Which two back-to-back vehicles were most different for you?

Good examples might be a motorcycle to an RV, or maybe an old VW Beetle to a Mercedes, etc. Who knows? Maybe you went from a Lambo to a Vega!
I went from a 1996 Silverado to a 29-foot motorhome, and from a 1996 Tahoe to a 2014 Toyota Prius v.

Right now we own two vehicles - that Prius v (~ 43 mpg) and a 1972 Cadillac Calais (~11 mpg). If that ain't disparate, I don't know what is.

I went from a 1986 Yamaha Radian 600 cc motorcycle to a 1978 Ford F100 full sized pickup while I was in college. More recently my wife switched from a late 90's Blazer to a Z3 convertible. She got tired of it and now she drives a SUV again.

Back in... 2006? or so, when gas prices were spiking higher than ever, I got a great deal on a Hummer H2. Kept it for about 2 years, by then gas prices had declined sharply, and I was able to sell it for more than I paid. Bought a Mercedes E63 next.

But I guess that isn't too different, both had the exact same engine size, 6.2 liters.

I went from a GTO to a older Rav4. Still have the GTO but the Rav4 so much more useful for what I do with the vehicle. Example. Hauling 500lbs workout gear to the park.-sandbags, ropes, dumbbells, very large cooler. Plus the mud,dirt and sweat I bring into the vehicle after daily workouts would ruin the former's leather.
