1986 Honda Elite 250 Motor scooter with am/Fm and Sirius satellite Radio. Freaks the Harley riders out! I also have a helmet with Flames painted on it!

I'll have to find a pic to post.
 
I was bitten by the "off road" bug long long ago. Here are my last 4 vehicles.

'90 Jeep Wrangler S. Red with gray soft top 2.5L 4-banger. Fun but WAY underpowered. pictured in an Indiana back trail somewhere near Brookville and in the Rockeys when I took a road trip out with my brother. Sold it to a kid across town. No idea of the whereabouts

'93 Jeep Wrangler Sport. Red with black soft top 4.0L in-line 6 Cylinder. PLENTY of power. Pictured on the North Carolina Beach (Emerald Isle). Still on the road. Now. Owned by my nephew from the time he was 14 (that is the driving age in Iowa. Over 170k miles on it!

'99 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. Green with Tan Soft and Hard tops. 4.0L in-line 6 Cylinder. Factory AC!!! oooo... that is a serious luxury! No AC on wranglers until the 97' model year change-over. Anyway... all the picture of this one are only on paper and negatives. Scanned one in from one of two "Alaska" trips. I forgot about this roll of film and it sat int he glove box for 2 years before it was developed so the colors were all way off. I just gave it the "goldrush cepiatone" Pictured on a river in the Yukon about 3 miles off the AL-Can HGY. Camped there overnight. It was great! The vihicle is still on the road. My nieces own it now.

Okay... so I'm an old man now.... I require more quiet comfort. Gave up some ground clearance but gained a place to sleep inside the vehicle if necessary. :)
'05 Jeep Liberty Renegade w/off road package pictured in the Smokeys.

See ya

how do you like the Aspen....Wife and I were looking at one last week

Its been great! I got my first oil change today. In seven weeks, I've put 3600 miles on it. Its been on two trips to Houston, and it was a very comfortable ride. I recently towed a 6000# trailer and with the 5.7L HEMI and 3.92 rear end, it didn't even break a sweat.

When I was looking for a new SUV, I had it narrowed down to either a GMC Yukon, Toyota Sequoia or the Aspen. I'm very glad that I chose the Aspen. I have yet to see another one on the road. I get compliments on it about every day.
 
Well, I'll tell you what I want for a ride... The new Audi R8. Here's a few shots from the 2007 Chicago Auto Show:

2003 Flex Fuel Caravan with XM and Navigation (aka my old scout compass)

Farm Truck is a 2005 Ram 1500 work truck (no chrome and all scars of farm work)
 
The last of a dying breed.....

This is my second Aurora (black like the photo).... a 4.0 liter beast that has a split personality, just like me..... Sedate sedan for schlepping the wife and kids around..... and Angry rocket for the Road Warrior in me that loves to see heads snap around when the engine roars coming out of a tollbooth.....

Mine has 81,000 miles on it, so it will be replaced by the end of the year. I still haven't found a car that I would be happy to replace it with..... Maybe a Chrysler 300M or a Cadillac CTS....

I'll have to take some pics, but between me and the wife we have:
2000 Ford Contour (used to be the wifes, but I use it as a daily commuter now)
2000 Ford F-350 4x4 Super Duty V10 Triton (insert manly grunt :) )
2005 Dodge Grand Caravan (kids outgrew Contour, so she got the van)

*edit*, found some pics I had taken with the F-350 to show an old friend in California

Bob, why are you replacing it? That thing can easily got another 50k miles.

It's a company car and we run them to 100,000 miles and then sell them while they have some decent resale valueleft in them. Plus, repairs are fairly expensive for this car..... An air conditioning compressor died and it was a $1000 repair....
 
UPDATE........

Just thought I would update these since some have changed.

My wife still drives the 2005 Uplander.
I now drive a 2007 Silverado Classic.
And for the water we have a NEW toy :D , a 2007 Chaparral 190 SSI sports boat.
I know alot of you dont like generic pics so I will post real pics once there taken.
