For the bikes, do you have to carry that block of wood everywhere you go so you can park it? I'll never figure you guys out.

Thanks! I didn't like the AWD, too much understeer! I have coil-overs and I did a RWD conversion on it. I took the front differential, 2 half shaft and shaft out then you replace the stub axles and it's RWD. I love it like that.

Very nice! Understeer was definetly an issue with that much power. Are you going to upgrade the rims? Since you already have coils, new wheels would really upgrade the stance...

Nothing special in comparison to a great portion of the people here, but I've got a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (getting ready to sell him, too).



My dad also has a neon green 1975 Chevy Camaro that he used to race.

I don't have a driveway though, I have a little piece of road that I like to call a 'driveway' (see picture). The MINI is where the Jeep used to be.
I don't want to get rid of my Jeep... he means so much to me, but I can't afford him!

Right now, unfortunatly, not the Clubbie. The classic gets one half (although I could get away with a third .) On the other side is my father in law's car which we are keeping while he through-hikes the Appalachean Trail (I guess a 63 year old hiking for 6 months and 3k+ mile warrent's a spot in the garage for his car.) Of course what makes it even more unbearable is that it is an old Neon (flaking white paint and all.) The Clubman and the 07 Odyseey are sleeping outside

Just turned in my 2008 BMW 335i Coupe last Friday so the garage is a little light right now waiting for my 2009 Cooper. Just the wife's 2009 Jaguar XF and my 2005 Yamaha R6.

The MINI. It is just more engaging to drive and has way more personality. Probably the funnest car I have ever owned.

just makes it easier to take a pic when it's standing up straight... But it would be a great Idea to keep it handy when riding to toss at the next person that trys to run over me
