Default Gas prices!!!!!
With the projected sky rocket in gas prices, I decided to make light of it and have people post their dd/beaters!

I've got a 1983 Datsun 280zx with horrid body cancer, no ac and no heat!

1995 Ford Ranger 4cyl / 5sp with 200k plus, runs like a champ! Even after 4k miles the oil still looks clean and still gets at least 25mpg with a best of 28mpg.
