I’ll start:

This is my 2011 Ford Fusion. Bought it about a year and half ago when I had to offload an absolute dog of a 2012 Honda Accord Sport (bought it with 82k miles and put 4 grand in repairs over the course of two years).

Found the Fusion at a local car lot with only 66k miles by the original owner and in near-showroom condition. Almost certainly an elderly person’s car based on mileage and some of the music selection I found in the glove box and CD player :LOL:

Gave it a good wash and clean out today:

Decided not to trade it in for the Mav. Given supply chain issues, I felt like it was more valuable to keep as a backup vehicle for me, my wife, and my family than it was for the few thousand bucks the dealership would have given me.

Slowest car I’ve ever owned, but somehow I’ve gotten attached to the thing. I love when a “normal” car is kept in really good condition for years so I’m gonna hold onto this one and take it for a spin every couple of weeks or so. Maybe keep it nice for the next ten years and let it be my now-five-year-old son’s first car:)

My wife also drives a 2016 Mazda CX-9 that we bought used from CarMax for $25,000 a couple of years ago. Grand Touring, 56K miles, loaded, and that gorgeous red. I thought that was a lot of money back then; I felt like we stole it now with used car prices the way they are.

I will admit the Eagle is still in the restoration process, and the jacked up comanche isnt exactly legal yet and will likely be a toy. Also the CO Maverick isnt mine, I was just stalking it. Our current DD are the V8 93 ZJ and the Grey 91 Comanche. Both got issues but for less than $3000 each(purchase and repairs) the ZJ has been with us for 6 years while the MJ has been around almost 3. Our 96 Bronco, while a beast is currently down with a potential head gasket or every damn sensor and the computer is bad and MUST be replaced with a MSD stand alone transmission controller and the motor MUST be carbureted, because FI on old V8s designed in 1962 sucks.

Dude! An Eagle! Nice score. That white and brown is a great combo. Love how the popularity of these things has started to skyrocket - a car that was way ahead of its time.

Ford Mustang Mach-E we bought in January. It’s technically my wife’s car, but we switch often.

I just sold my 2017 Subaru Impreza Sport hatchback since I got my Maverick XLT hybrid. Sold my wife’s 2013 Civic in February. Somehow we became a Ford family and we never thought we’d buy a Ford. They’ve been hitting it out of the park as far as what we’re looking for.

Its my second one, the first is rusting away in a costco tent. But here it was when we took it from Ohio to San Diego after purchasing it sight unseen. The nice paint was definitely hiding rot. This is a 2" lift and 235/75r15s.

This one came from AZ and is getting a full redneckish restoration. Its new motor came from a rotted out CJ7 (its 10 years "fresh"). Trans was rebuilt and the tcase is probably fine. Just going to go through the diffs and brakes simple style. But right now (and today if it was pouring) I have it gutted to prime and bedliner the whole floor and paint all the inside metal bright orange. Alsobuilding subframe connectors. Then we are doing a nice Raptor liner on the body. Orange with brown rockers two-tone style. I have nice orange new carpet set. We are going to make our own wooden door panels and headliner. Then swap in the cream colored dash and seats from my other Eagle. One day I want to do a 4.0 stroker or maybe a 302/C4/Dana 20 swap. The latter may require beefed axles. Really if do a stroker I will probably have to put in a Explorer 8.8 rear(with discs and LSD if im lucky) and a NP231. Id be happy with 300-350 hp, 4x4, and a cushy 70s ride. I love the float feel and the light steering wheel.

Im also going to raise and tuck the rear bumper and build a hitch for it.

Just arrived the other day. I bought this e-bike for casual riding and exercise. My cardiologist said I need to “get busy moving, or get busy dying”, so I decided to get moving. I haven’t ridden it yet, as the front wheel was damaged in shipment and I’m awaiting on the new wheel this Tuesday.
I was going to do the bike hack from Ford, but I decided to just buy a hitch mount bike rack for when I go to Pensacola Beach or ride on a Rails to Trails pathway.
I used to be a long distance bike rider on a road bike, but I have lumbar and cervical spine issues, and can’t lean over and ride anymore.
I bought my wife a 2022 hybrid Escape SE. she loves it!!
