Your Trusty (Personal) Steed

[RocketMedic]

EMTLifers, what do you drive? I'm a fairly stereotypical SouthMidWesterner with my 2008 F-150 STX 4x2 "Only a few frills" Supercab. With 86,000 miles on the clock, I've had it since it was forged in Ohio and sold to me in El Paso. It's been all over Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and an adventure to California, and it's no stranger to the dirt roads and trails outside El Paso. A few dents and a lot of great memories are in this ride, and I don't plan on getting rid of it.

It's a bit of a gas hog, but I move things often enough that I need a truck, and it's pretty convenient. My wife's Rabbit usually works better for longer trips though, since 32mpg beats 18.

What do you drive, and why?

 

[Anjel]

2004 cavalier. Red. 191048 miles and because my boss sold it to me on payments and no interest.

 

[lightsandsirens5]

Green 1994 Chevy 1500. Now with 210000 on it. Still going strong.

Though I real miss my 3/4 red Ford diesel. I'll be looking for another one soon as I can afford it.

2011 wrangler unlimited. Old photo.

 

[NomadicMedic]

2007 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner. Great mileage, prefect for carrying all my crap.
105000 on the clock. Been across the country a couple of times, all over fire roads in Washington and Oregon and still looks pretty good.

 

[JMorin95]

1996 Chevy blazer with 103000 miles on it. Perfect for these Maine winters.

For a long time I had 1992 toyota tercel, that little thing could haul a** never broke down either. At least until i got t-boned and it got totaled.

Now I got a shiny 2011 corolla.

 

[usalsfyre]

2004 Passat 4motion wagon, 107k

 

[BiggestLittleEMT]

2006 Jeep Commander Limited Ed. with all the bells and whistles. Its a 5.7L Hemi and it gets the worst gas mileage but its sturdy and safe, plus I got a really good deal on it with only 52k miles when I got it a couple years ago! Love the rear skylight windows, as well as all the other features. It hauls *** for an SUV!

 

[fast65]

2004 Subaru WRX STi (72k, Cobb stage 1)

Because I've always wanted one, and I was in the market for a car with AWD, 4 doors, and a little bit of speed.

My summer car:
1965 Mustang GT (stroker 347 w/Toploader 4-speed)

Because it was my first car, and gave my dad and me a good father-son project.

 

[Achilles]

2004 F250 diesel
170,000 miles no engine issues, more susspension issues. (Snowplowing does that)

 

[DesertMedic66]

I am the typical SoCal young adult. Off road is my bread and butter.

2003 Chevy Silverado extended cab. Flow master exhaust, cold air intake, 6 inch lift up front with 3 inch lift in the rear, oversize off road tires (with a full size spare tire), 2 12 inch subs with a 1,000 watt amp, off road light bar and lights, strobe lights in the head lights, and LED cargo bed lights.

I get about 13.5 mpg city driving and maybe 18-19 highway. I tow with it, off road with it, and it's my daily driver.

Nice. I had to go with the biggest bike the store had (small man syndrome). Engine is fully stock. Custom suspension all around, lowering kit for aforementioned small man syndrome, gearing has been changed (geared way to high for trail riding).

RMZ is Suzuki 2-stroke model correct?

'nuff said.

I have a cooler car than all of y'all. A mobile party. A veritable BUS.

We recently put 5k miles on it on the epic road trip of awesomeness.

ETA: I love the midwest, where you can just stop in the middle of a 75 MPH road for a "next state on the map" picture.
