You still have the nicest garage, Chuck, even when its empty!!

As for me, I probably win in the "who pays the most car tax" contest given where I live, but other then the box, the wifey's JCW is probably the only car worth showing off. My 9-year old VW station wagon, well, no one wants to see that...

Not on this one, its too original. I would like to make my own 650E using a 124 chassis 300E as a base and build a 6.5L engine for it.

It's my housemate's car. Fun to drive (even though it's an auto, he wasn't too picky for a commuter).

Looks like the Germans dominate so far from BMW to VW to Audi.

My daily is a 2007 Mini Cooper S, engine swapped to a lo-compression JCW and fitted with big single turbo / methanol injection, running on KW coilovers. She's my little monster. Can hit 42 MPG no joke, a big advantage of turbo lag is that you can stay OUT of boost on the highway

In final stages of buying a 2007 Cayman with 3.7L turbo specific built motor and coilover suspension. Will probably run meth on that too.

My 2008 Boxster is actually my only car that's remotely stock and comfortable!

I'm enjoying the pics! Few of my bikes: (hope the pics aren't too big)



And a better view of the 1000 - the same vintage and colors of the 986 I'm shopping
