Wow, what a lovely looking 'estate' to live in MrYum :) And lots of nice motors in this thread too.

Where abouts in Florida are you?

I lived in Port st Lucie 8 years ago for 3 month and loved it.

Today wasn't car wash day... still might do that later on if I can find a willing assistant. Nice examples of ways to get around y'all! :)

One more Jeep lover here...
http://xratedtv.com/images/matilda/matilda.html

(included an old Jeep ad for memories) :D

The same thing is true of my old (2000) Jeep Cherokee, it's up to 60,000 looks smells and drives like new :)

I'm just your typical whitebread suburban milf.. I drive a 2003 Ford Escape XLT

Am I the only one that has given up on that thing called car?
I ditched mine after I realized that I paid more in parking fines than gas every month (and gas in Sweden is NOT cheap). Sucks living in the middle of the city.
So nowadays I stick to a great pair of shoes, my MTB and car rentals when I need to go further than my bike can take me.

when I was living in Bolivia I had a fun little 50cc scooter. All you had to do was let sniff gasoline and it would run forever. I also did plenty of walking and took the bus, when I was feeling lazy.

Sweden must have some pretty severe winters, kudos to you for biking and walking in the cold! =D

bunky

It keeps me healthy :D

No scooter for me either. I'd probably collect tickets on that damn thing too. I'm a frickin ticket magnet |angry|

Thanks Lisa...this neighborhood and especially the back side of the property sold me on this house. I absolutely love living here. It's a small city about 25 miles south of Sarasota on the gulf side of the state. Perfect time of year now...80 during the day...60 at night...blue skies and lots of sunshine |thumb

Yea Surfn, I've always traded in vehicles about every 2 or 3 years. Not this one...the lease just ran out and I bought this sucker. Comfortable full size SUV...that converts into a full sized truck...very versatile and comes in handy frequently :)

Love the jeep Simon! Those old CJ's were sweet rigs |thumb

I honestly dunno what it would be like not to own a vehicle or two Swed...think I might blow a gasket or something ... lol. But, there really aren't any significant parking issues around here either.

You just have to make sure that your vehicle is "winterized" You would need a block heater, antifreeze rated up to -35 to -40 Celsius (-31 to -40 F)... snow tires and a remote starter (not obligatory, but nice, very nice to get into a warm vehicle and the ice has melted off the windshield.)

Thanks Bunky...but I'm a warm weather kinda guy. I'll take a day of sweating over a day of shivering anytime |thumb

yeah... times like this I miss living back in Bolivia. I spent 14 years there and left because the politics were a tad unstable, so I came back to my home country wher I am now freezing my ass off... and have been freezing my ass off for the past nine years.

Yikes...yea, I can certainly understand the need to 'get outta dodge' with regards to Bolivia |thumb

That so sucks man...9 fuckin years? Dayum...important stuff's gotta start freezin and falling off eventually yanno? Might be time to 'get outta dodge' again :D

Florida has so fuckin spoiled me...I start complaining when it drops below 60 :D

yeah... I don't plan on leaving here until my kids are out of high school and living on their own (to some degree)... that will be another seven years or so.

After that I will consider moving to a warmer country! =D

I do :) http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...ad.php?t=25757

But usually driving around I use my Jeep Unlimited - more fun and if I go on long trips I put on the hard top.

Definitely not a cold weather vehicle right now. I'm going to have to rebuild my CJ a little if I take it to the mountains with me (when I move). Not only did I have the a/c removed a while ago, but I did the same thing with the heater. It seems like I'm always looking for something I don't need that I can get rid of. I think I'm a minimalist at heart. :)

Or I could just get a winter Jeep to keep my summer one company. :D

Swedguy - Yes, down in Key West it was all about walking or bicycles. Lots of scooters down there, though I never had one. Now that I'm up the Keys a bit, there's not much in walking distance anymore.

When I lived in Manhattan in the 80s I realized was paying more to park one car than it would cost me to rent one whenever I wanted, so I sold the car and did cabs and rentals for awhile. Then I fell for a '58 Bentley S1 and wound up paying for parking again. (Actually I wound up paying for parking two cars, but that's another story).

I've been driving the same butt ugly '93 Volkswagen Passat Break for 7 years now. Last week I pulled out (read broke) the handle of the left rear door. Maybe it's time to get me a new set of wheels. Donations are welcome :D

Just bought a F350 Crew Cab Dually 4X4 to pull the growing number of horses. As mentioned also own the bus Suburban 4x4 to haul all the kids and all their crap. When we want a smooth ride and alot less gas, drive the dodge caravan.

Volvo V70 - 2003

Boring..... but its a nice family car :)

/Thomas

Yup.

This is what I used to have http://www.luxurymotors.com/galleria...431_main_f.jpg

Fuck i miss it! :(

I'm definitely in the 'minivan' years of my life. I don't know what I'd do without 7 seats and dual sliding doors. It's a Dodge Caravan for me...but we might trade it in this year for a 2007 model with stowaway seats.....the saddest things get me excited :(

My wife has a lexus RX300 we share since im between cars right now
I had a lexus gs400 showcar

I miss it:( but it wasnt practical when we had kids
no trunk space and too flashy to take my kids around with.
