Carrera T on Michelin Alpins, though I won’t drive it in deep snow or when it’s actively slushy/nasty out — frozen salty bull**** gets all caked in the wheel wells and it’s a PITA to clean

For bad weather or when I need to haul stuff (or people), I have an AWD Gen2 Ridgeline

A friend bought this new & then sold it to another friend who bought it to help him during a financial pinch.
Then I bought it from him because I’d always wanted one.

My wife drove it from 52k to 93k & then we sold it back to the friend we bought it from.
He drove it until it had 117k & then I bought it back from him.

When I’m done with it he says he’d like right of first refusal.

Anyway, here is my 5-owner Rover. All 3 of us owners know each other well though!

I'd have to take that car away from you if you subjected it to salt and ice. :P

That’s the beauty of living in SW Florida, my summer car is my winter car. I just wear long sleeve shirts occasionally.

@DBH Wow - that’s crazy (or the daughters were…). I’ve had mine since 2005 and have put 85K miles on it since. Total miles over 110K which is quite rare as most of these don’t get driven and enjoyed as intended. It is such a blast!

Such a great engine. Have driven it in many E39 M5's. Can only imagine how good it is in a lighter car. Also the sound with no roof.

Great looking car! Thanks for posting the pic. I'm glad you continue to drive and enjoy it.

I usually drive my F150, but the ol' 91 Cherokee is a lot of fun. I got the front diff high centred on a stump. My son had to pull me off with his 89 Comanche. Definitely a different driving experience from my 911!
