My daily driver is a 1997 2-door Tahoe with the rear barn doors. They stopped making 2-doors in 1999, so these are a minimum of 25 years old now, and purely through attrition, they are getting scarce and harder to find. I bought mine last year from a local young man for just $7,000. And just last week I was offered $14,000 for it. No special lift or wild off-road accessories on it. Just a plain old stock specimen. Now that I'm 55 and survived a bad wreck 3 years ago with a spinal injury, I can't get up in anything lifted anyway, so this is just my speed. Anything that requires more ground clearance than this, I got no business fooling around with anyway. Besides, here in the desert, our main concern is sand. As long as I have wide footprint tires so I don't sink, and don't try to take on the talcum powder type of sand,...this will get me almost anywhere I dare to be stupid enough to drive.
And for the more adventurous jaunts into the brush, I've bot my Segway Fugelman UT10 SxS. With 1000cc, it even hauls my fat butt.

I used to have a 70' Chevelle. I dropped in a built 383 stroker with 500+ hp, built rear end, built transmission, and made a drag car out of it. Loved the hell out of it. Ended up selling it to a buddy of a buddy who wanted to do cruises with his Dad and he happened to own an hvac company and traded me for heating and a/c for my house and garage.
Fast forward a few years, he passed away from cancer. Turns out he knew he was terminal and wanted to cruise with his Dad before he passed. So the car definitely went to the right guy. He did a bunch of work to it, swapped a 6 speed into it, made it what I always wanted to but never had the time or motivation to do it.
I messaged one of his daughters last week saying I hope it stays in the family and they enjoy it like he did. My buddy who got me in touch with the guy originally hits me up two days later (she never even saw the message) to inform me they're selling the car.
So I'm going on Friday to look at and potentially buy back my 70' Chevelle. Even got the green light from the wife.
I'm pretty stoked and will definitely post pictures if I can get it back.
Yeah, if I had a chance to get that back I'd sure jump on it if it is at all affordable. Love those 70 Chevelles! I have one of the LS6 454's that were an option for that car I bought as a crate engine in 1988 from the local Chevy dealer. I put it in a 77 Trans Am.
I put a lot of blood, sweat, and effort into that car. It was an absolute blast to drive and was hell at the strip. Even just the opportunity to get it back has me very hopeful.

I used to run those. My catastrophic failure was the pinion gear coming out of mesh with the steering rack when I was trying to turn in a 4-way intersection. Those were normally aspirated pure mechanical diesels except for the fuel shut off solenoid. They were slow, but 50mpg was possible. Then came the early TDI version & you got much better power with the same MPG. Then things got more complicated & performance suffered. Then diesel-gate happened & now VW will not import diesels to the US anymore.
I bought this 1965 GTO from my brother in 1971. 53 years later it still looks like it will run 100 mph quarter mile. The Triumph is a 2002 Bonneville America, still looking like a classic. A 2002 Thunderbird, that looks like a classic and drives like a sports car should. Convertible with a removable hard top…

Until I get the Chevelle back home, here's the other fast car.
2015 Hellcat Challenger with a 6 speed. It should be illegal how fun this car is to drive. Now if I could figure out the wiring issue that kills the battery in 2 hours flat, I can start driving it regularly again.
Back in the Dark Old Days, when I was going to a trade school, we received a donation of a VW Rabbit diesel that had been to the Moon and back, several times. Body was falling apart, transmission was trashed. We put the engine on the stand for a class tear-down and re-assembly instructional aid. Once we had her guts on the bench, and began the inspection and measurement phase, we determined that all she needed was a new oil pump (just for peace of mind), new rings (cylinders still showed crosshatch) and new gaskets. Was my first introduction to aluminum crank bearing inserts: I'm sold on THAT method! :)
All in all, the Rabbit diesel is one tough beast!
