What WERE we driving?

'18 Toyota Camry SE. Traded my '17 Silverado because I was driving over 100 miles per day for work. Now I'm closer to work, and driving a little less often (trips to the field).

No pics, because I didn't care about that car. Was just a machine that did the work I needed. The Rebel...? That's a whole different ball game!
 
I think Ram missed a trick not putting eco and sport throttle settings. Get a Pedal Commander, that does the job and makes it much better in the sport modes. I was really surprised at how effective it is.
My daughter bought my 2017 Charger R/T from me and I still get to drive it once in a while :cool:

But I tell you what, once I got the Hellwig swaybar, the Flowmaster Outlaw, and the Pedal Commander installed, I'm not missing the Charger much these days!!

15 Silverado in Rain Forest Green Metallic, which was a huge selling point to me. Had 57k on it when traded in.
Was a great truck, no issues at all.
Had a diablew tune, Gibson cat back.
Even with the tune, the Ram drives way better, and a much greater treat to drive.
Leveled with an extra 1inch block in the back to offset the weight of the topper. Only ever ran 275/60r20's on it.

2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Monte Carlo Blue. Ti sport package. It handled like a go kart and was great when it wasn’t at the dealership being serviced.View attachment 33152
I have the same vehicle in white (2018 Ti Sport). Couldn’t let it go. Even if it has spent over 2 months and thousands of dollars in a shop over the 14 months I have owned it lol

In the same boat, also a 2017........ but no way was I letting my new driver buy my 392 for her first car......She gets the winter driver.

I miss her some days, but I've completely fallen in love with my first truck. I don't know that I could go back. And with the 5.7L the truck has much more pep than I was expecting coming from the 392!

Boy, that was a nice ride!! Fortunately, my daughter is 26 and it's not her 1st car. Her first car was a used Hyundai Elantra. I too would never have let her drive a HEMI as her first car. But she lives close by (my basement!!!) and I get to drive it from time to time still so it's been a win win for me. :)
 
2017 WRX Premium - 6 speed manual. Harmon-Kardon upgraded sound system. Purchased it after my '15 Grand Cherokee was totaled.....by a.....wait for it........1996 Dodge Ram.....lol. $15k worth of damage.

I went with my wife one weekend to trade in her car for a new Forester, and this was sitting there. Someone had buyer's remorse, and came back to trade it for a bright red STI. I picked it up with less than 9k miles on it, and for 6.5-grand off of showroom price. It was an amazing car. I still wish I could've kept it AND got the new Ram!! I'll get another car one day, though. I have a '16 Yamaha FJR 1300 at home, too, that damn near matches this Patriot Blue. It just doesn't have the sparkle.
