When I antique, I used to use my 1999 Chev. Blazer. Now I find myself driving my ly/w mc more and more and buying smaller antiques! (My husband and his bad back Loves the MINI!)
My '03 MCS was my 2nd car/reliable transport/kid hauler. Now - it is totalled. :( My #1 project is a '74 mini Moke, and speaking of microcars... I just picked up a thrashed friskysport. Now riding in whatever is left in the driveway between Suburban, CJ 5 Jeep and diesel MBZ 240 or 300SD, after the man, teens and in laws. I think I will wait and get an '07 MCS.
Just got a Subaru B9 Tribeca. The Forester was too tight for long trips with the baby, wife, dog, and quiver of bicycles. Now with #2 on the way we pulled the trigger on a bigger ride.
My Mini is my "fun" garage car...my everyday ride is dubbed by me the uglymobile...a 2005 Red Honda Element. Heck if it were only a little bigger inside, the Mini could hide in it!
My second car is a '06 Lexus SC430. My husband drives an 2003 Honda Element. Gave up my pink smartie for my fortwo, which I still miss with all my heart!
The other most memorible rides have been my 2005 BMW M3, and my 2003 Honda S2000.
Other cars include:
1956 Speedster
1956 A Coupe
1998 C2S
1968 Shelby Mustang GT500
1969 Camaro Indy Pace Car
2003 Range Rover
On order: Q7 and S8 at that time the RR and Pooper will leave the fold.
Well - I'm a Three Mini girl now... just picked up a '62 Classic shell to go with my extra 998 motor.... and I kept the '03 MCS after all - She's in clinic having some type of reconstructive surgery right now... and the Moke is my daily ride for the past 6 weeks. I've talked to every bicyclist and pedestrian in my town by now... P.S. - nice Smart car !!
My other car is a 05 Sequioa, and a 97 Jeep Wrangler, and a 1972 Challenger...
I have not driven the Jeep since I got the Mini...
I sold a Dodge Magnum SRT8 to get the mini
An '06 Impreza Sport Wagon, hindsight I should have got the WRX Impreza Sport Wagon. Also considered a Diesel Jetta with DSG. If I fall *** backwards into some money I'll buy another Inno Mini, my first one would have cost more to ship back from Italy than I paid for it. Still miss it though.
'06 MC on order.
I currently drive an '02 Chevy Cavalier (POS, but it actually has never given me a hint of a problem, which amazes me).
Hubby drives an '03 GMC Yukon that he got last year.
Hubby also has a...I think it's an '88 Jeep Wrangler that sits in our garage because he's been unable to get it to pass smog this year to get it re-registered.
