I'm boring when it comes to 4 wheels. I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT, which I suppose is technically now the kid's car. The other vehicle is the Family Urban Assault Vehicle:

Had it for a bit over a year now, and its the best 4-wheeled thing I ever owned, and my 3rd Land Rover, but unfortunately am having some recent problems with suspension:

LOL.. The standard OC transportation...J/K migz, giving you a hard time...I may be moving behind the Orange Curtain soon. Have to trade the Tahoe in on a Land Rover or Beemer or they wont let me in!migz123 said:Had it for a bit over a year now, and its the best 4-wheeled thing I ever owned, and my 3rd Land Rover, but unfortunately am having some recent problems with suspension:

Sorry to disappoint bevel, but another Detroit crap truck 2001 Ford F-150 Lariat Supercrew 4x4, stock other than a K&N air filter and Line-X bed liner. Get's a whooping 12 mpg typically, just as long as I'm not pulling my trailer. It's nice not to have to worry about having a vehicle that can't tow a trailer or haul a bike in the back for track days.
What I want to get once I convince the wife that all bikes and a new car fit in the garage with her POS Mazda is a Mini Cooper S. Drove one a few months back and absolutely need one now.

I have a yellow '92 Mazda Miata when it rains (which is almost never) and a '97 Dodge Dakota for a race vehicle - 'cuz you have to have something to haul your race bike and gear in !

It's a blast to drive. For me, choosing the Mazda is consistent with why I'm passionate about Ducati. It's not the fastest in a quarter mile, but it's awesome in the twisties. I think being in Car and Drivers top 10 for the last 3 years running against competitors like the Z, G35, and S2000. I've ridden in all but the S2000, and while the Nissans have a lot of torque, they feel nothing like how my car feels when I'm railing through twisties. In fact, I test drove and put money down on a 350Z but had to wait for the color I wanted to come in (pearl white). A quick drive to a Mazda dealer just to see how the 8 measured up against it immediately gave me a change of heart.brianmdavis said:
Lighter clutch, awesome gearbox, nicer interior, 18 inch wheels stock, handling like a go-kart yet less bumpy than the Z, good brakes, and more importantly, 2 more seats. You have to know how to drive it though, as you can't mash the pedal and just go like the Z.
You can see it peaking from behind my new track toy: (can you tell I like red?)
My other toy is a 1976 Holden (GMH) Torana. One of our old Aussie muscle cars. About 6 litres, thirsty, manual 4 speed, and loud everything

And a Nissan Narvara 4X4 - red of course.

That's not a regular exige in that picture.cheech said:
The exige is an excellent choice none-the-less. Just make sure you're comfortable backing up and making lane changes using only your side mirrors.
