haha thanks guys! It's definitely a garage full of the older generation cars. Have you seen Bruce Meyer's garage? (here) We got a tour of his collection a few months back. Now that is a garage I'd never leave.

The girl has an '05 Toyota RAV 4 called Renny that sits next to Rupert. My '92 Miata used to be in Rupert's spot. Its on the driveway now, for sale.

Nothing fancy, but they are fun cars. I always need to have at least two running cars so between the four I can usually manage:

1988 VW 16V DOHC Scirocco

1990 VW MK2 GTI w/ 20V 1.8T motor swap

Thanks, I bought it for $300 and it was all complete except for the motor, but I had another one that was in really bad shape that had a good motor so I swapped it in. It's all stock except for Bilstein struts with H&R springs, Corrado brakes w/ stainless lines, and Corrado BBS rims. I don't think I could let it go. It has been a lot of work and it's too much fun to drive.

2013 F150 FX4 EcoBoost on Icon Vehicle Dynamics suspension, some performance upgrades, tons of random small upgrades, totalling over $10k of parts. Love this thing.

2004 Mini Cooper S, 60k miles. Pretty much bone stock, only had it less than a week. Some mod plans brewing.

2010 Mazda 3 and no one cares to read further than that, wife's car. She's soon to get a new '15 EcoBoost Mustang by the end of the year.

I hope you live where it doesn't freeze or snow. That driveway could be treacherous!

Oh I forgot to mention, due to the quite large nature of the truck, and the quite redness? of its color, it has adopted the title Big Red B**** from most of my friend group.

The Mini's stablemates are a 2015 Fiat 500 Sport, 2011 Toyota Sienna and a 2012 Toyota Tundra CM.

Love the bus' too but I prefer the older ones without the bay window.

I like the GTI and the Scirocco too but I like the styling of the Jetta better.
