What kind of vehicle do you own/drive?

Had a '17 Audi A4 for 9 years, loved it, but started having some mechanical issues. Someone in the forum raised the point about how we probably hold onto more money than we will need. That prompted me to look for a new car. I used to travel all the time in my career but now I'm home most of the time and much of the pleasure I get is from driving.

So, I traded for a '25 Audi A5. It was Certified Pre-Owned with 2900 miles so the original owner took the financial hit. First time I've had payments in 6 years, but who cares? I drive 3,000 miles a year so this thing will still be like new when I'm gone. I'm a car guy and driving it makes my day.

2015 Black Honda Odyssey Minivan. It only has 50 thousand miles so I will probably be keeping it for a few more years.
I prefer a van over a car. Im tall. Theres more room. Also I usually have some project going on so I need to be able to haul stuff for my projects.
 
Back in 2022 bought a new Hyundai Tucson hybrid after much debate, research and comparisons. It will likely be our last vehicle. I drive it most of the time, have already racked up 80,000+ miles on it. Love that car! It’s a hybrid, gets fantastic gas mileage….well it does when I drive it! Around 40 mpg. When Ron drives it drops down to about 35 mpg; he loves that Turbo boost!! 😉

He has a 2002 Ford F150 which he’s taken fantastic care of. It pulls our Polaris Razor or the bike (on a trailer,) easily, he uses it to haul stuff for work, we’ve used the truck bed and trailer to haul furniture, it’s a workhorse.

Recently he’s had trouble with the coil packs going out. It was in the shop last week for that very thing. We’ve talked about replacing it because he doesn’t think it will last through whatever driving years he is left. That’s still under discussion.
 
2024 Nissan versa and 97 F150
Favorites were by 84 Subaru wagon
and 92 Jeep Cherokee
and any Toyota I ever drove.
75 Maverick was a damned good car
And my 97 Mazda truck. Had to wreck both of those to finally kill them....
