I still drive it almost every day, but just not to work. I drive the Swift as my commuter car to and from work (about 40 miles per day). I drive the truck everywhere else, like for short trips around town to run errands, go to the gym, etc..., or for when I head up to the mountains for fishing, camping, etc. Also, I still use it to tow, haul loads, or when it snows. The swift is just what I drive back and forth to work 5 days a week when the weather is good. Saves me a good amount of money on gas. It gets 46 mpg, the truck gets 10.

Here it is. It isn't pretty, but it gets the job done. Paid $1500 for it. It paid for itself the first 6 months I owned it.

Dude, you drive a friggin' Cabrio and you're talking about revoking a dude's Man Card? You don't want to know what those of us in the air-cooled VW world say about Cabrios

I know I know, I do need to get some pictures up of the rig. I guess I'm being silly and waiting around for the leveling kit before I show it all at once. I did post some pictures of the tires themselves in one of my posts, but not sure which one. I'm still waiting for my tax returns to come back. Still confused as hell with what to do with it. I don't know if I want to buy new wheels, or a detroit true-trac, or just keep the money and save it....lol.
