Hmmm, I thought I answered this one. I guess not. Mileage isn't an issue with me. I work out of the shop at home, so my shop is literally closer to walk to than my daily driver parked in the driveway.

Anyway, here she is. A '79 Ford 4x4. I back-dated the grill to a '77.



Tiff has an '01 Olds Aurora. It's pretty nice and only has 130K on it. (not bad for 10+ years old)

I got bored last year when the Chevelle was in 5000 pieces and picked up a 10' Mustang GT...which was fun for about a year and could have been a pretty nice performing car with a little bit of work but just got tired of it I guess (It did get around 22-24 mpg each week and made just shy of 280 rwhp). It was loud and a 5 speed and would rip the tires loose at will.

Sold the GT for a 2012 TL a couple months ago. I had an 06 TL previously and man, I could sleep in this thing!

2002 Cadillac SLS w/82,000 miles. Averages 21 mpg. Smoothest car i've ever rode in. My wife had a 07 Trailblazer SS until a few months ago. We traded it for a new Z71 LTZ. The trailblazer only had 70k on it and was constantly breaking down. The only thing I can guess is that we just got a bad one. I absolutely loved driving it when it was running right!!

It wasn't just you. Trail Blazers have been less than dependable. I work on quite a few with computer and running issues.

It was mostly little things. like the fuel gauge would quit working, just die going down the road for no reason. Always something that made me not comfortable with my wife driving it. That LS2 ran like a champ though!
