What is your backup vehicle
I'll play. My current DD, 1999 Sebring Convertible
My back up truck, 1995 K1500 Z71. Still looking for another 2nd gen Ram, but this truck has been pretty good so far. 198,000 miles. Nothing but brake pads and rotors on the front, a high pressure hose on the PS pump and oil changes. Runs like a champ.
My "other" car, which my daughter is currently driving, 1995 Mustang.
My "other, other" car, which my son is currently driving, 2005 Hyundia Tiburon. (my 09 Journey is behind it, the wifes car)
Just sold this bad boy . Bought it, built it, drove it like I stole it and sold it. 94 Z28, M6, T-Tops. Man I miss it : (
I actually own these vehicles (Camaro is the exception, its gone, but I still love it). My name is on the titles...lol

First on the lineup is my daily driver. 1992 Honda Accord with 264,000 miles. 5 speed and runs like a dream. Bought it from a friend who is a mechanic and treated it really nice.
Next is my other toy. 1970's Craftsman with a 7hp Tecumseh motor. I got really bored a few years ago and threw it together.

1999 Dodge RAM 2500 V10 - Was imported from Canada into Holland as a new vehicle. I then imported it used into Germany... drove it down myself and instantly loved it. Vehicles get usually taxed here based on cc so the 8 liter would be no joy... however the long bed allow registration as a truck (tax based on weight). And since it is a relatively light truck the ownership is pretty affordable.
1997 Jaguar XJ6 Executive - Supposed to be wifeys DD, but for some strange reason she prefers my company car (currently a Mazda). So I ended up driving it for most of the time. And because nobody trusts them mechanically they are cheap as chips to buy used. Never had any real trouble with it despite some easy-to-fix-stuff, its in a great shape and the R6 engine and transmission are running great.
1999 TVR Cerbera 4.2 AJP8 - It may look tame, but that thing is a real beast. Glassfiber body with 1100 kgs meet 360bhp. No antilock brakes, airbags, traction control, or other such gimmicks... Imported it myself from England. Engine is a race engine derived from Formula 1 engine design with a flat plane crank. Needs tappet adjustment though, and AC is not working (and its getting hot in there)

well, one step closer to an all mopar household. my wife's car is the only thing non-dodge/jeep. got rid of my Yukon Denali & got this as our new family vehicle.
this thing is loaded. power everything, 2 tv's in the back, back up camera. i usually buy things with as little options as possible to keep the price down & then add things later. but all i have to do is tint the windows & i'm done, lol.

Luckily I was able to convince the wife to stay with Dodge....picked up this 2013 Journey SXT today, only 10,000 miles. Have to say, going from an 09 Journey with the 2.4L 4 cylinder, this is leaps and bounds ahead of the 09 models.
