Nothing romantic or exotic here. We mostly drive the wifes 2001 silverado around town. Started to sell it once but didnt as people here want it for nothing as it isnt 4wd. It has only about 94K. I have a 2000 gmc sierra stepside that I keep a quad and trailer hooked up for boondocking. That has 125,000 miles. For road trips only, we have a 2007 toyota avalon with only about 45,000 miles that we bought new.

'90 Ranger w/4 cyl and 120k. No AC, barely any heat, a tweaked frame, and sun faded paint.
I've had it for about 4 years and only replaced the power steering unit and oil. I have never washed it either. Aside from fuel and insurance I have less than a grand into it. Keeps the miles , dirt and wear off my '99 F150 and gets better mpg.

I have three vehicles I consider my daily drivers.
In the 4X4 Pickup department I have a '09 Toyota Tundra that I use for hunting, fishing, & towing. I believe it has around 20,500 miles on the clock.
For Sunday go to meetin and vacationing I have '08 Caddy STS which right at 30,000 miles.
Last but not least I have my beater which seems to get driven the most. It a '91 GMC Sonoma with over 300,000 miles on the clock. I drive this junker everywhere and don't worry about scratches, dents, dings, the paint or anything else. I had her since she was new and just put a set of new shoes on her for the winter.

A 2006 Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor with 84280 HARD miles on it......I love it....we are lucky enough to have a "take home" fleet....my baby is #S-111.
My personal vehicle is a 2004 Toyota Tacoma with 73000 miles. Bought it brand new and it has been one of the most reliable vehicles I have ever owned.

4506517, just a random wet blanket thought: Years back I worked with a retired indianapolis homicde lt. He bitched that back there the dept did the same as many departments do now: Take the cruiser home. He claimed they do it to screw retiree`s out of pention. Said that indirectly the "privilage" took place of part of wages they would be getting if they didnt have the priviledge. Of course his pension was based on what the current guys wages are. Just something to think about!
edit: this was way back, I think he retired in 1963.

2000 Tundra 4x4.
I would have traded for a new one but they don't have a good center fold down with built in water and food bowls for Pugsters.

By the way, that's part of my yard and the thing to the right of the jeep is my shooting bench (converted dresser).
I see the bench, where's the jeep???

My daily driver is a 2003 Buick LeSabre with 152,000 on the clock. It averages about 700 miles a week. I hope it runs another 150,000. That will get me to retirement, then I might treat myself to something a little nicer.
2006 STS with 25,000 miles on it.
'07 Ranger 4by with about 75,000 on it. It's a nice confortable rig, and a fairly good 4 wheeler.

1996 Mazda MX-5 Miata.
Creeping up on 80k miles. I drove it every day to work and back since it was new in July of '96.
I hate long commutes.

2006 Jetta TDI, 16 miles to work 1 way every day for about 84,500 miles so far, a couple of minor bugs worked out early, but it's a keeper since it gets about 43 mpg the way I drive it.
Otherwise, my grownup up pick up for my 6'5" frame, a 2010 Ram 1500 Club Cab, it's a goer...

My wife drives a 2007 Toyota Yaris. I drive a 2010 Yaris. Excellent cars. Very pleased with them.
I don't work no more, but my beater is an 86 Chev 1/2 ton pickup with a topper with 175,000 miles on it but I have maintained it.
