We have the new '08 PW MCS Cabrio and leased '07 BMW 530I. We still have the '05 CR MCS Cabrio in the garage here until we get ready to sell her. I feel bad when I go in the garage because I don't know how to part with her.

When someone asks which car is mine I usually say "all".

The cars we had just before the '05 Cooper was an '03 Infiniti G35 and an old diesel Mercedes. The G35 was a nice ride... maybe get another one after the 530 lease runs out.

My dream would be to get a Riley Elf but the husband hates them. I think they're awesome.

They are great reliable urban commuter appliances,well made ,inexpensive to buy,economical to operate,i dont see where they are a detriment to Toyota,
I'll agree the styling on the Echo took a bit of time to warm up to and the hatchback versions of Echo and Yaris look like pregnant smart cars but nothing wrong i can see with the Yaris sedan.

She loves her Camery, but prefers to ride in my Cooper now,
(since I 'modified' the seats).

I want to say the MINI is mine but I have to share her. Our other vehicle is a 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500 extended cab that is necessary for towing our 2004 28' Airstream Safari. If the MINI could tow her I would have bought another MINI.

Yeah, I know how you feel. My spouse has fallen in love with my MINI too.

I think after we're done raising teenagers, we will be a two MINI household and probably a classic mini household as well. His current plan is that we'll have a coupe, a clubman (for extra space for our dog) and a classic. I told him that if I end up with the clubman, it will be expensive because I will want all the bells and whistles.

Hubby even measured out to see if we have space to park a classic mini in the garage in front of Viola and it turns out... we do.

1993 Jeep Cherokee, which just over heated yesterday for doing to many drifts in fresh snow. Hopefully I didn't do damage to it, otherwise I will have to get a new car!

The environmentalists here will condemn us, but my wife's ride is a Toyota FJ Cruiser. We call it "The Love Boat". Also uses premium gas and has crappy mileage, but we got a great deal on it, she feels safe and its 4 wheel drive gets her up my steep driveway while my MINI needs a shoveled path. I was actually reluctant to give up my 7th Toyota when I traded it in on my MINI, but I have no regrets now. Except maybe for its inability to get up my snowy driveway. That's why I also park a Troy-Bilt 22 inch snowblower next to Bentley in my garage.

Have you tried backing up your steep snowy driveway?
