OK we all own MINIs but what's your second car?
After the morning discussion between my wife and I over who gets to drive Ralphie (MCS), the "loser" gets our 2005 Land Rover Freelander...which we are extremely happy with, but not quite as much fun to drive

Ford F-250 Superduty
2002, White, Supercab, short bed, 4x4, 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel.
1999, White Subary Outback LTD
2004, Silver BMW R1150RT
The Superduty was my daily driver in San Francisco for the last 4 years. My wife usually drive the Subaru and the motorcycle doesn't get ridden quite as much as it did since I got the MINI.[IMG]images/smilies/smile.gif[/IMG]

While I'm waiting for Baby (till we come up with an appropriate name for her) to jump off the ship in NJ I'm driving a 2001 BMW 740 iL. Once Baby gets here the 7 will probably go. My husband has a 1991 BMW 850i and a Chevy truck.
p.s. after driving the MCS I believe I like it better than the 850!

01 Exterra. Since the Mini arrived, it's only used to tow or haul cargo.
93 Ninja 600. Gets used just about anytime the weather allows.
01 Geo Prism. Wifes car. Bought used last year because she didn't like paying for gas in the Exterra and that was before $3.00/gal gas. Don't think this one will last long. Looks like we may become a 2 Mini family.
Mine is a '06 MCS. No, I'm not selfish. Since we have been married, my wife has had 4 new vehicles. At 40, this is my first ever.

Silver Streak and Slo Brown (or down if behind me)
Our second car is a 2001 Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon. Faster than the MINI. The MINI is quicker and more fun. But with the kids, the Saab is way more habitable. My other car is a 1983 toyota biodiesel pickup. You know how quick the MINI is. I've told you the Aero is faster. The pickup is 0-60 in Arizona (actually, from the east, by Winslow). But, of course, I don't have my old recliner in the back of the MINI, stylish for watching my son's rugby games.
