OK we all own MINIs but what's your second car?
Had a second car for a short time, but sold it within a few months of getting the MINI.
That '95 Accord, while surprisingly good looking and decent, couldn't hold a candle to the MINI, even after $3,000 in modifications ($3K goes much further in the Honda world than the MINI world).

I've got an 04 Jeep KJ Sport 4x4 with(Frankenlift II, Jeepin by Al UCAs, All J Boulder Bars, 245/75/16 Maxxis Bighorns on Rubicon Moabs). She's great off-road, but not so nimble in traffic.
Just ordered my MCSa last week! Let the modding begin

Right. The Mitsubishi FTO was never sold in the U.S., nor was any other car that shared its platform. So, where it's possible to import something like an Evo VI, which can (in theory) be registered as a U.S. Mirage, the FTO cannot be registered here. I've never seen one in the U.S.
For that matter, even in Japan they're scarce.

My wife drives a 2004 VW beetle convert. (orange). We also have a 2000 Chrys van (green) (for the antique business) and a 2002 GMC 1/2 ton (silver) for the trailers (also for the antique business). From all that you'd think the antique business is going great these days!
You'd be wrong!

Husband rides a 2002 Vespa ET4. The 99 Passat is out the door as soon as the MINI arrives. Only other car is my '68 Cougar, of which I am the second owner (after my aunt who only reluctantly passed her along in 2002 or so).
My wife and I are currently waiting for our MINI's. She is getting the Pepper White MC auto with all the bells and whistles. I am getting the MCS in Chile red as well with the 6 speed and all the bells and whistles. We just placed our order on Sunday so we have a while to wait. In the meantime I am driving a 2005 GTO. 6.0 V8 400 HP. Nice car. Has 75000 miles of pure fun on it. I just sold my wifes 2005 Toyota Corolla so she is driving my 2007 Mazda 3. Once we get the MINI's in we plan to sell the Mazda. I should be able to get a fair price for it. It's paid for and only has 6500 miles on it.
The GTO will remain in the stable even after the arrival of the MINI's. It's just too much horsepower to get rid of. Though the MINI's always pass me in the corner I get em on the straights. Pure fun!!

Pat

1998 Dodge Ram Cummins
1929 Model AA Ford Stake bed 1.5 ton truck
OK, the '29 Ford really isn't a daily driver, but darn near
. All of them are great in different ways. However, of all the modern cars I've owned, the MINI is the most fun all around. Never thought I'd enjoy driving him this much

To go along with my '05 JCW, the hubby just traded in his '03 modded to the hilt EVO to get a Clubman. The third car is an '05 Scion xB. We keep discussing if we really need to keep the xB but it's paid off and is rediculously practical and having it means that my very low to the ground JCW doesn't have to drive in the snow
