Best pilot cars

[XLR8]

I agree, Honda's are the way to go! Although I have a 2000 Accord EX right now, I plan on running it until it is on it's last leg. My last car was a Honda Civic and sold it with 263,000 miles for $1,700. Never had any major problems with it, it actually looked good too when I sold it.

86 Ford Bronco II...I never wash it....insurance and registration is almost nothing....never lock it...and the best thing of all is that the rear window opens upward so I can toss my boards in there and not deal with racks

BMWs

91 318i Black on Black - Hers
92 318ic Black on Black - Also Hers

Nothing fancy, well built, and easy to work on.

I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
Outside the Seven-Eleven store.

Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
And he rides with me from town to town
We only run for the money, got no strings attached
We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down.

My airport car is a 1985 Subaru GL-10 4x4 wagon with 234,000 miles. Runs like a champ and I love it! It has been all over the country and has been very reliable. At home I drive a 97 Explorer XLT with all the options (a gift from my father-inlaw who I think took pity on me and my brown wagon!) but I still can't part with my lil' brown subaru! Fly/drive safe all- Wil

1992 Range Rover County is my town car and toy.

1987 Chevy S-10 Pickup for the airport car. Not a scratch, but plenty of jet fuel fallout on the paint. Runs like a top and has cold a/c.

1994 4 Runner for the wife.


We FIRMLY believe in letting someone else depreciate the car for a few years.

I drive an '03 Jetta turbo. I know the military pilot stereotype is something with two seats and more horsepower than it knows what to do with, but looking around the OG parking lot, those are pretty rare. Most pilots I know have a pretty much white bread 4-door sedan.

Of course, my VW will beat a Camaro or Mustang 6-cyl off the line and tears up most U.S. or Japanese cars through the slalom

Of course, my VW will beat a Camaro or Mustang 6-cyl off the line

thats cause the six cylinder mustang and base camero dont break 200hp. (the mustang is 193). Despite the decent pickup your turbo may put out it'll get smoked by some real muscle versus the boost you get at high rpm.

'97 Ford Explorer. You gotta love Ebay. I also have a fully dissasembled 1970 VW bug. It is a long term project I began back when I was in college before I even thought about being a pilot.

Top this!
'88 Samurai.
Rust in the rear, removable doors and top, and camo paint. Fuzzy a$$ black seat covers that always leave a little fuz on my camelback nozel, and almost the most aerodynamic vehicle in the world. I can actually be pulled by a big rigs draft if I get close enough. lol

I can't believe the thread has gone this long without mentioning the Chevy Chevette. All these playboy hot shot pilots and no one with a studly Chevette? Of course, mileage unknown, bonus points if you have any of the hub caps left.

AMEN to paid off cars!

Gotta keep the wife in something newer and reliable, but as long as mine gets to work and back and starts all the time, its a winner!! Money is better spent elsewhere!!

Gotta laugh at the few pilots who drive 50-60K luxury SUVs and $hit like that...I have even heard of 900$/month payments on these F'n things!!

Car payments are a huge waste!! ...


now, boat payments.....theres another story...

[skyking1976]

Mine: '89 Mercury Grand Marquis Wagon... yes it has fake wood paneling...

Hers: '90 Ford Tempo... rusty, but it runs like a top...

 

[kabz]

99 Miata Red with 142,000 miles on it. Still runs like new. Leaks like a bastard though.
