$180 is much cheaper than the upgrade to the performance data & video recorder $7K

mine will measure 0-60 time  - maybe 0-100 - not 1/4 mile
What I like about the dragy is that it’s very accurate, and it will even tell you how level the road is that you’re on as well as the density altitude, which is very important.   Plus, he keeps a history of your runs, let you measure your 60 foot rollout when you do a quarter mile and fun stuff like that

Since 1997 I'd had exactly two cars. Heh.
3 for me.

1995 Chevy Blazer 1995-2007
2005 Chevy Tahoe 2007-2018
2015 Ford F150 2018-present

If the trend holds, I'll be looking for a new car around 2029 or so.

When it comes to cars/trucks, you gentlemen are smart.  A claim I cannot make regarding myself.

If I go all the way back to 2007, it'll be 5 cars. However I can't *completely* take credit as I was still in college so I didn't buy those two. One was a heavily used 1989 Ford Probe GT that we bought, and then that was replaced when my grandma stopped driving and we sold the Probe b/c it had less miles than her 1985 Chrysler LeBaron Turbo so I started driving the LeBaron. 

If we're talking cars that I've actually purchased (for myself; i.e. excluding wife's vehicles), it's three since 2003. 


  • 2000 Ford Ranger (sold in 2012 to buy...)
  • 2009 Jeep Wrangler (still owned)
  • 2014 Ford Flex (daily driver)

I did have one company car from 1999-2001 that I didn't count.  It was a 1999 Dodge Stratus. 

My i s c & a aggie wife has also had 3 since '97.

1992 Honda Accord 1995-2004.  Best car either one of us has ever owned and I wish we'd kept it instead of selling it to my sister who gave it to her son, my nephew, who totaled it a couple of months later
2003 Toyota Camry Solara SLE convertible 2005-2020.  Untrustworthy piece of shit but she liked the way it looked.
2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2020-present.
