'95 Dodge Ram 1500, 5.2 L V8, 4WD. I get a whopping 11 MPG combined last time I checked, and according to some friends at school, it'll put out about 300 HP with a top speed of exactly 100 mph on the dash on the straight and flat, wide open.
It needs bodywork in every way imaginable, an alignment, a steering box, and the frame is rotting out. But, to this day, after 200k miles, work-truck abuse, daily driver abuse and 5 years sitting outside in New England, it STILL starts up by the third crank every time, and runs smooth as butter. That, and the 4WD and 4WL lights are blown, and the ABS light won't shut off (even though I don't have ABS), and the "BRAKE" light won't turn off. Eh. It'll still smoke that ricer at a stoplight. Not bad for 21 years of rust, eh?
It replaced an '03 Passat that.. well, I can count the things that
didn't give me problems on ONE HAND.
And my daily driver is one of
These, an '83 Yamaha MAXIM 550. It'll do a little over 100 with your head down, and will get 60 MPG doing 50 or so, with a quad-carb in-line 4. ImHappyWithIt.jpg
