    Re: Hittin' The Open Road: USCHO'ers and Their Cars

    The Fifth, aka Rosie. 1999, about 82K on it, soft-top. Fun as hell to drive. During snowstorms, I sometimes go out just BECAUSE there's no one on the roads, and have some fun on the side roads.

    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      I have owned 3 Rangers. Last year I decided to replace my 8 year old XLT and I was going to hold out for the global Ranger (a completely different design) after the current Ranger design was killed off. But when Ford finally announced they weren't going to bring the global Ranger to the US I bought a Nissan Frontier instead. It's a decent vehicle for the price but it's incredibly uninspiring.

      Too bad about the global Ranger - all the reviews I read from overseas are very positive.

          Wranglers are great fun...every time I see one I wish I still had one.

          My current vehicle is identical to this stock photo...minus the better looking driver. Very fun on the nice summer days. far less fun than the Wrangler in snowstorms I'm sure. For that I have a 2003 Dodge Dakota 4X4 that's getting pretty rusted. I like my Dakota when the snow flies and would really like to buy / have a nice newer pick-up but they're pretty ****ed expensive to operate. The crossfire gets excellent MPG.

              I always knew you swung that way.

              One prob with Jeep Wranglers: wayyyyyyy expensive, even used. I was looking at an upgrade, and found a 2007 w/40K miles, for 17K. 17K. And that was the best deal I found which had what I wanted (which wasn't much). FTR, I bought mine in 2001 (so 2 years old), it had about 20K miles on it, for 16K. I hear Mini Coopers are the same way in cost.

                Wranglers are one of the best vehicles on the market at holding their value.

                I originally wanted a TJ ('97 to '06, last run with the AMC engine and transmission) but '06s with 40,000 miles on the clock were going for $19K. A new JK ('07 onward) was $23K. Worth the extra 4 grand to have 0 miles. If you're afraid of getting a new car because of depreciation, a Wrangler is a great buy.

                  This. I made some repairs this spring, and in meh condition, my Jeep was worth $6600. Now? $10K. You gotta be kidding me! I was amazed.

                        I almost lost it turning onto hwy 65 on my way home from work. *** end came around and got almost perpendicular to the lanes. Luckily I'm a **** good driver so I rode it out and was on my. (Yes I can break the back end loose at will)

                          1998 black Jeep Cherokee sport.

                          Only car I've ever owned. She's my baby.

                          Had her since I was 16....180K miles on it and still running strong (knock on wood). Had to do very little maintenance.

                          Straight 6 engines are golden. Unfortunately, I fear the body is going to give out before anything else due to the rust of living in the Northeast and the car sitting outside all the time for 10 years.

                            I have a straight 6 in both of my vehicles. I'm a fan.

                                I don't think that does it justice. It doesn't convey the odor of sweat and puke, nor the filth on the floor and graffiti on the exterior.
