My old car is a 1995 Mustang GT, completely modded EXCEPT the engine (that will be a long term project). I rarely drive it now with the MCS... but I still love it and won't get rid of it! Once in a while I just HAVE to have some American V8 goodness.

Wifey stole my MINI a few years ago and I had to buy her a new 325i to get my MINI back. Munchkin has the old 99 CRV.

other cars

My wife, Bobbie, has the first '04 EB/W MiniS. 2nd car is my modded '02 mini-S. Old '86 Trooper for dog trips and firewood. Gave my daughter the '03 WRX wagon (with 4 winter tires, best snow car, ever) and took the '97 Outback back from her for deeper snows and carrying music equipment. I love that WRX but the Mini is my first driving choice. Love the nimbleness, cornering and the mileage.

Cooper is the primary commuter, chore and errand runner. Damned fun,nice ride. I'm very happy I got it, been almost a month now. I don't miss the other cars I've had before, and since I've not driven a Cooper S I don't know what I'm missing ;-)
I did get the Sports Suspension Plus on the Cooper.

Other car is the '83 911SC, 62k miles, driven 2 to 3 days a week, want to keep it at about 6-8k miles per year.

Redneck pimped up '99 Tahoe - brush guard with a bunch of Cibie lights mounted, flares, and tail-light guards. No gun racks though because I can't bring the guns on the property where I work.

Also have custody of the opposite extreme - LL Bean edition Subaru Forester w/ kayak racks.

And two Triumph Speed Triples.

Plus a '57 MGA roadster.

Well, my name is on the wife's '01 CR-V lease, but I rarely drive it. We turn it in come March and will probably get a Honda Element.

My second car is (my dad's) is a X5 4.8, traded the nagivator last week.
We just sold our apartment in Chicago, so he's looking for a toy, a Bentley GT, or an M5. I really don't care which as long as I get to drive it to prom. My mom goes "ghetto" with a lowered Silver Explorer Sport Track "Adrenelin" with 20in TIS 04 Rims. She's got a 510 watt Pioneer stereo, with two 12in subs in the back. My dad hears her coming and just shakes his head and says, "When will she realize she's not 17?"
