Let's start with the 06's (my wife and I had each purchased new vehicles right before we met)
2006 GMC Sierra 1500 2wd
2006 Mazda 3 (wife's car, only 50k miles on it!)
In an effort to keep some miles off the truck, I picked up a CPO 2011 Malibu LTZ V6 back in January to daily drive
The fun car is my 1974 Buick Apollo (think Chevy Nova, but with more attractive tail lights). It has 27k original miles.
So, yeah, they all have automatic transmissions. I've had the Buick for seven years now, and it's a great cruiser (never failed to start either). I'm toying with the idea of selling it, and using the funds to build a budget race car. The Apollo is too nice to tear up, and I don't have the cash-flow to go full on pro-touring. If it goes, you can count on its replacement having a manual trans.
Oh, the Buick doesn't live at the storage facility anymore, but my picture I took today didn't turn out. I actually managed to find a way to get all the vehicles in and out without moving any of them.

That Buick looks great! I've never heard of it, and like it.

Yay, first gen Mazda3! My favorite gen of the 3 so far. And that Buick is awesome! So cool to see one in such good condition.

A fellow 2wd truck driver. I like that. How much for the Buick? Not that I have the money, but I'm curious.

Thanks! I love cruising in the Buick. I don't really fit in the 3 too well, but it's a great little car. Literally one part on it has broken in 8 years (granted, super low mileage).

Thanks! They didn't make too many of them. Mine is the only one I've ever seen in person.

2wd, locking rear end, and snow tires. Never been stuck!
I'd like to get $8k, but if someone flashed $7k cash in front of me, I'd probably be signing the title.

My 09 handles the snow like a champ, and I'm using all-seasons.
Yeah I'm too Po' for that. College and what not.

I ran all seasons for five years. When the truck was paid off, I took the plunge on the snow tires. It was worth it, so much fun.

Nice fleet! Love the Buick. Nearly all of those Apollos are gone nowadays. I've never seen one in person. Props on keeping it so nice!
