What do you drive? **PICS**

I have 3 cars!!

And they are ALL P.O.S. 😉

But I'm able to work on all of them myself.

Two of them aren't really worth much, but this one may be worth some $$ when I get done restoring it!

Seriously? That's actually pretty impressive! I mean, still not great numbers, but I've seen 4-bangers weighing in at 2000 lbs. that hardly do better than that. How does it do that well?

The engineering of turbo diesel. Do a search, diesels are far more expensive and complex than gas motors and will last at last 3x as long. My friend has a 86 with 400K miles and still gets mid 15's.

Smae reason the golf TDI gets 53 mpg while the gas golf gets around 35.

Oh, nice. I didn't realize that his truck used diesel. 🙂 I'm not much of a car buff...but fuel efficiency and whatnot intrigue me.

 
I have one of these, one of these (the lower one), and one of these (this one will be worth some $$$ when I get done restoring it!)

The VW hauls BUTT since I have about $3000 into the engine, the Plymouth in my daily driver.

I know, They are ALL P.O.S.! 😉

But I like owning cars I can keep running myself!!!
