I counted up 13 cars and 2 bikes in 18 years of driving. Including 4 saabs, a 69 mustang, a 240z, couple of bugs, an SL, and a few nondescript rides. The longest was about 7-8 years on the mustang and a Jeep. Never had a car payment.

Will probably have another dozen or so before the dirt nap.

Yup, that's kinda the thought I have been having these days.
As soon as I get my house paid off, I am gonna spend more time enjoying my life and doing some things that I have been putting off.

Hope to build my own wooden boat someday.

Oh... well you got me then. Is it diesel?

Yup...

As much as I'd like my 10 points, if it aint a RV, i aint getting them.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
We have a winner! Being of limited computer intelligence I wasn't able to link to a photo of the object of my desire (try googling Vixen RV), but this late 80's BMW turbo-diesel powered motorhome would happily cruise along at 80 MPH while delivering 20-25MPG and still fit in your garage. I have yet to see one really cheap and they seem to have a loyal following so someday..............
Kudos AustinCE

I would like to have a jeep at some point, a nice CJ.

An original HumVee would be cool too!

Diesel, big tires....yeah!!!!

I do not desire any of the new cars on the market today.

Not that I don't like them, I just keep my desires relative to the amount of money I wish to spend on a car. Besides, I like my SDL too much....
