[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 1648411, member: 1535"] Ive posted pics of all of my rides here. Ive since sold a few and am now on the hunt for a new ride. Its time to finally get one of the multi use sport utility vehicles. I never pictured myself in one before but its time to give in and get one. At my place in California I just sold my 98' Toyota Supra and in my garage there Ive got my custom low rider 63' Caddy and an old crusty 76' Sporty I keep stored away. In my brothers garage in Woodland I keep my 85' K5 Blazer so if I dont feel like driving out there or dont have time I just fly in to Sacramento, go to my brothers and grab my Blazer, drive over to Modesto to check on my business, then drive up to my place on the mountain. Here in Oklahoma this summer I sold my 88' S-10 Blazer that I bought new in 88' and is what I drove when I moved out east and my custom 95' Chevy C1500 pickup that I had put alot of time in. In Iowa where I have another business I keep my little 96' S-10 4x4 pickup that I use when I'm there. It gets me around great in Des Moines during the November thru April snows. Now here I am in Oklahoma when Im home having to share my wifes 5 yr old commuter car with her and shes bitching about it (I screw with the mirror,radio controls,etc...).
