Sabu a '02 Subaru Outback w/93+K was our only car while I had a Co. Truck, then we got Sarah an '07 MCS R56 new. Since I've retired, my wife drives the Mini to work, but when we go any where together I Motor!
We both agree that we haven't had this much fun driving a car since, well never since we're talking about driving.

Our other car is an '09 Mazdaspeed 3

This isn't exactly a car, but it is my other ride. An aerobatic plane that I built with my wife.

I no longer have a second car. Its called the shoelace express and it is a free ride. Oh and I didn't sell the 93 Sentra. It blew a head gasket and I didn't have the time to replace it so I donated it to The Hawaiian Kidney Foundation. That damn car I hope it catches fir and kills itself cause that was a money pit that I should have never got involved in.

Second car

I've got an '04 VW Beetle (Turbo, GLS, Drop top) that's awfully lonely because it's not being driven. I did drive it to the grocery store last week when I had all of the chrome off the front of "KOOPER" to be blacked out.

Anyone interested in buying a low mileage, well cared for 04 VW?

Second Car (if you call it that)

The MCS is my daily driver, what a blast!

My second vehicle is a basic truck, 93' Ford F150, 6cyl, 5-speed manual, 200k+ miles. The only convenience is an air conditioner that will freeze you out. My daughter sat in the truck and asked me how to open the window, she didn't understand the crank!

The truck is for work and hauling, it doesn't get out much (8-10 mpg). Previous owners piled up the mileage.

The Cooper is my lovely wifes daily driver. Her back up ride is a Volvo V70. My daily is a Volvo S80. The heavy hauler, Ford F250. Nobody loves trucks in this family, cars are always the first choice for transportation. The ride of choice is determined by fun-factor and payload. The Cooper is the normal winner.

The PW/B 2009 Clubbie is my daily driver... our second car is my husband's 2009 Mazda3 5-Door in Graphite.

It's kinda nice knowing that his car is the "fetch from the airport" car now... my old Jetta used to be.

ohhhh....I love 928's. Was looking into getting one a couple years ago. Read an article that said if you do get one to restore, you may as well put your wallet on the table and beat it with a big club
