I am envious of you guys that can have all the fun cars in the garage. Wow! I hope you guys are much older than I am, and have earned it along the way (congrats), otherwise I'm in the wrong business.
I'm 30 years old (the age thread), with:
1) '76 911S, SC wannabe, 3.0 transplanted but sick at the moment.
2)'91 Honda Prelude Si, with a bad CV joint and rear bearing seal and an owner with no time to fix it (good excuse to purchase the next car)
3)'01 Jeep Cherokee ('cuse I got stuck once too many times in the Prelude)
The Jeep is my daily driver until I fix the Honda, and rice it out (smile). OR I get the 911 sorted out.
It's 86 degrees F here in the Chicagoland area and the Porsche is in the garage, why me!!

My other spoilt mistress?
A red blooded British, wind in ya hair, seat of ya pants, oil in ya nostrils, suckin' twin SU's, live rear axle'd Triumph TR4.
Her name is "Fergi" - she has her top off mostly but I can't figure how to get her to suck on my toes! (instead of my wallet) <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />

I have:
89 Carrera Targa Semi garage queen, sunny weeekends in the spring and summer.
98 Mercedes ML 320 whenever I can rip the keys from wife's hands.
95 Honda Accord for my daily work. The car is so dang reliable. I Had a 94 with 109,000 miles on it and it never broke down just normal maint. until my 18 yr. tore it up, so I have a 95 that's the exact same car but with 30,000 less miles. Great daily driver.

My daily driver is a 99' Volvo S-80 T6. I wanted a BMW 540. My wife wanted me to get the Volvo, she won. I can't get used to that crappy front wheel drive!
The family vehicle 2000 GMC Yukon XL.
The weekend warrior? 85 911 Targa. Waiting to try my first AX & hopefully a DE.
Soon enough the Volvo will go..... <img src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" border="0" alt="[bigbye]" />

While my 84 Carrera is officially the main car, it isn't exactly appropriate for my daily spot at the train station. I use the Jeep as the ultimate foul-weather accessory for the Porsche.
Also in the driveway:
89 Jeep Wrangler (train station and dirt duty)
02 Jaguar X-type (mobile phone booth for my wife)

My daily driver is an '85 mercedes turbo diesel wagon(reminds me how to drive slow). My wife's is a '94 E320.Brillo

Besides my 86 Carrera turbo-look, I have a 94 Cavalier RS Conv, and she has the family truckster- a 98 Dodve Ram van. Would rather have a Cherokee for the commuter/grocery getter, but the kids all love the convertible, even if it is a Cavalier, and we have no room for any more vehicles. (Till I get a REAL house with a larger garage, and enough land out back for a pole barn to house more toys and tools!)

Nordschleife Master
My daily driver and bike/kayak/Home Depot hauler is a 96 A4 (finally putting Nuespeed suspension on it). As I work from home, I end up driving my 930 most of the time the roads are dry. My wife's car is a 2001 Toyota Celica GTS...What great turn in, it is a fun little car, but definatley a "girl's car.
