Ok, i love to show off my toy.

Isuzu Vehicross 4 x 4. Production number 157 of 174 (ltd model)
Only 10000 were made by isuzu as a concept car. The vx won the Paris to Dakar for its class in 1998 and won the Australia Rally for its class in 1999.

Spent 8 years restoring this. 350 Horse power, run's high 12's. Normally just take it the car shows and drive it once in while. Not a El Camino! 1984 GMC Caballero

I bought this for $150 came in about 9 boxes, I spent as little as $50 in parts and had me a bike. It's a 1972 Honda CB750. I've changed the seat since this picture. Had it for about 4 years now. Runs good and a nice thing to drive to work in the summer. Its really bad on gas tho, mainly because I run it hard.

Then my every day machine, GO yuppy me. 02 Blazard 2d, 4x4. Only pic I could find. Took this during my trip to TENN.

'95 Eclipse GSX
'05 Honda S2000
'06 Nissan 350Z

I'll keep the S2000 for the sunny days, and maybe add an IS300/IS250/Corolla/Prius as a daily car. Right now the daily duties are split between the S2000 and 350Z.

I have a 1999 Dodge RAM that doesn't run, so I drive the girlfriend's 2002 Honda Accord.

After the payments are done, I don't think I'm ever getting a car that I have to make payments on again. Unless it's like...$100 a month.

07 honda fit
06 Grand caravan - yeah haul kids around

had a '99 911 I picked up in '02. Loved that car but didn't get to drive it much. Traded it in for the mini van. Actually I couldn't do it, made my wife go do it. To punish me the van is almost the exact same color. It makes me sad every day.

I'm driving a '98 Crown Vic luxury model that my Grandfather sold me dirt cheap right before he died. Damn comfortable car aside from leg position making my knees hurt a bit. Soon as I get some of my recent "toys" expenses wrapped up, I'm upgrading to a Dodge Charger SRT-8. http://l00py.net/phpbb/images/smiles/sly.gif *vroom* *vroom*

I drive a scooter to work, cost me like $1800 brand new... gets about 75-80mpg, cost me <5$ a week in gas. Cheaper than riding the bus!
I've had it 2 years and put on a bit over 5K miles, so... cost me so far maybe 300$ in gas and ~25$ in 2-stroke oil. Odds and ends on maintenance... insurance, license, taxes.. all told *might* push it to 3 grand total transportation cost over 2 years... so yeah I'm pretty happy with the savings. Also you can always find some spot to squeeze it in for parking, or find some free motorcycle parking nearby... in downtown Seattle this is a very good bonus. :)
Not the most stylish or speedy of rides -- it's all city streets from home to work tho, so 30-35mph speed limits.

Sometimes the VW lags behind and breaks follow when I'm in a big city. All RAF accounts and using keyclone.

This is the multiboxer version of a car. Buttons on every surface, iDrive for multitasking while driving, love it. I am looking forward to the days when the car can drive itself and i can play while it gets me from A to B.

>the new m3 looks delicious

Ugh http://www.clipartof.com/images/thumbnail/2181.gif

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I really think BMW have lost the plot over the past few years.

My daily drive has been an M3 since my first taste of one in 1998, and I've had four since then.

I'm at about the time when I'd want to replace my current E46 (coming up on 50k miles - no biggie, but about when I normally trade up), but I can stand the new M3. If they could drop that lovely new engine into an E46 body then we might have a deal!

Guess I'll be dropping by the Audi dealer for an RS4 when I move back to the UK.

Having said that, the next car I buy will almost certainly be a Smart fortwo (the M3's in storage)!!! I'm living away from home and having been here now for a little over two years and relying on (excellent, punctual, reliable) public transport and taxis I feel the need to be independently mobile again, and that's the most sensible choice for parking in the city :)

edit:

I'm 6'7" tall (~2.0m). Thought that might add to the comedy effect for the visual of me getting in/out of a Smart, which is only slightly longer than a rollerskate:

That's not to say I wouldn't rather have my M3 here though, parking permitting.

Or Dozer's lovely black Porker.
