OK we all own MINIs but what's your second car?
Yoda - I had a '71 Super Beetle in that exact same color when I was in high school. Yukon yellow, if memory serves me right. I noticed something peculiar about my car, as well as other VWs in the same color (if they still had the factory paint job) - they seemed to attract flies in the summertime. 
I'd be interested in buying that Super Beetle (I've had the itch for an aircooled VW for years now) from you if I didn't have more project cars than I could handle... Good luck with the sale - it's a beautiful car!

When we first bought our MINI we had a 2001 Honda Accord as our second car. We later traded that in for a 2004 Volvo XC90 2.5T AWD. Then we sold the mini for a 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser.
I fully intend to return to the MINI family when our kid gets a bit older and we don't have so much junk to haul on cross country trips.

99 Dakota 4wd winter beater (210k miles)
78 Mazda RX7 Savanna GT (RHD true JDM import 26k KM)
I'll have to get a couple pics up...the RX7 is all torn apart for the winter since i'm finally finishing the restore on it.
Oh and a crapload of motorcycles...mostly vintage honda...and a Duc 996 for good measure.

First we got the DS R53 for my wife, tweaked it a little..
Then about 9 months later we got another Mini: my R53 GP #0064
I used to have a companycar, unfortunately my new work wouldn't provide one. So I got myself a GP :D

My second "car" is my 2004 Dodge Hemi Ram 1500 pickup. It only gets taken out of the garage when I need to haul or tow something....or I just get the urge to drive around town and get 12mpg and then spend $80 to fill it back up. 
Needless to say...I drive my mini 95% of the time

VW Passat. I actually got the Mini because the Passat was becoming unreliable (after 90k miles
). I still have it for my kids to drive but definitely not for long trips. I think it will be a while before I consider VW again.
