Hand me down
Lately - what ever my wife drove until we get new vehicle -current -- Jeep Cherokee Sport - can put lots of track stuff in and poles on top. Once in awhile drive 1995 Mustang GT - last of the 5L five speeds - yellow with black leather interior (it is in mine name but the daughter who also dabbles in the vault) drives most of the time.
Plant like crap sometimes ok most times

Oh no, not a Cherokee.
I traded in an Explorer for a new '99 Cherokee sport in '99. After the 36K warranty and before 45K miles, I replaced the AC, heat, all 4 power window motors (each died within a 4 month span), brakes, and other things I can't even remember now. Currently, at 60K, none of the power mirrors or locks work, you can only lower the passenger side windows from the driver's side controls, and a host of other mechanical and electrical problems that Jeep can't figure out.
Definitely taught me never to buy american again. Trading the jeep in for a toyota 4-runner next year to go with my tacoma pre-runner.

1996
over 150K - aside from tires, oil, filters - one wheel bearing - survived two teenagers driving it - looks like an ad for used track equipment, starting blocks, scissor hurdles, numerous shoes, discus, shot, lots of bungie cords - still gets me from A to B - and the AC still works - so do windos - as long as my arm works (crank them up) - Had a Toyota MR2 that used to be my track vehicle - talk about funny with poles and javelins strapped to that - died after 250K - think the youngest boy contributed to that
