Default What else do you drive?

Forgive me if there is a thread like this already, I couldn't locate it..

Anyway, what else do you drive besides your MC? I have quite a collection of other vehicles that I will post here over time, but today, I want to talk about my other car. It's a 1985 Chevrolet Citation II, I know these cars had a terrible rep, but for me, it has been one reliable car for about a year now. I picked it up for a great deal, $500 and it only had 76k original miles. Has the 2.5 Iron Duke 4 cylinder, automatic transmission. I mainly got it because it gets awesome mileage, costs little to own and insure, and makes a GREAT car for hauling my 4 big dogs around in! I call it the "Dogwagon" and my wife calls it the "Blue Deuce".
It's perfect for the dogs because I don't care how much hair they shed in it, how wet or muddy the backseat gets, nor do I care about hurting it running down gravel roads.

Here are the dogs, it's hard to get all 4 in the pictures. But, we have 2 black labs, 1 pitbull mix, and a Siberian Husky/Malamute mix.

Hi `Jon,
Super New Thread > Great Question for member's
Enjoyed reading your post about your Chevy Citation & the pictures of your Dogs (they R Beautiful)....

How's life in Central Montana ? Do you keep your dogs inside your home or outside ? How much gas does your citation use ? How much food do your dogs eat ? (lol)

Oh, I bet no one tries to break in2 your home or your rides ? (lol)....

Look 4ward to your future posts...

I love it here in Montana for the most part, especially now that it's summer! Winters can be a drag and real cold, the energy bills get old mainly, but, if you can tolerate that a guy has it made here! The dogs are both inside and outside dogs, they are outside a bunch when it's warm, the Husky prefers to be outside when it's cold because she loves the snow.
The Citation gets between 25 and 30mpg around town. And between the 4 dogs, they go through about 80lbs of food every month.

The 1LS is strictly a manual. In the Camaro you get a Posi rear and better gearing if you ride with a 6-speed. I tested the waters with having a manual DD with a cheaper 98 Camaro, and when I was content and sure that I didn't mind rowing my own gears, and financially ready to buy brand new, I sold it off and did.
