How has it been going from high hp cars to low hp car with good handling? I test drove both an 06 and 07 MC. Fun little cars, hard to get used to the fact you don't have 400wtq to pull out into traffic

Daily driver is the MINI but my winter beater is a 5sp 2door '89 Jeep Cherokee. And when I can steal it from my parents I like to drive their '06 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T.





This isn't their exact one, but this is exactly what it looks like.

Don't you know it. I have to be sure the hubby doesn't see those pics.

On the flip side, they are so beautiful, my son is still trying to get me to go back to the pics.

My daily driver is a 2001 Pontiac Aztek (I don't want y'all to start vomiting, so I won't post a picture of it).
The Mrs. has a 99 Dodge Intrepid.
Austin is our "weekend warrior".

My MINI is my daily driver/commuter car.
The Buick is the family hauler
The 1985 Pontiac Fiero (V6) was the first car I ever bought new and was my daily commuter car until bought my MINI. The Fiero does show n shine and charity run duties now.

I hope my MINI lasts as long as the Fiero.

The new Mini is now in at the dealer, waiting paint and mods. It'll be home in a couple of weeks. More pics of the tri when she gets home. The other two are already begining to feel like used cars and started singing songs about little four bangers.

Officially jealous beyond belief of Rubino!!!
Our vehicles:
'02 MSC (mine, all mine)
'85 Pininfarina Azurra (being re-done) (also mine)
'92 Geo Tracker (I love this little rig!!!) (my winter driver)
'99 Dodge Turbo Cummings 4X4 w/flatbed (husbands)
'97 Geo Metro (husbands commuter)
'65 MG Midget (husbands project)
'70 Fugly Dodge D-100 truck (sons)
We also have a '91 and '93 model Quarter horses, and a '04 Paint horse (not daily driven-hence the very rounded figures of these girls)
and...'59 Cessna 150, '41 Boeing Stearman (money pit from hell-will probably stay in side yard forever!!!)
Still jealous of Rubino...got the need to trade for one of your beauties???
