What else is in your garage?

[Jake Raby]

Had to pack some of mine into a different storage area before last week's snow storm. The two that are hard to make out are an '88 Carrera and a Mercedes 500E

Wow the chiropractors must love this thread, patting yourself on the back causes many alignment problems, good business for those bone adjusters.

If you don't understand the title of the thread why are you posting in it??

Oh I totally understand it, your comments shows exactly who is lacking clarity on what it is all about. Also, when I buy a nice car, I tell exactly no one, except my wife, about it. If someone sees me in it fine, if not, I don't have to tell anyone. Guess it is just the way I was raised.

I got your point the first time you made it. Of course I was raised to keep my negative opinions to myself! HA- just giving you a bad time in hopes you lighten up and enjoy the pictures.

By the way- how much is in your 401k?

No, no, I think it is you that is lacking clarity. For example, the title of this thread was "What else is in your garage". It wasn't "Please post your pompous, self-righteous opinion here". You should probably start a new thread in the lounge section for that. Keep in mind though, opinions are kinda like anuses - everyone's got one but no-one wants to hear yours.

Meanwhile, everyone else is having a bit of fun showing off their cool chit and admiring other members' cool chit. You're not required to take part if you'd rather not. I'd post a pic myself, but I really don't have much cool chit outside of the Boxster and a pretty nice tool collection. Wish I had that 328...

I kinda thought the same when first looking at this thread- but it grew on me as I saw some fun items from others with interests like mine.

And you can be sure you are NOT looking at everything these guys own. Just a fun active thread. I like it.

In the garage at the moment...
84 Alfa Spider 71K miles..original paint (red of course), with the head off (of course)waiting for head gasket to arrive.
00 Box S with the convertible top peeled off due to crack in window, waiting patiently for me to install its new top with glass back window.

Out of the garage at the moment
03 Box S Just bought from board member the end of January...Lapis Blue. Gorgeous! Will be back in garage once top is on the 00S.
04 350Z Roadster tourning (wife's car)
00 BMW 323Ci Son's car
05 Mustang (V6) my 17 year old son's car that he worked his butt off to buy when he turned 16. Props to him!

My other boys (not currently at home)
2013 Scion FR-S 6 speed for my 24 year old who works full time and will finish his engineering degree this spring. Car has a new tune, intake, headers, exhaust and coilovers. Surprisingly fun car that seems fairly bullet proof so far

2002 POS Taurus for 20 year old at school. He's not a car guy unless someone is willing to buy him one.

I guess the question was "What else do you drive" but I stretched it a bit because I don't drive, I pilot this one
However it IS in my garage so...

Imo, this is the one that started the "lets stuff it into the body of a sedan, upgrade everything, and don't forget the fender flares" hoopla of sports sedans.

Love that you have kept is original. Give me a call when you decide to get rid of it!

Uh, huh. Last I checked this is a car forum. I think the participation alone says it all my lonely friend. Please enjoy, as I am having a blast with the fellow enthusiast!

You are absolutely correct! Anything in your garage is fair game!

Does the rate go down the more cars you have, because in theory you can only be driving 1 car at a time, or are you paying full rate for each car, or do you take them off and on full insurance because you have one for each season?

With my insurance carrier, cars are rated on commute/mileage or leisure/mileage. I have my truck and my wifes Mini on commute, and the rest are leisure. And yes, the theory is you can only drive one at a time using with the law of averages for mileage.

The wife's 2013 VW Tiguan and my company provided 2011 Chevy Traverse go out on the street.

A photo of the 1850-1890 house would be pretty cool.

Very nice collection. Is the Rx7 a GTU?

How does the frs compare to a clean 03 or newer boxster S since we are talking similar money, they really need a comparison.

The "fleet" - my Speed Yellow 2001 Boxster S and Gold 2003 Pontiac Aztek aka "The Breaking Bad Mobile". The two are about as polar opposite as you can get!

My experience is that unless the car's insurance symbol indicates high risk the rate drops per vehicle the more you have, also depends on the number of drivers in household.

Not only does the rate go down the more you own but hopefully you can put some of them on classic car insurance like Haggerty which is really cheap. I've got two on classic car insurance, a '66 and a '91.

You can even make a case to put a fairly new car on classic insurance if you don't drive it much and have other daily drivers. I'm debating when to switch the Boxster over.

How many miles do they allow typically for a car that is not driven much? Stated value? I always thought stated value was higher in premiums.
