A 1997 Supercharged Mazda Miata. Sort of a recumbent GoldWing without quite as much luggage space...

A DOHC4 '97 Prelude. Been in the family for 120,000 miles.

Currently, an '83 Alfa Spider, and an '03 Subaru WRX. No pic of the Subie handy, but here's the Alfa.

'61 VW bus, with a 413 Mopar "wedged" in,,,when you open it up does it suck all the air from inside the cabin so you cant breathe?

'02 4WD Tundra
'67 Mustang (in pieces)
'40 Ford pickup w/ flat head V8.
(And once you've worked on a 1940 Ford distributor you will wonder how we ever won the war with that technology!)

nice cooper,a rare little beast now.

yeh Dave - of the 7500 made they reckon that only 15000 are on the road.....hehe (there's a lot of "replicas" out there, and a lot of people who claim they have a "real" one. Mine is real.).

Nothing fancy.

2009 Nissan Versa: Relatively inexpensive, gets great mileage and good safety rating. Gets driven the most as my wife prefers it and it's the main kid carrier.

1996 Subaru Legacy GT: Extremely inexpensive, not the best fuel economy but it does have AWD so it's great on snow and ice, and has a killer AC. It basically gets used as a truck, hauling stuff and doing the dirty work.

Ha ha, it's funny how we all "typecast" people by what they drive mate, my brother bought it a few years ago on EBay for 26,000 bucks, it had been a tad over 440,000 new in 1989, is in mint condition, and has less than 30,000 Km's (17000 miles) on the odo. The original owner died and his son sold the house and had nowhere to store it, so he sold it, and my brother got a bargain.

My brother owns a motel in Whyalla ("where the outback meets the sea") in South Australia, and his grand idea (He's got Bi-Polar syndrome pretty bad) was to use it to pick up his corporate guests from the airport etc. He bought the new Triumph Rocket III (that I now own) at the same time, and shortly afterwards, his marriage collapsed, and so did his finances.

I bought the Triumph to help him keep his business afloat but couldn't afford the Rolls at the time, but once I unload another couple of CB750's I'll buy it too, and keep it in the family. The funny thing is, the insurance is cheaper for the Rolls than it is for my oldest boys SUV! Cheers, Terry.

Mine--1990 Chev Silverado 1500 4X4
Wife--2001 Mercury Grand Marquis

Neither one will every win any gas mileage awards, but good vehicles and both are paid for. Thats the best part no car payments

01 AstroAWD for now. My new transmission cooler, so I can drag three junk hondas back from texas in 114' heat.

More than 11 pages at the hard to find astro safari dot org site on transmission coolers, but it sort of works the same for everything if you're interested.

ive had this for 26 years,drive it everyday,its my only car,wife has a hyundai she bought new in 99,i wont post a picture of that though.

Dave this isn't a porn site, lol, seriously though my first car was a 73 HQ, which my father bought in 76, I drove it for a couple of years then gave it back, he still has it, though it isn't in the condition yours is in, that is the only car I ever regret getting rid of, and would give my left nut to have one again. I now drive a 92 Mitsubishi Pajero, I know they don't have the best rep for reliability, but I can't fault it, I bought it cheap with 220k on the clock with a burnt exhaust valve, I did 70k in it before I laid a spanner on the car, at 290k I pulled the motor and rebuilt it and finally fixed the exhaust valve and it now has over 340k on the clock and touch wood other than a grease and oil change every 5k I havn't touched it.

I have to admit, I wouldn't recomend the mitsi 4wds, even though I own one, I would recomend mine, but no others without knowing the history, I'm a mechanic by trade and have seen a lot of dunga mitsi's in my time, I took a punt with mine only because it was so cheap, and the fact that I know there isn't too much on the car I can't fix myself, even though I haven't had to do much to it.

2007 Chrysler Aspen with the HEMI of course. We have a 5' X 8' trailer we use to tow the bikes around with OR pick them up.

I drive a 2008 V6 Mustang convertible, the Mrs. drives a 2011 Edge (which she loves)

Bought the convertible before I got the F1 running, so I only drive the car on rainy days now. Bought a set of 2007 GT wheels so I can put snow tires on the stock rims for this winter!

For me it's a 97 chevy cavalier Z24. It was free to me so I can't complain, needs a little work, but hey it fires up everyday and gets me to work. Used to have a 99 S10 4X4, but I took care of that last winter when I wrecked it in a icy curve.

Also had an awesome 96 Mercury Cougar XR7. Wish to hell I hadn't sold that car. Also had an 86 VW Golf diesel, even though the engine was worn out it still got over 40 miles to the gallon.
