My daily driver here at work in Toronto is my 07 MCSC. Back home in Calgary I have an '04 Element. They have never met, so I'm not sure who is first and who is second.
I'll ship the Mini back home next year when I am done here, looking forward to taking it out to the mountains.

2006 MCS as newest of the lot - Usually my wife's ride---she likes this car more than any we have had in 40+ years of marriage----My work ride is a 2005 Magnum with 340HP Hemi, and a 1977 Austin Mini 1000 RHD in a stage 1 tune provides much entertainment
From the GreenSide, I have a few friends that are a bit upset with the 340 HEMI. . . so I buy "carbon credits" from my Austin Mini 1000 --- nice offset, I think. Ok, that's my story and I am sticking to it

MY car (the MINI seems to be dominated by my wife) is 2006 Subaru Tribeca.
A couple of my rides. We also have our utilitarian '02 Dodge quadcab pickup for hauling stuff the little cars can't.
My secondary rig is a 1994 Jeep Cherokee with a 4.5" lift. I use it to tow my 4wheeler trailer, hunting/fishing, or when I need to go someplace the MINI can't go. It's my beater.
I've also got a project rig, 1982 Jeep CJ-5. The plan is to eventually restore it. Progress has slowed down on it since I got the MINI. The MCS is just soo much fun, who wants to wrench on an old greasy Jeep when you can motor around in a MINI?
