The Lamborghini Diablo is tuned to around 550hp TO THE WHEELS, thanks to the Capristo exhaust installed on it. People can hear you from a mile away...
The Silver Bentley Arnage is the "on the town" vehicle...

I actually have little need or interest in driving anything besides a MINI...so the other cars belong to the kids. I did take a different approach, though, when I made the leap into slot cars. Now I own 7 MINIs, two classics, several D-type Jags, assorted Maseratis, Mercedes, Tigers, Cobras, a 356 and a whole bunch of other stuff. I repair them myself, there's no extra insurance, and no storage issues......plus I can drive the little suckers all day long if I want!!! Good stuff.

A bit younger (23), just starting out my career after university. Its great to see that even people with money for a full garage are buying these cars. If I won the lottery today I'd still be waiting until late november for my mini to be done (dark silver/redwood/every option but navigation.) thanks for the encouragement!

The other MINI, a couple of (pedal) bikes with flat tires, which never get ridden anymore, and a bunch of crap which fits in the space the MINIs don't need.

My Jeep Cherokee is about to be retired. Im replacing it within the month with a new MCS. In the garage I have an 06 Corvette that is slightly massaged. Right now Im more excited about driving the Mini.

I like it. Great power (305 hp when new, more now that it's modded), useful interior layout. I think it's kind of ugly, but it's tough-looking. With the current stance and wheels (which are 19x9.5 Rays G-Games 99B with 275/30R19), it gets a lot of attention. Every time I go get gas people approach me to talk about the car.
