    The other cars

    These are what keep me away from 100% dedicated Probe wrenching. Well these, and the whole family/kids/house/work thing.

    I usually get heavy into the forums for each car and then end up a lurker since the only constant in my stable is the PGT the rest get bought and sold every few years.

    1998 BMW 740iL - Wife's car, works well since BMW's are mostly chick cars anyway



    2000 Jaguar XJ8 - travel car, sometimes work car, the regular car.





    1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer - This replaced my wrangler is the do everything utility type vehicle for things





    1930 Ford Model A, built as a 50s Hot Rod - this is mostly garage art that is driven whenever I feel that I'm just living way too safely.






    So I am always wrenching on something, when there is no Probe updates it's not because I'm sipping mint juleps at the derby.

    That Wagoneer is in great shape. Don't see many around anymore. Such a unique collection of cars Ken. Love the Model A!

              The 7 is like the last in the book for me

              That big jeep is quite tiny compared to modern pickups what have just gone off the charts huge.

                  No definitely not, but I don't need to haul 5th wheels or cross a swamp to get to work so It's fine for my purposes.

                          And not just height, really big vehicles. The Jeep next to them seems like a crossover. All cars have gotten huge, I don't get it.

                              Mega cabs are where it's at. Like full size car with half size truck.
                              Some people are living life and some people are just living.
