MCS and S70
I just took delivery of my AB/W MCS a few weeks ago and I'm completely smitten. My wife now drives my black 2000 Volvo S70. It's the non-turbo so it's less exciting than the GLT or the T5 for that matter but it's the most reliable car I've ever owned. With 122K on the odometer, the only thing besides basic maintenance was the blasted Electronic Throttle Module needing replacement @ 80K. Volvo = Urban Tank

I see a few other Mustangers on here, I'll add my garage queen to the mix.
'99 Mustang GT. Vortech Supercharged pushing the limits with 460 rear wheel HP. Weekend warrior at best, doesn't get out much these days. I hope to get it to the track more this year for some adrenaline release.
More here if you're just dieing to see more photos

Second car is a slightly mod-ed '02 Chevy Cavalier LS Sport Sedan, but We're looking into trading it up for my wife to have a true 'soccer mom' mobile, the '06 Kia Sedona EX.

My other car probably will end up being an e30 or the new ///M coupe. I'll most likely end up going w/ the ///M coupe and just turn the MINI into a complete project car.
