What do you roll around in every day? Whether it's your reliable commuter, a classic ride, or something you're tinkering with, let's hear about it! Personally, I've been getting great mileage out of my trusty Subaru Outback. I sometimes think about upgrades, but then I remind myself how handy it is in all weather. Share pictures and stories about your wheels!
 
2011 GMC Sierra with 160K on it, or a 94 Honda Aspencade with about 62K miles. Both a little but long in the tooth, but still running perfectly (knock on wood). I could afford newer if it wasn't for this expensive gun habit I can't seem to kick.

Over the years I have driven just about everything made in the USA, current wheels is a 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Big enough to haul around a lot of gear, enclosed so relatively secure and gets great gas mileage both around town and especially on the highway.
 
Great vehicle for a young family. I have owned a Jeep in the past, but a Wrangler with 2 tops and the oversize wheels. My children enjoyed driving it in the snow on the way to school.
 
Right now, I'm driving a 2018 Chevy 1500 standard cab. I drove Ford trucks for years, but around the year 2000, Ford's designs made DIY repairs difficult. I have no problems working on my Chevys.
 
I was a daddy's girl, took after his side of the family and grew up fishing, hunting and doing auto mechanics and body work out in the garage until I joined the Army. In the Army I did not follow traditional female job roles. Instead of running a typewriter I worked on helicopters and airplanes, shot rifles and pistols. I spent two tours in war zones and became an instructor then finished off a 30 year career as an Aircraft Maintenance Officer and Test Pilot. Up until you needed thousands of dollars of test and diagnostic equipment to work on about any and everything mechanical from small engines up to and including jet aircraft and everything gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel driven.
 
I have a Nissan Rogue Sport and a Janus Motorcycle. The Motorcycle is easy to work on myself and something I enjoy doing. The salt air out here on the east coast has not been nice to the finish so I will have some work to do to make it look like it should. ... Today's outing

@Indigo22 That is a good-looking ride. And I understand that the salt from winter can be an issue for the body of any vehicle.
I also like the setting of that photo.
