercedes and not even have to put in 4 wheel when you stop in a parking lot.

Whatever might float your boat I suppose.

Not only could you climb anything if you've ever seen Top Gear your Toyota might be damn near indestructible.

Every vehicle I've ever owned other than the 87 Dodge has just been an old 4x4 beater. The 87 Dodge was 4x4, but far from a beater.

I'm a truck guy, and I prefer the older trucks. Parts are cheaper, they're easier to work on, and I'm not worried about little dents, dings or scratches, and I don't have a lot of money in them, so I have a lot less inhibition on hitting a trail, a mud hole, or raising hell on iced over roads.

Ed Zachary.

But I don't do any of those things.

And you probably don't do much high speed cornering.....

I go the max speed in corners that my vehicle will allow without risking a rollover. I hit em too hard every now and then and tires start to bark, but knock on wood, I haven't lost control yet.

My active suspension and traction control don't allow spins or rollovers without really trying to do so...

Well, that's no fun.

There's no adrenaline rush for me if there's no chance of a fuck up.

Hell, I've never even owned a vehicle with an air bag.

Of course you should have.

It was a good afternoon because you did.

I love talking about Ben Z, that's his name by the way. I always name my cars.

My SHO was Bull.

The Maxima is Minimal.

The TBird is Raven (cause it's black).

The Contour is Baby Bull.

Haven't got a name for my Audi yet. Have to think about that.
