My trusty V-10 F 250 Super Duty Lariat . Bought it new in 2000, of course couldn't leave well enough alone and lifted it twice already, right now has a 7" lift with 37's and some other shiny stuff. Not bad for 18 year's, fuel pump, brake line, brakes is all I've ever had to fix and my Earnhardt Intimidator license plate bracket has been on there the whole time.

I'd say you'd fit in down here in Texas, but you bought a V10 instead of a Powerjoke.

For some reason last year I bought a 2017 Ford Expedition, while I was still single with no kids. Still trying to figure out why I bought an 8 seater SUV. Anyways, I put a tune in and daily 18 psi. So needless to say, it's kinda fun to drive but has an incredible ride.

I'm way too cheap to spend that kind of money on a diesel, v-10 has some very respectable torque and power and for only an extra 600 bucks. I put a gun rack in maybe they let me hang down in the lone star State haha.

We have too many cars. Depends on what you want to spend on a daily driver. I spent many years driving box economy cars that I paid less than $1k for.

There was about a 2 year period of time when my dad borrowed my daily, and I was daily driving my stroker Mustang. That was many years ago though.

Currently I daily drive a 17' Focus RS. I also have an 02' F150 for crap work. Have my eye on that new Fusion Sport AWD. I think that would be a nice family car.

7.3 is a Powerstroke, not a Powerjoke. Almost never see 7.3 trucks down here anymore, 3/4-ton and bigger trucks get beat to death by oil field trash, farmers/ranchers, hillbillies, and Rednecks.

I think the 6.0's were the ones that got the powerjoke moniker, some call them 6blows, I got the 7.3 ps turbo, ssllooww in the first couple gears but it will pull a house down the road, just pack a lunch.
560k+, just regular maintenance
I guess I could post a picture.

All of them after the 7.3 are Powerjokes or Powerchokes. The 6.0 can be fixed, the 6.4 can't, and the 6.7 is German levels of complicated and stupid in it's engineering.

Technically my "DD" is my BRZ sport tech. But I dont drive it everyday because I have a beater.

03 Civic 270k km, I believe it has a leaky headgasket, but it keeps on ticking for now.



The BRZ. I just got December 17' so I dont have and summer shots of it.


see, it goes out in the snow too. Its basically a snow plow though.

2012 Transit Connect Wagon passenger version. Daily driver that doubles as business vehicle. 1800 lb payload ain’t too bad for this little guy. And when you remove the back seat it’s huge back there.
