Our Cars (dream or actual)

@Appfaff oh damn you're in the panhandle? For some reason I thought you were way more south. My parents live in Fairhope, AL, so similar world.
Lol we just sold our Fairhope house in December (we had a place downtown on School Street)- we lived on the Eastern shore for 10 years!!
We moved here in 2019 for a job opportunity after I traded in my shares of our CrossFit gym in Daphne.

Ha!!! That’s wild! I’m originally from MS but my parents moved there around 2013. It’s a pretty place!

Very pretty place indeed. We loved being there - lots of memories for sure.

Well shit, we'll have to grab a coffee or something next time I'm down that way. God knows I'll want a break from my parents at some point
-
Heck yeah! I’m only 2 hours away, so holler!

Added a James Baroud tent, tunnel, awning, and awning walls to my FJ. Still waiting on a couple of other pieces of gear to more or less complete the build.

For whatever reason, I am pretty into the old Volvo 240s. Maybe its because my dad had a lot of them when I was young, or the fact one was my first car, or the fact that they're quite literally, just a car with not a whole lot of electronics. Anyways, a friend of a friend was selling her 1992 Volvo 240 wagon, and today I picked it up. Needs some light maintenance, but other than that, its pretty damn solid.
In one of the photos you can see our other wagon, however it won't be with us longer as it is super rusty and is suited for a better life in Ohio. Our 88 240 sedan is at my dads, but hopefully before the gold wagon is sold we can manage to get a photo of all 3 together.

@sethatwork great cars, my first was a beige ‘84 240 sedan in 2000, drove it until it was up over 250k miles. How many miles have yours done?
-
@QuantumMechanic that is fucking sick. Kudos, I know you'll have amazing adventures in that FJ!

this burgundy one has over 250k with a broken odo i have to fix, gold wagon has over 198k with a broken odo, and our blue sedan had over 123k with a broken odo for over 10 years before we just fixed the odo gear

Thanks @Seul & @mclaincausey I just put on some LP6 fog lights and am awaiting headlights to arrive from LA. They've been stuck with US customs for 3 weeks but should be in British Columbia shortly.
I'll post more pics.

Wife is working with the Porsche 911 Owners Club. They do various tours where they bring most of their model range and let the drivers rotate through them on scenic drives. Not one of these has more than 20 miles on it.
Pretty ladies all in a row
I’m a little nervous about how they parked my car (
)…
Crowd favorite is the Panamera Turbo S. That picture didn’t turn out.

I just returned from a week in the mountains overlooking the ocean.
The build continues.
I will soon have a triple battery system. This will be coupled with a highly efficient mil-spec 120W solar blanket. My Snomaster fridge should be here next week.
-
That is an amazing set up you have there…can imagine overlooking the ocean with this rig must be the best.
-
Thanks! It has been a fun build that is for sure. Only a couple of things left to do really. Install new headlights, backseat delete and perhaps more armour underneath.
Here was the view by the beach.
