+redheadedscorpio Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Started with a 91 Honda Civic (hatchback), but just picked up an 85 Bronco II.... We have only done in town caches with the civic so far, but after just learning about the California DeLorme Challenge, will be needing the Bronco more than the Civic I think.... Quote
+crusty&dusty Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 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? We justified the purchase of a 650 cc Suzuki Burgmann by declaring it as our "geo-mobile." The gas mileage on it is great, and it adds another fun dimension to geocaching. We have logged 2200 geo-miles since we purchased it four months ago. We should be able to use it 12 months a year down here in Florida. The problem arises when we want to bring our bicycles along! Quote
+tarbal Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 I have it covered for all terrain and trails 1997 F150 with extended cab. I load the Wife kids an dog and head off road. If the trails are small then I get out my Polaris Sportsman 4x4 atv and my daughters Yamoto. The next smaller trails I go with the Harro Mountain bikes. If the trails get any smaller then it is just my gore-tex hiking boots. Quote
+cachenut06 Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD Duramax, gets amazing gas mileage for how big of truck it is, has so much power its unbelieveable, and the 4wd on it never got me stuck in anything. Quote
Idaho_Clovisman Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 The ultimate Geo caching rig is your two feet use them more drive less save money feel better.. Quote

+knoffer Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 2000 Subaru 2.5 RS, Brake booster support, Custom designed forced air intake, Underdrive pulley, Customed designed and handmade undercarriage guards, High flow fuel pump, Intake fuel pressure riser, Custom honed and ported intake manifold, 20 mm rear anti sway bar, custom add on air bags for added height when needed. Gets good mileage, gets me there faster then most and I have passed more pick-up trucks and 4 wheel drive vehicles stuck on hills that I drove right up then I count. In the snow I make 4x4's look like they are standing still. Quote
+Team LaLonde Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Here's our newest caching vehicle! Quote
+Mule Ears Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 Here's our newest caching vehicle! Sweet! But somebody nearby has a serious dandruff problem. Uh huh, really? You mean it gets that cold some places? Yeah, I've scraped out the inside of the freezer but never thought... OK, gotcha. Nevermind! Quote
+rusty_da_dog Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 '99 Dodge Ram if I am driving or a '05 Jeep Liberty of my friend drives. Quote
+redheadedscorpio Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 My 1973 Honda CT-90 OOH! Very nice bike! My Hubby had a CT-70 growing up, though I don't know what year it was. He's been looking for another one, but none are in that great of shape.... Quote
+dlsolt Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 ^^^^I'll take that jeep, you can have my ride: Quote
Gryffindork Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I drive a 98 Mustang. And yes... I've taken it offroad before. I've only scraped the bottom a couple times before. I know its not the ideal cacheing vehicle, but I just got it paid off, and I think i'm goint to greatly enjoy not making a car payment. Quote

+jeff-trex Posted October 31, 2006 Posted October 31, 2006 I normally use my 2001 Chevy S-10 4WD, which I have taken advantage of many times. http://www.msnusers.com/mycachecontainers/...o&PhotoID=7 Sometimes I will use a 2001 Mazda MPV as well Quote

+JaySTE Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 1977 Volvo C303 I think I have seen your vehicle - or at least one very similar to it down here in Marysville WA. Maybe another one of the local members can tell me if the one in Marysville is owned by a geocacher. I've always thought it would be the ultimate geocache vehicle. Quote
+Gr8danz Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 This is my new cachemobile. I have now had it a litlle over a month and love it. I also have a Jetta TDI for the longer runs, 50MPG. Quote
+VeryLost Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 I've been driving a basic soccer mom vehicle - a low end Toyota Sienna, though I'm a guy, and have no kids. I didn't get it for caching, of course, but as a general purpose car. I like it a great deal, and for my suburban location it's a great car for caching. However, I've decided that it's high time I have a mid-life crisis of some sort, so now I want a Piaggio X9 Evolution 500 scooter. Quote
+Cache Heads Posted November 4, 2006 Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) This is my new cachemobile. I have now had it a litlle over a month and love it. We've had our's for the same amount of time-- it's great. We go anywhere (at least we will after a couple of upgrades...)

+kingsting Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 How's this for a geocaching rig? The 4" wide low pressure tires allow it to go almost anywhere. It works great in mud and sand. I'm just waiting to try it in the snow. Quote

The gas mileage on it is great, and it adds another fun dimension to geocaching. We have logged 2200 geo-miles since we purchased it four months ago. That's one of the scooters I'm considering, along with the Yamaha Majesty (or maybe Morphous) and the Piaggio X9. I've got a lot more research to do yet. Quote
+Jonovich Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Kinda obvious from my Geocaching tag I guess, but my Cachemobile is my Dakar 4x4. Quote
Not So Lost Puppies Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Our primary cachemobile is a 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid, though sometimes we take my 2001 Honda Insight if we don't go with our geopup. Hard pressed to find a vehicle that has a better "caches per gallon" rating (around 70mpg) Quote
+albiruni Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 I have an Infiniti G35 Coupe and I have even taken it on gravel roads etc. for caching and hiking. Quote

+KG1960 Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 For caches in my area, I usually use my '86 Chevy Celebrity that I bought for $100 a year and a half ago. Can't beat the price and it get 25 MPG around town. Quote
