The other car at the house is a 2003 Jeep Liberty. And after picking up my new MINI today and seeing the Countryman at MINI of Pittsburgh, the wife might be seriously thinking of getting rid of the Libby and getting a MINI herself .

Our other vehicles are an '08 Honda Odyssey, which is the best all-around vehicle I've ever had, as it does everything well (I can even get a 4x8 sheet of plywood in it in a pinch) and my wife's '06 Forester XT Sports with the Cobb turbo-back exhaust and 300+ hp Accessport tune.

Cars are like shoes. If you wear only one pair of shoes, they'll wear out quickly. If you have many shoes, they'll last a long time.

I don't insure all my cars year round, most are summer cars. Most of the year they only have comprehensive insurance on them. The really old ones have vintage car insurance on them, that's pretty cheap.

Airplanes. Cessna 172N, and a 152. I'm in a club, so they're not "mine", but it feels like I own them.

My other "car" is a Roadtrek RV called Sophie. I also have a Prius called Phoebe, but Phoebe is on the auction block right now. I have her up for sale to help pay for my new MINI, Maxx.
