I've got a big, Chevrolet diesel pickup truck to haul trailers or carry tools.
I could easily handle a Versahaul with my PCX if I wanted to.

I got a new car last week! We sold the truck I used to have, and sold the Silverwing. We took that money and just about broke even buying a used Honda Fit, I found a great deal locally for a 5 speed one.

We went down to Statesboro, GA (4 hour drive from my house) for my brother's graduation this weekend. It got 43mpg, which is incredible given I would have gotten roughly 45mpg on the same trip with my old Silverwing.

I'll get a pic next time I wash it -- it's covered in bugs and gravel dust right now. :lol:

Yes get a picture up

I bought a new “play car“ too. 51k immaculate leather interior special equipment model. Cheaper than the PCX

Well, We just sold my wife's first car, a Nissan Sentra from 96, (for scooter money!) and so we are down to one.

We have a 1998 Accura Integra stock that has been a great car, but the story behind it is not a happy one.

However, even though it's too small for me and I am not a big fan of the color, it has been flawless in operation so I really cannot fault it at all.

If I was shooting for what I'd like my cage to be, I'd be driving a Blue Toyota FJ cruiser due to it reminding me so much of International Scout II's which I cut my teeth on as a youth.

I'm not going to put any pictures of my cages on here because they aren't much more than vehicles, but I love them because of their dependability. We have 2 Hyundai's . Mine is a 2003 Santa Fe and my wife's is a 2008 Sonata. Neither has ever had any problems. I take that back. Mine now has 79K miles but won't be 10 years old until the 13th of this month. The valve cover gaskets started to leak so I took it to the dealer. They said it was still under the 10 year, 100K mile warranty and they fixed it for free. You can't beat that. Both vehicles are the Limited edition.

I had a Hyundai turbodiesel.
An oil line rusted through, dropped the oil and fried the turbocharger.
Repair cost was roughly the same as the car was worth.
Dealer said it was common for oil and hydraulic lines to rust through on Hyundais.
After that experience I wouldn't touch one with an extra super long barge pole.

We only have gas Hyundais here in the USA, no diesels. They're solid cars. Great for the money too.

Sadly this just isn't the case in the UK.
Compared to the UK market norm the materials used in Kia/Hyundai are of inferior quality.
If it wasn't for the long warranties they wouldn't sell.

tuanies nice luxury wheels! I have a hard time seeing "yours" as cages. Too sexy! 8) One is an Audi? The other.....not sure. I may be wrong on both counts. I'll find out soon enough :)

The silver one is a Jaguar.
Never understood why the new Audis were so fecking ugly till I realised they were styled to suit american tastes.

I'm not entirely keen on the newer Jags but they're growing on me.
Audis just look horrible.

Ah thanks gn2 ;) A Jag I would take if given and buy if I won a pot of gold (along with many other toys) :D Truism, I've been seeing more and more Audi's on the road here in the U.S. Personally I think they need a wee bit more body styling. Still, they do turn my headround.
(hmmm...This second I am remembering my sis had a 4 door Audi back in the 70's, four door, it was in the shop all the time. Always something wrong with it. She got rid of it quick).
Say, didn't Audi disappear for awhile? :? Oh, me foggy brains

2009 Honda Fit Sport- a surprisingly fun handling car, with great mpg, massive room and all Honda quality.
