2004 Ford Sport Trac with 130K miles. Great vehicle!
2005 Toyota Solara Convertible with 80K miles. HUGE back seat and trunk since the top does not go down into the trunk. "The Minnow" for its looks, or "German Staff Car" because of the size of the back seat.
2010 Saab 9-3 Convertible with 30K miles. Bright red, fast, handles incredibly well. Zero issues!! Probably gonna sell it and keep The Minnow (because of the full back seat and full trunk).
2017 Chevy (High Country) Silverado 1/2 ton truck. Designated replacement for the Sport Trac (bigger boat to tow). Gets 25 MPG on highway at 75 MPH with the 8 to 4 cylinder changeover when steady state or going down hills. Likely our long distance vehicle, as well.
Son 2 has a Camry we gave him in high school. Has 210K on it now. Replaced timing belt and water pump at 120K (is a non-interference engine). He replaced front and rear struts, brake pads, shoes (yep), and rotors. Tires every 50-60K. Oh yeah, we pulled valve cover and chipped and vacuumed out the coked on oil gunk - large coffee can full. Door handle wore out and he replaced it. Good mechanic for a musician - check out Atlanta Symphony.
Son 1 has a Accord we gave him after college graduation. Has 90K on it now. Never been to a dealer. Working his little MBA butt off
