What's your ride??

laranger · 09-14-2008, 06:42 AM

Mine is my baby. Bought her brand new with cash, 2001 "Chebby Silverado 1500 extended cab". Stock everying except the ol' lady step running boards I have put on it. These pics are 2 days after it was delivered and on day 1, I had the matching camper shell put on it. I also placed a nice shag carpet on the bed in the shell so nothing slides back and forth. Please post a pic of your sled.

I drive an Audi Quattro A4 98. If you can see them lol. I put these on through the attachments. I don't know how to make them any larger.

You have to click on them. Just found out lol.

$37,000 Cobalt? is it the SS model with the supercharger? Those are pretty quick!

As for me, My daily driver is an 01 Ford Escape (with 215,000 miles!), but my toy is a 1973 Mustang I've had since high school (if you know these, it's where my "handle" comes from). It's in decent shape, but needs some work. I haven't driven it in 7 years

Nope...gawd I wish. Unfortunately with financing and since I didn't try to lower the price at all (since I'm a newbie at buying cars) the price came out to $37,000. Took me a year to figure out something was wrong with that price.

How's this for a ride--a 21-speed Mongoose Scorch mountain bike. I gave up my driver's license a few years back (voluntary) and if where I need to get is within a 4-5 mile round-trip, I'll either ride or, more likely, walk pushing my little niece in a stroller. If the distance is beyond that, I usually get a lift with my brother who drives an -'03 Dodge Ram pickup, I think. I'm not 100% on the year. There's also a bus that runs by behind me, and another that runs a block or so in front of me, so I have those options, too, but I'm diabetic (T2), so the way I see it, and since I can always use a little more exercise, its "use 'em or lose 'em" as far as my legs go. Oh, and just a couple blocks from me there's this wicked cool park, part manicured greens with baseball & soccer fields (I've even seen folks out there playing cricket, on occasion), but there's also a large space that was left centered around a hill that is largely wild but which has a cool open gazebo halfway up, a bike path that runs in a figure 8 between the hill's peaks plus some narrow hiking trails. There are rabbits up there (jacks as well as cottontails), lots of ground squirrels, scrub jays, and there's some red-tailed hawks that have made their home on the southern peak. The hill, in fact most of the surrounding hills, are the left-overs from an old lava flow. About 3-7 miles below me there's a decent sized magma chamber bubbling. Last spring, we had a couple earthquake swarms that shook things up a bit, but I spent most of my life living in N. Calif within miles of the San Andreas so what the heck--none were as big as the Loma Prieta quake--that wasn't fun. Speaking of quakes and faults, though, my avatar's actually a photo I took right around Winter Solstice 1991 at Bodega Head. Where I was standing was on the Pacific Plate, while a couple yards behind me was the North American Plate--there's a spot where you can stand and straddle the plates on the San Andreas, or maybe it was a fault that branched off from the S.A. I can never remember, but I think it was the grande dame of California faults.
