What Do Mature Gamers Drive?

Well, as the thread title says, I thought I'd see what kind of wheels this community has. Show off your ride, whether it be a pedal-powered bicycle or a million-dollar supercar or just a pair of runners :p

I'll start by showing off my new baby. She's my second car (I kind of wrote off my last one (http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr343/MNDF_gfx/Non-GFX%20Stuff/DSC00107.jpg)) and I love her so much I'm hesitant to say whether I love her or my missus more (...not really >.> well, maybe...). Anyway, she's a 1997 Holden Commodore VT SS that I got only a few days ago with the insurance money from my previous darling:

I somehow managed to find it for $5,300 when it's in near perfect condition, has only done 175,000km and has a brand new split-system exhaust on it.

As you may have noticed, I love cars, so show off yours :D (even if it isn't a car >.>)

My first truck was a 1980 Toyota Pickup. Best truck ever! My brother recently fixed it up and made it into something scary.

My truck for the next 10+ years is a 2009 Toyota Pickup. I traded in my last car (Honda Accord) otherwise the payment would kill me ;)

Very nice! That thing looks like it could survive a war. And, if it's anything like the old Toyota Hilux utes, it probably could :D

And I'm loving the bike, Iggy, what sort of speeds can a thing like that do?

[Rob]

Thanks! It survived me and my brother as teenagers and we tried to beat that truck to death. Couldn't happen even after we drove it through creeks and off jumps. We never lit it on fire but i'm sure it would have been fine. It's why I like Toyota trucks so much.

I trust you saw the Top Gear episode where they tried to destroy one? You should enjoy it immensely.

Great! I have seen it before but posting it here was an excellent idea. This doesn't get old for me. The third video speaks for the quailty and strength of the old Toyota pickups. I'm sure that newer trucks are to intricate and full of electronics to withstand such abuse but I like to think they still have a rough side. Now I want to get the "Yota" back from my brother haha. It has always been more of my truck anyways lol.

Has anyone else here had vehicle that they swear was indestructible?

Also, Iggy how heavy is that bike? I'm 175lbs at 5'10" and i'm curious if I could handle a bike of that size. I have been looking into getting a bike that is comfortable and has storage for day trips around the area.

It is a little under 1000 pounds with a full gas tank. I am 509, 185 and I can handle it. It has electric reverse so you don't have to toe walk it backwards. It is a big heavy bike, but it is balanced pretty well. Once you get it moving it is quite nimble considering its size.

It is also fast. It has a 1.8L flat 6 cylinder in it, 118 hp, and it will do 0-60 in under 5 seconds, and will top out around 125 mph.

But, you can ride for hours and hours and not put your butt to sleep.

I know very little about bikes, but according to my other half, who is more knowledgeable about these things than I am, the Goldwing is basically an armchair with handlebars with regards to comfort. :D

It is indeed. Very comfy, I have the comfort package with heated grips and heated seat. It also have built in SAT/NAV, cruise control, adjustable headlights and suspension, AM/FM CD MP3 player, intercom, all the toys.

My ride? For transportation I tend to rely on these:

It's not exactly the same model as my ride, but close.
On colder days I roll in this baby:
