[prerunner1982]

My wife drives a 2004 Kia Sedona. Not a bad ride, but that is what happens when you have 3 kids.

I tried to get her into a Jeep Cherokee, but she wasn't interested...

[cantab27]

mine drive a black yota cynos..i dont want to talk about it

[prerunner1982]

..i dont want to talk about it :rotfl2:

Here in the states those are called Paseos.. as long as it doesn't have a big wing on the back and a big exhaust that sounds like a bunch of angry Mosquito - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I think you are ok..

[4.3LXJ]

Mine drives the 05 Outback Turbo XT. Fast and nice. I like driving it too.

[bigjim350]

My wife drives a 01 2wd XJ.

[Fred Garvin]

My wife drives an '03 Audi Allroad. Expensive as hell to maintain and well worth it! (Win turbo V6, what a rush and up to 9 inches of ground clearance when needed. The Uberwagen!!

[alwaysxj]

mine has a 2006 jeep grand cherorkee. next will be a overland.
cannot wait for that one got to love the hemi....

[bluedragon436]

Got to love the Hemi till you have to maintain it, and fill the tank up!! Other than that the Hemi is a beast!!

My wife drives a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab SB.. got to pull the horses to the shows somehow.. my Jeep sure isn't doing farm duty!!

[Paddletrucker]

My wife drives a 2003 F-250 4WD Super Duty diesel for pulling her horse trailer and her DD. She loves it. She's already told me that she has no plans of getting rid of it. A new engine is in it's future once she wears this one out.

Looking at my Jeep stuff, she's decided she wants to modify it. It's Blue with a grey strip across the bottom now. She wants to do the lower grey panels in bed liner, also do the chrome nerf bars in bed liner. She also wants to paint all the fake plastic chrome flat black and put on a black grill guard with a winch mount bumper.:D

She already took off the chrome F250 emblems to paint them black.

Hell yeah! The only good chrome is chrome that has been painted over. I like mine with no shine :thumbsup:

[steph74]

well since we car pool to work, we don;t really have a car for the wife and a car for me.... the jeep is only me though because it is stick shift and she cannot do that yet ;)

so our other cars : DD is a Hyundai sonata.... and I love it....
family trips / towing vehicle is a Kia Borrego (V6 model unfortunately) but very convenient AWD with 3rd row seating that is perfect with 3 teens

[saar]

My wife's DD is Peguat 307 2.0L

[InfernoGirl]

His is the Red one, mine is the Sienna Pearl... The XJ is for family trips (3 kids) and for our oldest two to drive as needed....

[MaxxTraxx]

my wife has a ford focus....with the most basic 2.0L split port induction engine, which is the one that has no upgrades available that are worth anything.

however, she does want a bobbed deuce and a half one day to drive around town. :)

[Metlic53]

2001 toyota camry, gotta love the gas mileage on that thing, galveston and back twice, then to houston and still have half a tank

[One_Big_Midgett]

Well since I only work 8.7 miles from home, either I ride my bike or the GF drives me to work. So she drives my Cherokee.

[ralphy]

If mine ever beats her cancer, I'm gonna put her '89 chevy suburban back togather. Injected BB 454, headers and dual exhaust, AT, and 16" chrome wheels. She loves that ol' beast.

[LizardRunner]

tried to get wolf into an xj twide now but she has decided to hang on to her mini van because of the mileage.

[pyrotech]

She drives me @#$%^&*(*%$#@$%^& nuts!!!!!!!!!!

[BrianXJ]

What wife???????????????????

[cantab27]

She drives me @#$%^&*(*%$#@$%^& nuts!!!!!!!!!!

this seems to be a popular model ....:D

[cpttuna]

my wife drives an 01 xj. she only likes driving hers, not any of the others.

[msmoorenburg]

now its a Nissan Armada

[cherokeewrecker]

My girlfriend drives a 2000 Monte Carlo SS... descent car but trying to get something different now before she goes back to school... Maybe a jeep ;)

If you are looking for a forum for it.. www.67-72chevytrucks.com has a good 73-87 (91) forum. I have been looking at suburbans for myself as well. With a larger family now I need something with more room and 4 doors.

[prerunner1982]

Wife saw a 4 door JK the other day and goes "you know I would drive one of those." :thumbsup: If only I had the $$$ to drop on one.

[Showtime3492]

2012 ford focus... p.o.s it already has a new sunroof new headliner new overhead console a new input jack for the radio that was supposed to come with it but the factory "forgot" it... Lmao another reason ill NEVER buy a ford product.

[BlueXJ]

Wife drives my 1997 Miata with rollbar and stiff suspension and a 5 speed.

Does she know you think of her as a wolf???

[Firemanray]

Pimped out Dodge Caliber. Custom wheels, "cat skin" custom leather interior, custom paint stripes.

[prerunner1982]

Would it be better if he called her a cougar? :D

[Converted96XJ]

My wife did have a 2001 Expedition EB, but being it got 11 MPG, and was getting full of electrical gremlins and the fact she drives every day from place to place for work she now has a 2008 Nissan Rogue AWD. Almost was in a 2008 Liberty but it lacked in power and felt unstable to her. I couldnt agree to pay 18K for a car she didnt like.

[cherokeewrecker]

As long as they're happy were ok! Plus with cars its better for them to make the decision than us because if something happens to it we'd never hear the end of it. I know its happened to a lot of my friends that way, and glad I dont have to deal with that problem at the moment.

[Converted96XJ]

Right... well she was in love with the liberty, in love with it, it was like new, 13K miles, it had the sliding ragtop, skyslider its called, and i knew there would be issues down the road but it was really nice. I took it out, the thing had no acceleration power at all. then she drove it and thought it felt unstable on the freeway, i drove it and it felt no better than my xj did with 170k on it.. lol

she loved the expedition, hated to give it up and misses the room a lot.

[cherokeewrecker]

Yeah. thats deffinately a downer. My girlfriend is the same with her Monte Carlo. She travels back and forth from our little town in Mass to Hyde Park in New York for school and she loves her car but theres just getting to be too many problems coming up with it so were trying to find her something else that she likes.

[DETOURS]

Wife drives an XJ........
Girlfriend drives an................................................ .....XJ.

[dagr8tim]

04 Alero, but I'm looking for a mini van. Then I get the alero as a daily, and don't have to drive the Jeep.

[BlueXJ]

Would it be better if he called her a cougar? :D

Pictures would help me determine that!!!!

[BlueXJ]

Boy that sounds pretty negative, "have to drive the Jeep". I would rather drive my Jeep than anything else besides my, as yet unaquired, Aston Martin.

I love driving my jeep at all times, except when I pull up to the pump. Plus, I park in a downtown surface lot at work. Nothing stands out like a sore thumb and makes you a target like an obviously modified Jeep.

[BlueXJ]

When I park in a downtown location I pick a spot where it is easily visible so that everyone can keep an eye on it for me. No one is gonna mess with the highest profile vehicle on the lot, was my thinking.

[cherokeewrecker]

I know what he means tho, the gas is horrible for my jeep too. Wicked gas hog, but come spring time and I get my chevy done thatll be a heck of a lot worse!

[Showtime3492]

Forgot to mention mine also has a suzuki 650 but she hasnt gone back to two wheels since she went wheeling with me a few times lmao...

[Metlic53]

New Girlfriend......;) she has a 2004 Dodge Stratus, she hits curbs 24/7. i got a call at 730 A.M. that she hit a curb and blew out the right rear tire this morning...........Do they make a small car tire with kevlar sidewalls? ;)

Get her something that will roll over curbs.

Also, if she's dragging you out of bed at 7:30, she better be hot.

[xj4life2]

Just got rid of the Focus and got her a 1994 ford bronco on 33's 351w and dual shocks option. I guess she'd rather go over than under lol lol

[BlueXJ]

Let's see wife drives Miata and girlfriend drives a ...................LOL what a thread.

[dagr8tim]

The only good miata is a monster miata.

[xjrev10]

She drives a 04 Pontiac grand am. Biggest POS ever built!

She wants a Patriot. Maybe in the spring we'll trade the car in..she also likes the 1st gen libbys.

[dagr8tim]

I dislike GM's with the fury of 1000 suns. My ex-wife had an 01 Sunfire with the main headlight wiring loom under the battery tray. Well, as GM's do, the one battery terminal pulled out and splashed acid all over this plug. I found a Cavi plug that was comparable, but had a different wiring color scheme. Took me 2 days of staring at the schematics and the plug to figure it out. Why would you make a hot for the DRL and a ground for the headlights the same color wire.

My GF's 04 Alero is slightly better. Fit & Finish still sucks. Never in my years of owning Ford's have I ever experienced the craziness of GM engineer's. And I owned a Topaz in college.

[Mudderoy]

If all goes as planned my wife will be driving this Saturday!

Well someone could always buy it from the individuals that are selling it tomorrow, or someone could offer more money. Not counting them chickens, ya know. :thumbsup:

I desperately want a wrangler. I know I can't afford a sporty little 2 seater roadster convertible, so I want a wrangler. Sad thing is that it'd be a pavement princess while I built and wheeled the XJ.

[afbond03]

Wife currently drives an 09 370z. I love Z's.

Going car shopping this weekend though since we have a little one on the way.

[Jarlaxle]

Her daily driver right now is the Easter Egg: 1997 Geo Metro hatchback. Yes, it is a 3-cylinder. About 52MPG.

She also has a 1986 Bummer (K-5 Blazer running gear with an aftermarket body) that is soon getting an engine swap to replace the worn-out 6.2 diesel, and a fire-breathing Buick Grand National.

Likey...well, everything except the wheels. They just don't work on a TJ. Needs a set of powdercoated steelies. :D

I think she is, wanna picture? :rolleyes:

[702XJCruiser]

She drives a 2005 Honda Accord. One of the finest vehicles built. It's got 60k miles on it at the moment. What's great is I already know what it's going to need. Somewhere between a 100k and 120k I'll have to put new cv axles on it and bam! Good to go for another 100k miles

New axles at 100 K and you think that's good? Is that the maintenance interview or just when they usually give up the ghost?

[702XJCruiser]

Yup that's pretty much standard for any Honda and most front wheel drive cars I can think of. Between 100k and 120k miles cv axles need to be replaced.

Just like if you buy a Dodge Ram you know you're tranny will be toast between 80k miles and 110k miles or so.

I guess I must have gotten lucky on my GF's alero. 140K and no play in the CV's at all.

[702XJCruiser]

It's all about the VTEC Formula 1 engine technology:driving:

With it's power's anyone can replace their cv's in the 100k to 120k mileage time frame. :tongue0007:

So if I throw some vtec badges on the alero, I'll have to change the CV's?

As I was reading I was waiting for someone to say this!

[afbond03]

Mine will probably be driving this as her new mommy mobile by the end of the week:

For the options it comes with and the money, just can't seem to beat it.

[dagr8tim]

With 4 kids my next vehicle will probably be a passenger van.
