Sweet looking Type I

Mini is actually my 2nd car.

911 is my DD, trying to reach 200,000 miles by 2015, 85,000 left to go.

TDI wagon belongs to the "boss"

My 2003 R50 is my only car. It replaced the 01 Buick LeSabre I was driving.

Just a couple months ago, we sold the little missus' '98 Honda Civic and she bought a 2012 Hyundai Accent

Beautiful car, I have an 04 V and recently went up to Montecello Motor Club and blasted the Coupe and Wagon around the track. If given a choice, the wagon would be in my driveway as well. The Black Diamond looks awesome in the sun!

Yeah I saw that up above. I don't know much about the first generation Vs, but the V2 is incredible! I can't wait to track it.

My wife's car is a 2011 Lexus RX 350. She loves it, but I think it's like driving the couch down the freeway. Comfortable, luxurious, loaded with tech, but BORING!

That was a regular 944 but I also had an 86 951 that was an original ANDIAL car. Was fast but always breaking down. I have since sold both cars. The NSX is much more reliable.

Wow!!! You guys all have such great DD's and other vehicles! I am humbled. My little DD is a 2002 Toyota Rav4 4wd with 72K (low mileage since most of my time is spent in the air). My Rav is great for snow.

Once my MINI arrives (it's at the VDC now!!) it will share DD privledges but will monopolize all my fun driving - shucks! I cannot wait!!!
