Because, honestly, I can't afford most any of those fancy eco-cars or such, and don't really care.
So post up whatever cars, motorcycles, bicycles, etc you ride/drive, be they more efficient than the alternatives or not.
Anywho, I've got, in chronological order of model year:
A 1985 Volvo 245DL, named "The Battlewagon".
2.3l SOHC Inline-4, mostly stock aside from a few suspension components and lots of paint and such under the hood. This thing is my pride and joy. It's getting a factory turbo setup sometime in the next year, as well as upgraded suspension and some other neat stuff. $700 to buy, probably $2500 in repairs, stereo, shiny bits, etc.
A 1986 Suzuki Savage LS650. No name.
650cc single-cylinder OHV motorcycle. Pretty simple. fun little rat/cruiser kinda deal. Picked it up for cheap, it's been lots of fun tinkering with in my spare time. $950 to buy, probably $500 in parts.
A 1987 Volvo 760 Turbo Intercooled Sedan, named "Sven".
2.3l SOHC Inline-4, but this one has a turbo. Garrett T3, all factory as of right now. Comfy, reliable, a little quicker than the wagon. Just a decent little daily driver. $550 to buy, probably $500 in parts.
A 1994 Volvo 940 Turbo Intercooled Sedan. No Name.
See above. Same engine size, slightly smaller turbo. I don't really drive it all that much. $400 to buy. $0 in parts.
A 2004 Banshee Chaparral DH bike. No name.
Still being built, using parts from my old '07 Rincon.
A 2007 Giant Rincon.
Parts donor for the Banshee.
k, go.
