Family vehicle is a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan (6 people requires either an SUV or a people hauler). I have a 1993 240sx in the garage. Running a redtop SR20DET. Currently needs a head gasket, I just haven't gotten to it. I also still have my previous car, a 1999 Chevy Prizm w/ ~335k miles. You can see every one of the on the poor car. That one will go cheap to someone who just needs a local runabout for CHEAP.
By and large my other vehicle is a 1993 Giant Cadex CFR-2:
In fact, I took advantage of the amazing forecast and commuted to work on that today!
2007 Honda Odyssey when hauling extended family (only has 24k on the motor) and going to Home Depot.
2007 Mercedes-Benz B200 Turbo (great grocery getter and my first Benz that started the craze will be grandfathered by my brother-in-law soon).
2009 Mercedes-Benz C300 4matic (my daily city drive was de-throwned by the Justa and now just sits in the garage will be driven again soon when I am done fiddling with the Justa and when my butt hurts from the rough suspension)
2013 Mercedes-Benz GLK 4matic (my other daily drive when I know I will be going lots of highway driving)
2014 Mercedes-Benz ML350 4matic (I call it "the couch" technically the other half's ride but I do all the dirty work, put gas, wash and detail and only drives it during Sunday to make sure nothing is wrong with it)
2011 Mazda 3 (my beater and the only car that I allow my in-laws and friends to use)
After my '16 Clubman S, I have a '72 Chevy C10, a '72 Triumph Spitfire and a '73 Triumph GT6. My wife's car is a '05 Volvo XC70, which get's it's use on long road trips when cargo capacity is key
The Mini was purchased for my daughter to drive, although I've been driving it until she gets her license in October. I have a 2007 Z71 Chevy and my wife drives a 2015 Impala. When vacation rolls around I drive a 2004 Country Coach Intrigue.
The Mini is my Summer Car. My main vehicle is a 2016 75th Anniversary Wrangler Unlimited. I also have a 2016 Harley Road Glide, and a 2005 Harley Night Train that's been extensively modified.
Love the tank from the Ducati ST series! Really gives the Monster a more powerful feeling of forward movement even when standing still. The Monster tank profile is classic but wow, this really stands out from the crowd!
Also, I’m pretty sure it’s a Monster S4 or possibly an S4R, not the more pedestrian 900. The water cooling gives it away. Tons of power in that engine — Combined with the Monster's light frame, it’s ball out fun.
