OK we all own MINIs but what's your second car?-mini-and-chevelle.jpg

My 1969 Chevelle Malibu was driven daily from 1994 to 2003. You can check the following link for some older photos and a sound clip: http://www.musclecarcalendar.com/Car...RoadKings7.htm

You can also check out my girlfriend's 1966 Chevelle Malibu, also a former daily driver:

The MINI is my primary car, a '05 S with a manual transmission. Options include S-lite wheels, limited-slip diff, front fog lights, and chrono pack.

If it's a nice Saturday or Sunday I'll drive one of these:



Sometimes the wife allows me the privilege of driving her car:


And on a nice weekday when I want a change of pace I'll drive this one to work:

Yikes, Fire!

The second car (92 Pathfinder) was on a mission towing our son's VW GTI VR6 to the shop for an engine swap this afternoon, when all of a sudden that nasty hot smell and smoke started pouring out of the dash. Fortunately they were able to get off to the side of the road and let things cool down. It was then MINI to the rescue! I had to go get the men to come home and get my husband's gas guzzling Ford F350 to complete the mission. The Pathfinder sits alongside of the road waiting to be rescued and diagnosised for the cause of the burn up.

My second car is a '95 Volvo 850 GLT and I'm not sure why I own it because I haven't driven it in months. Worse: sometimes I forget I still have it because it is parked on the street around the corner from where I live and then *poof*, I get a personal property tax bill for it.

A Toyota Sienna. It's perfect for hauling the family around in and it's what the wife wanted.

I currently have a 91 Sentra SE-R that could use a little freshening up, but i would like to replace it with a Volvo 850 Turbo Wagon, or a late '80s Saab 900 turbo so I have something to haul stuff around in.
