Aircraft Recover Project ( I have a 30' long garage)
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?

Thank you. No it is a turbo, I purchased it new in fall of '89 ('90 model car). Has about 12,000 km. I love rotary engines. This was our first sports car.

That is one clean Rx7! Have you had to overhaul the engine/turbo because of age and not mileage?

No, nothing other than routine maintenance so far.

Hey AP328, the picture of your RX-7 brought back good memories. I had a 1987 'Sport model' (precursor to the GTU) from 1990 until I sold it in 2008 to buy the Boxster. I loved the high reving rotary engine. I had updated the suspension, full exhaust and many other mods, but I was ready for a change after 18 years.
Now, in addition to the Boxster, I have 2 Acura daily drivers (MDX for the wife and a TSX 6 speed for me), and almost 20 feet of old Dodge for the classic car shows.
