I have a 95 GMC C1500 Full Size Truck. I paid a lot of money for it, I can't bear to part with it. I like the nice worn seat, stiff clutch and smooth ride. Every man should have a truck and a MC.

It has been described by my Porsche wrench as the being the best one he's every seen underneath. Have to keep myself reminding myself that as I'm constantly thinking about cutting it to pieces and going racing in the 944 Supercup series.

I haven't got a second car -- the MINI is it for me. Leif, however, has a Jetta and a Z4, but we don't swap. The exception being when Ollie was in the shop and I got to drive the Jetta at RPMs which made Leif uncomfortable

You'll see mine in my sig, but what you don't know about the Camaro is that it has a shredded rear differential and has since 2001 (I'll fix this as soon as time/space permit). The Coop is my only regular ride as the Spit only comes out about 6 times a year and only onto certain racetracks.
Right now my MCS is my second car & my Forester XT is my first. In late April when my wifes Audrey A4 goes back to the lease company my MCS will be my primary & my Miata will be my secondary car. The Forester goes to my wife.....thank God she's seen the light on leasing cars.

'98 Jeep Cherokee. Used as a winter (please don't call it a beater) car. 130K miles, reliable and as sure-footed as a mountain goat in these upstate NY winters.
The MINI has more cockpit space, though! No foolin!

Some of you guys have huge garages - where I live I barely have room for 1 car.
Back at my parents' house is a 1977 Corvette Stingray L-82 named Ebony. She's a car **** star- here's why
That's not mine, mine has nicer wheels but the paint's just as good.
Also in the garage is some Italian pornography - a Ducati Monster 620ie
Also not my pic, but right on the money

Both my wife and I have '72 Chevelles, a Ford truck, Suzuki Bandit 1200, and a miata. After 10 years of blissful child free marriage we are thinking of starting a family this year so we are replacing the miata with a family car. Bought our 2006 DS/W MCS last week and loving every minute of it! Besides, running a 2600lb car in G-Stock HAS to be faster than 4200lb Chevelle in ESP/STU!!!!!!
