My wife drives an '07 BMW 328xi black with grey interior. awesome, classy.
And just a step or two behind the MINI on the pure pleasure of motoring scale.

Its hard to decide which one to I like to drive more so I rotate between a 2003 MINI, a 1963 mini pick-up, or a 1973 mini. Which by the way all three fit in the two car garage just fine. We make the wife's 2006 Ford Escape set outside.

our other car is a 1998 civic coupe.. Just got 45 mpg on a long highway trip.

I'm trying to convince the girl to sell the civic and buy a clubman... might be a few years, but it'll happen...

My hubby drives a Honda CR-V EX-L. The heated leather seats this winter were what convinced me that Viola had to have them too. Sooooo nice! It's a very swanky ride.
