mine is magical.  kinda rough and ugly now, but it is magic.  mine is a 4x4 2006 Toyota Tacoma.  i have been all over the western USA with it doing things like elk hunts, fishing, road trips.  i have never had  car over 100,000 miles but this one is approaching 225,000.  it gets crap MPG.  especially for a smaller truck.  but it gets me and my kayak everywhere i want to go.  it runs smooth as the day i bought it used with 32,000 on the ODO.

 

the MPG is acceptable because my wife got an EV.  love em or hate em, i do enjoy going to the gas station 50%.

 

there is only really a few vehicles that will make me move on to the next one.  a 2024 Tacoma might be a player.  they are coming out with a Hybrid and EV!!!  what???!!!  this is the first real vehicle that i truly LOVED.  i love this thing.

Mine is a 2003 Chevy 2500 HD Duramax with 184k on the clock. Lots of mods have been done. I'll drive till it dies, or can no longer drive.

Mine was a little rough when I got it.

 

2001 Silverado LS which I purchased in 2015. My previous truck, a 1998 WT-1500, had been declared 'totaled' after a run in with another vehicle. Other driver took responsibility at the scene, so no fighting over who's insurance gets hit.

 

So between the insurance settlement and a short-term loan from my dad, started looking for another truck. This one popped up one day at the 'discount' lot associated with a local new-car dealer - one owner, and he used for a trade in - and I jumped on it...after a good test drive and going over it of course.

 

Almost 200k miles on it when I picked it up...but other than brakes and rear suspension, all it's needed is regular maintenance.

I have a 2017 Toyota Camry that gets driven everywhere.  83500 miles on it now, and I'll probably be driving it until it falls apart.  

2015 F150. Bought it new 130k miles ago. Will prob be driving it another 100k miles

2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD sport she’s got 82k miles on it. I’ve done a small lift to it and did a intake and exhaust on it 

2021 Subaru Forester Sport.  I've never owned a Subie before but I needed a new car for work back in September of '21 and couldn't find a new Rav4 like I wanted.  Been pleased so far with the Forester.  Getting 30 MPG with it.

2014 Toyota 4Runner Trail V6, bought used in 2016 with 23K miles, now has 130K.

 

A great ride that has carried me from the Great Plains to the Tetons, from sagebrush desert to bayou boat ramps and far beyond...still going strong and I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

 

Adventure vehicle par excellence ??

My daily driver, boat hauler, and landscaping truck is an ‘07 Dodge Dakota SLT V8. Just hit 95,000 miles. My second favorite truck I’ve owned, behind the old white Ford Ranger. R.I.P.

My daily driver, I’m pretty fortunate I have a company truck which is a 2020 Colorado. Not a bad little truck. 
 

My boat puller which has had very little use this year is a ‘10 F-150 fx4.

I have a work car, but my daily is a 2006 4Runner with the V8. Pushing 170,000 miles on it. Still runs great and still does everything I’ve ever needed it to do. I will drive it until it falls apart, which may be awhile

You're too kind. It's a 2019 (last year of the REAL Corvette IMO) and I've racked up a little over 50,000 miles on her. No garage queen for me.

It's not. My darling wife despises a stick shift so I went with the auto for when she wants to take it.

2012 mini cooper countryman ALL4s.  Bought it with about 60k miles on it and now it is at 132 and mechanically it has been fine even though I did have to replace the turbo in it recently which was not a fun experience.  It gets me where I need to go and is able to tow my kayak trailer with ease :)
