Stimpy is my Jeep, a 98 Wrangler Sahara that is highly modified. It's named Stimpy because my nickname is Ren.
Stimpy has a 4" Old Man Emu/JKS lift, 1.25" JKS body lift, Wrangler Duratrac 33" tires on stock 15x8 Gambler wheels, 12k winch, choice of hard, bikini or safari tops, hard doors or soft doors, an a bunch of other off road tools. The wires from the fenders to the window frame are tree limb lifters, our trails here in Alaska are very narrow and they keep trees from the windshield. Stimpy is automatic, three speed!!
Stimpy loves to get dirty in the mud in the summer and to play in the snow in the winter.
Open in the summer.
Driving open top in the summer leads to a muddy interior...
Closed in the winter
Fun times
Suspension flex is pretty good
Trying not to tip over
Stimpy does tow duty in the summer too, we had a 1500 miles roadtrip around Alaska towing that 16 foot trailer. Top Speed 55 mph!!

Snabb is my SAAB, a 95 900 Turbo. It is my daily driver. Bought it with 15 years old and 33,000 miles. Looked like new!
Since buying it I put Koni shocks, upped the turbo boost pressure to 15 psi with an ECU mod and added a steering brace that killed torque steer. It has plenty of power for a daily driver and has very good gas mileage, I get 26 mpg in the city and 32 in the highway. Snabb (which means fast in Swedish) is stick shift.
Only SAAB can make three spokes look good...
Prancing Moose!

Blueberry is our highway warrior, we've driven it from California to Virginia, Utah and to Alaska. It's a 2008 Subaru Forester X Sport. Four wheel drive makes it perfect in Alaska, and with winter tires it has loads of traction. Blueberry is stick shift and has a n/a 2.5 engine. Great gas mileage on the highway, does 32 mpg if we cruise.
Brand new in Utah, early 2008
Somewhere in the Yukon Territory, Canada 2008
On the road from Fairbanks to Anchorage

Pat is my wife's daily driver, a 2008 Jeep Patriot FDII, with the Offroad Package. It is surprisingly good offroad, but most other Jeepers laugh at you. It also has great traction in winter with four wheel drive, and the wife likes the heated seats. Pat has a CVT transmission and sounds like blender when you floor it.
Before the Patriot my wife drove a Prius. Gas mileage was great but it was so boring. Felt like driving a washing machine.
I've taken it offroading in some of our lighter trails and it didn't disappoint
Using the Patriot to anchor for the winch line to a Samurai that slid off the trail. Complex pull with two tow straps connecting two trees to a tackle block.

Turd is our turd, a 1992 Subaru Loyale Wagon 4WD. It is our beater with a heater. Its main duty is hauling wood for the winter. It serves as a small pick up truck, I don't have to worry about its interior since it's all ratty anyway. I paid $500 for it and will probably sell it at a profit when we get out of Alaska. Despite being a turd, Turd is very reliable. It is an auto with selectable 4WD.
Turd in -20 F weather.

The only one that's not paid off is the Forester. All the others we bought used.
None of my cars are in GT5....
