Now I drive a much more practical 3.7 litre V6 Jeep Liberty Limited that fits my giant Kino Flo light case, stands, and all my other 100+ pounds of gear and props that I typically bring to shoot locations. Ironically the T/A got better gas mileage than the Jeep which gets about 12-13 mpg. Luckilly I have set my life up so I don't have to drive often or far so I don't really miss driving a muscle car.

I rent a min-van to carry my HMI's, strobes and grip package to shoots... only $350 a week and a total, very clear, tax write off . usually get the dodge caravan with the sto-and-go seats... fold up underneath the floor for a totally clean load in and out...
I'll be out of this caddy before the warranty is even close to over
and I'm probably doing 12-13 mpg on a good day.. I figure around 5-8 in town and maybe, just maybe 15-20 on the hwy
