+autigerman Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I only have a 2005 Honda Civic, so I go out in that. It won't do off-road, so I guess I would have to hike. Quote
+92nty6 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Most of our caches were travelled to in Utey (my '02 Holden VU Commodore).. He's a tough little thing, dual-fuel (LPG & Unleaded) which lets me pick and choose at the bowser and comes in handy for long stretches.. He has a bit of fun dancing in the dirt.. (but has a bit of trouble in the mud.. and some clearance issues....) So when the fella bought his '06 Toyota SR Hilux, well.. it definitely eliminated the 'reckon Utey will get through..?' =) His.. Hers.. Both'll be stamped with travelbugs soon.. Quote

Hwy Apostle Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 New to geocaching but here is my daily driver: Quote
+roziecakes Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 My rig has just changed to something more caching friendly! I LOOOOOOVE it! I was caching in a 2002 Saturn SW2 (Small Wagon), which was great in a way, but had no ground clearance, so although it was pretty sure footed it just wasn't as practical for the Oregon backroads. I just bought a 2004 Saturn Vue, which actually gets really good gas mileage and is OH SO comfortable and I love the ground clearance and AWD. Everyone says it's the perfect georig for me. On top of the practical stuff it has heated seats and all kinds of room, which I love. Here's a picture before I drove it off the lot: Quote

+GeoReapers Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 We use two different Hyundai Elantra's (complete coincidence). Mine is a wagon, hers a sedan. We have progressively realized, though, that 4WD or AWD is rapidly becoming a necessity. Quote
+The Kamikaze Clan Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 1: A 2009 Yolt Yellow Toyota Yaris with a Signal the Frog on the antenna 2: A much to tuned piaggio Ciao 3. A "mini bicycle" that can be separated into two pieces. Like this one: http://pic01.auction2000.se/aukpic/va/20100402_1628/1885_1.jpg. Practical to have with me in the car. Quote
+galdrin Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Last year I bought a ride that wont be used for anything else than my and my sons geocaching trips. Last year I went over all metal and mechanical parts. This year I'll get a kitchen and 2 beds in it and if time is on my side I'll have it repainted. It's a 1972 VW type 2 panel bus with "low" mileage. Quote
+Mitragorz Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 2005 Chevy Silverado Z71, 6" lift and 35" tires. Gets me anywhere Quote
+Shelly69 Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee I call my Jeep "Tink" and she loves to take me caching. Shes also a TB. When the cache seems to be on a rougher sort of road we take my husbands dodge truck. But my Jeep is fearless and hates to be left at home. Quote
+carriejason Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Depends. Lately 04 Chevy Tahoe so we can load the bikes. Usually 07 Honda Accord, but sometimes now a 94 Chevy Camaro Z78 Quote
+TerraViators Posted May 16, 2011 Posted May 16, 2011 Just wondering what kind of vehicle do people drive while Geocaching. Do you have 4x4's for the off-road cache's? Are there road warriors that mainly stick to the ones that you can drive right up to, or hike back? The wife's Camry and my Volvo. Quote

Never had a problem with the power seats, windows, mirror. The speedometer cable stopped working about a year ago, but it didn't matter. I never used it. I have what the law calls a speeding problem.

paykersmom28 Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I will ONLY DRIVE my baby , A 1997 Dark Red Jeep Cherokee classic 4x4 - it is my "mom mobile", my joy rider - i told my husband when flying cars come into being , just slap some wings on it because i wont give it up !!!!!! Has been so good to me - ! Quote
+bflentje Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Here's my cache-mobile. Makes going after FTF's more effective but tough offroading to those rocky mountain caches. Quote
+luvvinbird Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 My rusted, cracked windshield, muddy, s**tbox of a 1997 VW Golf (with a geocaching logo in the r/rear window, BTW). My numero uno cache machine. I've located caches while with my wife in her new BMW but I'm tired of hearing "do you have to open that filthy thing in here?" so I enjoy using the Golf. Quote

+RT2K Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Never been off-road caching (that's what hiking is for and around my part of CT hikes over a mile are quite rare). However thanks to caching I discovered that my Audi A8 can actually handle up to six inches of show pretty easily. I've got a 1997 4WD F-150, but its brakes are shot so I haven't tried to off road with it. Quote
vagabond Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Usually my 94 Nissan Pathfinder 3 inch suspension lift, Baja rack is no longer on it With a TB sticker in the lower left of rear window Edited May 18, 2011 by vagabond Quote
+Mr. Wilson & a Mt. Goat Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 This is our 2003 Toyota Sienna AWD, we take it down some questionable roads... for a van that is. And yes, we were driving were the slide once was... I just got my license too, so now I'm the one who can drive... Quote
+92nty6 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Oh the yanks will have a field day with the crumblydore ute. They will want to know where you got the kit from. Haha, all quiet on the yanks front! And of all the Commodore digs, 'crumblydore' is one I hadnt gotten before! Quote
Steinninn Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I usually get around with this baby (mine is blue) Quote
+GeoJeep'n Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 This is it! The best thing I have ever owned to hit the trails with Quote
+Mr. 0 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Mostly just depends on what I'm driving at the time. The Jeep is nice for more rural caches, or those cemeteries where there's no parking but in a deep ditch, but for the most part I'm not afraid to take the street cars or bikes down rough dirt/gravel roads. 2009 Pontiac G3 2000 Triumph Tiger 2000 Dodge Stratus 1991 Honda CB250 1989 Jeep Cherokee I don't have pics of the Pontiac or Dodge handy...

+Warturtle Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 At the moment, I use an ATV. I'm not sure exactly what model is, but it looks something like this (not exactly): However, in a month I'll get my driver's license and I can start using a 1985 Jeep CJ7! Quote
+Flintstone5611 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Here is Wilma with ours at a cache in Pennsylvania. 2008 Toyota Highlander. Ironically we had a different colour and it got stolen from our home after owning it for one year . We liked it so much we decided to invite repeat offenders. Quote
+The Magna Defender Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I go caching in the ATC - All Terrain Corsa 1 Quote
+Shebaz Jenkins Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I am usually in my 2008 HHR. Works fo rus, holds the baby seat and has quick access for my pack and things. I especially like the shelf type setup in the hatch. Allows me to have my geo/hiking stuff on the bottom and still use the trunk. Other then the HHR, it's my old two wheeler peddlemobile, Quote
+Hank30721 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) For the easier - more civilized caches :-P, my wife's LJ.... For the more off-road intensive - my 1988 YJ. Modified for occasional off-road use ;-): Edited August 10, 2011 by Hank30721 Quote

+phillies26 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) That's basically what the family car looks like, with the occasional use of a Ford Explorer. So obviously we have to hike to everything. Edited August 10, 2011 by phillies26 Quote
+WizfisherFamily Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 With the price of gas getting ready to push over $3/gallon again this summer, my vehicle of choice is my bicycle. Gets great mileage. Just saw this thread and couldn't figure out what they were talking about..... until I looked a the date it was posted. lol We have a Dodge Durango (2wd) so we can't go after the 4x4 ones. I don't even think there are any around here anyway. Quote
+Team Empty Planet Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee with a 2" baby lift, soon to be supplemented by something a bit better on gas. Edited December 8, 2011 by oddfuture Quote

+CatchyCacherton Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 This is it! The best thing I have ever owned to hit the trails with Nice Idaho Plates Sometimes we cache in our Hyundai Elantra also with Idaho Plates, though most of the time we cache via Nike. Quote
+Mr_Snrub Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Here's my cache mobile, an 02 Subaru Outback, coming back from an early morning FTF on a paddle cache Quote
+GeoStar Husband Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 1997 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport 5 speed manual transmission with 215,000 miles on it. Silly thing is just incredible. It is also a TB. 33 mpg on the highway and it'll go through mud and snow, up hills and over rocks like a champ. Sure, it isn't as brutal an off-road machine as my 98 Jeep with 6" lift, Dana super 60 front and rear end, Detroit lockers and 42" MTR's, but it gets me where I need to be for substantially less CHING!
