Post and describe what kind of car or truck you own (Pictures are optional).
I drive a 1997 Jeep Cherokee. It's color is dark green and surprisingly has very few dents for it's age. No visible rust has occurred, and still drives like new. Though the main attraction in my opinion, is the total mileage. With only 61,000 miles on it, it's surprisingly low for a vehicle of it's age. Also, it recently got a new radio that is compatible with MP3 players, now I don't have to burn CDs just to listen to my favorite music. Plus, since I just got my driver's license it feels nice to not have to take my dad with me to places for once.
Though the downfalls of it is that it always has issues, mostly small ones though. Like recently the AC got a leak, I haven't bothered with getting a mechanic to check it yet since the icy season is coming. Also, since it's a V6, the gas mileage is a tad much. Even though I don't drive much, it still pains me to spend a lot on the gas.
But other than that, I love it! It's a beast in terms of power, it drives smoothly, and most importantly, it takes me from work to home and visa versa with no issues.  |

Hi Jake,
I drive a 2002 Dodge Caravan, converted for wheelchair use by Vantage Mobility International, Phoenix, AZ. The van has an automatic door opener, then if I want, it kneels down, and out comes the Northstar in-floor ramp. If I am by a high curb, I press the button to not kneel. I have the EZ-Lock restraint system installed, which means thanks to the bolt on the bottom of my chair, I lock in like a 5th wheel, no transferring. I get about 22 mpg, and really enjoy driving it. Thanks to a not so good installation for the rear passenger a/c, it costs me over $900.00 to fix the problem, but otherwise the van is nice to drive. Must be fun driving the jeep, great for the country fossil hunts.
