Recently got a '93 Probe GT (I know, a F*rd!), 2.5L V6 for $800. Gets good mileage, reliable, I know every previous owner, good shape, books for $2500, etc. Gotta have 2 vehicles!

got tired of putting 110 miles a day on the blazer, so I bought a Chevy Aveo last May. Low on options, only has air and the MP3 player....gets between 32-35 mpg. (4 cyl, 5 spd)
fixing to pay it off as soon as my tax refund comes in
1 year payoff not bad for a new car.

I daily drove my old V6 camaro that I had before my Z28 for 4 summers and 1 winter, and I will never DD an f-body again. I'm in the great white north and trying to rely on a car with that much torque, RWD and 4 inches of ground clearance as reliable year round transportation just doesn't work.

wow, that is the first picture i have seen when it is not sitting at the truck lot. But then again, i think i have only seen one pic of your k5 sitting in the driveway a million times.

Well since my 78' k5 tube bluggy on 39.5's would attract some attention from our Officer of the Law friends
and my 79' K20, 4 speed, 350 tow rig sucks down about 10-11 mpg
I found a cheap 93 Yj, 4cyl, 5 speed to DD
i think i get about 20 ish in it with 31's and stock gears
and it's makes a fun DD / streetable mild trail rig
(plus i bought it off a friends boss for 600 bucks, so how could i go wrong
)
I do drive the k20 at times, but try to go with the jeep the most often for better fuel economy
I'd like to buy an older mechanical injected 96-ish Cummins Dodge 3/4 ton 4x4 truck with a stick then sell the 79' k20 so i could tow my Bluggy AND get good fuel economy driving it to work, but thats a year or two down the road yet
(I wish GM built a Turbo diesel, 4x4, ext. cab, solid axle truck, ETC- i would so prefer that over a dodge or ford. Why is it my favorite vehicle brand is the only one that didn't keep the solid axle around in the heavy dutys
)

i use to drive my 79 shortbed dd but i rearended someone and decided to rebuild it.
so i picked up a 92 2wd s10 with a 2.8/5 speed. do know what it gets for mileage but it sure beats whatever a 400 hp 350 does
