OK we all own MINIs but what's your second car?

I picked up a Honda Ridgeline pretty cheaply at the end of the 2007 model year when I got sick of the kids kicking the back of my seat in the other cars. The Ridgeline is just about the perfect family car -- a big sedan with a decent-sized lockable trunk AND an open bed big enough to hold everybody's bicycles, or bring home bulky stuff from the hardware store, or move furniture. I only use it when I need to, but it's great to have. And the beauty is that the other cars are now just for me and one passenger.
2007 Honda Ridgeline
2005 MCS (daily driver)
2007 Ford Mustang GT with Ford Racing suspension (fast weekend toy)
1991 Mazda Miata British Racing Green Special Edition (pretty day toy)

Plus i like the foreign cars so much better then the domestic cars. they seem to have more "personality"

We will have 2 MINIs come April.
We'll keep my current daily driver, a 2000 Subaru Outback and probably share it with my in-laws, whenever they need the hauling space. Back when my husband got his MINI in 04 we still had a 94 Sentra as well as the Subaru, but its gone to car heaven.

I only have the Mini. I walk back and forth to work, and pretty much anywhere else in town. Unless I'm "driving" driving I walk, and my "driving" driving is usually is usually 3-6 hours.
2004 MC, and as of Sunday a 2006 MCS for husband (bought from a fellow NAM member). And husband still has his beater, the '94 Nissan Altima until we can find somebody who wants to give it a good home. Or even a bad home, don't care much as this point. Come Sunday, it will NOT be parked in the garage, that's for sure!
Ours
Frontier Crew Cab for work, wife has a Liberty and the mini is now the weekend toy which I am not getting to drive much...too busy with work...sucks...some times I have to throw the milk down the drain as an excuse to run to the store at nite in the mini
Nice! I retired my 2004 GTO to get my 2004 MCS. I still was able to keep an LS1 Pontiac, though...
I miss the torque, RWD, and overall thrust, but I don't miss the heft and gas mileage.
Here was mine:

Besides the PW/B 06 MCS, i've got my 1999 Land Rover Disco and my other pride and joy, a 1971 Alfa Romeo GTV with some nice options. If I had kept my 65 356C Porsche my corral would be looking sweet.
