What else do you drive? Weekends? Track

I know for some of you the Daily, Weekend, and Track all see your JCWs but most performance car guys I know have a nice variation of "other" cars they own. I'd love to hear from you guys what else you guys drive or have in the family. Post some pics!

2005 Maserati Coupe used it all season for heading to office and airport about 60 miles each way while the MINI was down. Used for weekend car events casual fun and cross state road trips. Have not tracked it yet. Stock springs are soft and not really what the car was designed for in my opinion. Great GT car and very reliable. The Larani Exhaust is off the charts for sound. If you can find something that sounds better I want to hear it. Also a Jette TDI the wife drive and Dodge truck for towing. Like to sell the Offshore boat and get a track car. Like the Lotus Exige a lot right now.

Nice ride man! Those Forgestars look great, never seen em on a Masi. Larini makes incredible exhausts. I remember when the Coupe came out I was so close to buying a yellow one. It put Masi back on the map.

Those are custom wheels from Formual dynamics out of LV. They had them made for Maserati's with the right offset etc. That set is really a one of a kind wheel. They had them made for a photo shoot and had them in several finishes. These are all machine finished and after they made them they found out the price was to cheap as it took way to much time in the lathe to make them. I bought the first set they already had the tires mounted up on them for the shoot. They really refreshed the look of the car from stock chrome 5 spokes. Old man wheels. Weather was nice yesterday I shold have taken her for a spin.

I believe my signature tells the story.

But to add clarity to what/how I drive here is the mileage for each:

'12 CMS < 100 but will increase quickly as a semi daily drive
'10 Cabrio < 5,700- occasionally gets caught in the rain
'09 Cabrio S < 5,300- never sees a cloudy day
'05 Legacy GT ~ 45,000- snow/ice, my after Dec. 15 vehicle
'04 Outback ~ 81,000- year round, now supplemented by CMS
'02 Expedition ~ 21,000- tow vehicle and Home Depot runs
'01 330i ~ 106,000- daily drive except when snow or ice
'66 MGB ~37,000- collecting dust

On the horizon- Roadster to supplement 330i

I bought mine new in 2000. I was saving up for when the next generation came out, but when I saw the price tag for 19000 dollars I said now way. I took the 7000 I saved up and bought my first MINI in 2008.

My signature speaks of the fun stuff, DD is a 2010 F150 Lariat black on black. The JCW and M3 go to the track. Currently daydream of an Evora S - but I think I am done for a while.

Nothing yet, but that's why the JCW is for sale

I'm hoping to end up with an '07 Exige S.
