2018 Dodge Power Wagon and wife drives a 2015 Mercedes e400. Sold my 2013 Wrangler for something a little more comfortable. Funny thing is the gas mileage is no different between the new truck and old jeep which weighs 1000's of lbs less so ya...they both suck on gas mileage.

I'm test driving a 2019 Porsche Cayman next week. Anyone ever drive one? Im considering trading in my 2018 Challenger R/T, but might hold off another year.
Currently have a 2012 Volvo s60 t6 R-Design. Safe, comfortable car. Possibly best seats I've sat in, overall I'm quite happy with the vehicle.
I drive a 2015 VW GTI that I maintenance and modify myself.
Since being delivered in April 2016 (I ordered it my way and took a few months to arrive) it has almost 100K miles on it now. It's been a super fun car to drive and only one major issue has arisen that I couldn't handle myself; a busted valve spring.

I have a 15 Cayman (pre-718). It's such a different car than an American muscle car. It's made for handling. Great car to take on a windy mountain/hilly road. Not as much straight line speed as you might expect from the price point but it's got plenty for me.
That's a long time for a '15 to be delivered. My partner has a '16 GTI and she had it delivered in very early 2016. Manufacturing date was like August 2015.
Our only problems with it have been the occasional need to recalibrate the sensors, and the turbo blowing this summer (but it's warranty so who cares).

Nice, thanks. I took it for a drive and loved it... Just not quite ready to pull the trigger. I can see it in my driveway next summer i think, though. I was immediately curious about it when they came up a few years ago (Porsche likes to winter test their vehicles in the arctic) - Loved the way the Cayman looked to handle the snow and ice, actually. They had the Cayman, Macan, Panamera and Boxster.
2015 was the first year of Mk 7 (in the US), and for whatever reason VW did not produce cars with the Performance Pack option until the end of the model year run.
That option included the bigger brakes and that sweet torque-vectoring differential which were super important to me so I felt the wait was worth it.
Aside from that, I specified a 2-dr, manual trans, SE trim level, HID's and it had to be silver. They basically had to build it from scratch for me.

I almost bought an old Merc 100 2nd gen last summer. Had like 40k on it cause it was an army vehicle at the Trenton air base. Was an auto though so I passed on it.

I learned to drive on a three on the tree. Chevy van, flat nose. 283 cu.in. Could hit 65 mph in second. I remember crawling under to un-jam the damn shift rods if I wasn't careful going from 1st to 2nd.

Nope I never have. They look pretty fun. It's really frustrating that trucks, and most cars for that matter, don't come with a standard transmission. I love driving but I just don't feel quite as engaged in an automatic
Yeah those old Cummins rams are beasts. Can't kill em. Even my old 03 6.0 power stroke has been the definition of reliable. I've had to replace the alternator and starter motor and thats about it. You're right, they don't make em like they used to.
