Audi, great pictures...which is faster the 996 or M3?
Nick, sounds like a great collection. I'd love to see all those bikes. You must have a very understanding wife or she has one heck of a shoe collection.

Grant, absolutely love that Fiat. I'd own one right now if my head didn't shoot over the windshield.

Also, what's the deal with all the Range Rovers?

As for me, here's a front shot of the uber wagon, my 1995 525iT, which I thought was a good buy at the time, until the damn sunroof ground to a halt and now wants $2500 to fix.

1997 30th Ann Camaro Z28 6 speed convertible. Less than 1,000 made (out of a run of 440,000 (0.2%)) and about half of those are automatic trannies

johnny, the lexus looks like a great family car.
Grant, those are some great pictures. Some of them look an awful lot like my home away from home...Redstone Arsenal. The side graphics look great on the 996...they are the first I have ever seen.
Thanks for the compliment, I really wanted a touch of old 911, and that is the best I could come up with. You're right, not too many people have done this, I've never seen any others in real life.

Those old Fiats are just great. I put sway bars on it, Koni suspension, and 1 inch lowering springs. It really is a riot, even though it is incredibly slow. But when you get to the twisties, it doesn't even matter. I'm 6'1". I have to look ridiculous driving it.

When it comes to garages, bigger is always better. Not pictured, GF's 2006 Cayman S in Carrera GT Silver and XJ8.

JimB, you gotta slam that John Deere, throw on a SSK, and what's with those tires? You need to be rolling that bitch on 19's....

Take a closer look Rick. Those are 45s on back! Other features. A top speed of 25 with 8 forward gears. That's a seriously close ratio tranny! The tires might not look like much but she'll pop a wheelie in three grears. And there's no need for sway bars. If she starts to understeer you just tap the turning brakes. I think you might be a little Jealous that you're stuck driving a Porsche. Nothing runs like a Deere!

Rob, great cars. Obviously, I'm not the only one with a painful addiction to things british...If you don't park the Rover inside occasionally, it will get mad and pee on your driveway. I have the stains to prove it. My wife and I love log homes, I bet yours is gorgeous.
Nutbeam, there is something about the Rovers that is endearing, I'm just not sure what. Ours is the third that we have owned.
Shark, The Camaro and the Turbo are both great. The little person on top of the Turbo is adorable.
Arnee, what a great collection of german engineering. You have every vehicular need covered.
JimB, I'm speechless. WOW! Would you like to adopt me? Thanks for sharing your incredible collection. What a great garage. I want to come over and work on your cup car...your garage looks like a fun place to spend time in (not nearly as much fun as the track though).
