And my R6 was way nicer to me on the track than my current R1 is.

If its a workday and I know parking will be cramped or crappy at work then I plan to drive the mini. it'll be my daily driver and was ordered becaue it is :
1 - more fuel efficient than my other cars
2 - plenty comfy for everday driving
3 - small enough to easily park anywhere
4 - less expensive to fix so if I get a ding its no big deal
I will likely sell my Touareg when the Mini comes in. I used to need the space in the Touareg for selling/delivering computers but have shut that business down now.
If the economy/stock market were to make a phenomenal jump by Dec then maybe I'd keep all the cars but thats highly unlikely.

The MINI is great...fun, efficient, easy to park, etc. BUT its not even close to the Carrera S. However,that SAID..MAYBE IF I DROVE THE CARRERA EVERY DAY ITS PERFOMANCE WOULD NOT BE SO SHOCKING TO ME WHEN I DO DRIVE IT.

I don't have a garage... for that matter I don't have my car yet and I don't know exactly where I'm going to live when I get back to the States, but I do have pictures of my daily driver 
Obviously in two of the pictures I'm taking pictures of my wingman, not ME flying... More importantly my JCW is waiting to get on a boat!!! I'm ready to drive again!!
You guys have some awesome rides

I do both, both crew stations are essentially replicated except for some controls in the front seat for the 'reach out and touch you' camera. I'm more excited about being a DRIVER!!
I think I'm going to get my IP address banned from the Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics tracking website because I check to see if my car has made it on a boat about 10 times a day

Cool. A Sahara edition that's not afraid to get dirty.
At 200,000 miles I've retired my Jeep from off-road duty.
So, the only adventures this Jeep has now are on the track.
I'm hoping that the Scuderia Ferrari decals mod will
help me shave some time at the track this year.
Yes, I actually took the Jeep on the track.
With tires squealing through every turn,
I was just lucky not to roll it.

Mine is dirty, dented, scratched, and full of dog hair; the way a JEEP was born to be. Just turned one year old on Tuesday and has over 30,000 miles.
Now I hadn't considered JEEP track day... ...you might be on to something there...
