    What's your other ride

    Some of us can't rely on our Saab to do everything. I reckon that's why other vehicles exist probably, I don't know for sure but it's my best guess

    We currently have a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. It has the gas guzzling 360 V8 and 4 doors. It's good for hauling the horse trailer around, but only gets about 12 on the highway so it sits most of the time and looks good. But we're bidding on a 2008 F-250 Power Stroke right now so if we get that we'll have a nice little upgrade. Not a huge fan of Fords but 18+ highway sounds like a pretty good deal especially at auction price

    So tell me, SaabWorlders, what other vehicles make up your garage?

    Have to have a truck in Colorado. Mine is a '95 Nissan kingcab V6. Recently been modding it quite a bit. I get about 25mpg on the highway since I have it a little more free flowing now. Ive done all the fab work myself and its been a blast.



    Getting it ready to put one of these in the back. Hello backcountry skiing!

    Our shopping trolley is a Peugeot 207. A very good small car, it is.

    That Ski-Doo is slightly more hairy than the Formula Plus I enjoyed in my younger days...

    I start off on a sour note. I sold a perfectly good 2000 black on black 6 speed Corvette that was a joy. Having medical issues so it should be in inventory, sold it a few months back and boy do I miss it.

    1998 Volvo XC possibly soon to be replaced depending on what emerges with some "issues" next week

    2008 XWD Combi with the 280 horse X motor

    2009 XWD SS with a 2.0 6 speed (Wifey)

    1996 SE (son)

    With honorable mention to the 2000 9-5 that my "too busy" to stop for that "hot" light ...daughter, she toasted the pistons.

    I had a blue Nissan just like that. You are lucky with the 6 cylinder the 4 was way underpowered. We have always had a 4X4 truck till this past year. When I was a ski instructor the Toyota T-100 was a great truck in snow, hauling sand or dirt bikes.

    I am jealous. One day I hope to move to Colorado, I just need to find a good opportunity.

    Agreed. I test drove a 4 and with the altitude, you could do 0-60 in about 10 minutes. Had to have the V6, especially with the 31" tires I put on.

    I had always wanted to move here as well until I just couldnt stand it anymore. (I lived in wisconsin ) I packed up my car, no job, no place to live and just moved. I found my dream job and met my wife out here. Everything has really fallen into place and now its home. I guess Im trying to say that you should just MAKE it happen. You wont regret moving out here.

    BTW, I love that you listed the push mow.

    Darn, mine sucks in comparison to yours.

    I have a twice-crashed Saab 9-3 Arc and a mountain bike with 29" tires on it (finally a bike that's tall enough for a tall guy.)

    I really want to pick up a 1970s land yacht and just drive it.

    Might as well post the other other rides following PRD2BDFs lead. Transition Bottlerocket, the freeride/downhill bike. You can just barely see my other rigs in the background. Ironhorse Yakuza Bakuto, yellow with white wheels, its my hardtail dirt jumper. and the blue Noname single speed road bike. The red one is my wifes Specialized road bike. I only wish I had a pic of my wifes 'grocery getter'. That thing is awesome.



    Im bored today....
