In addition to my 1 week old 2007 S, I also have an 01 330i with 40k miles on it, and the wifey drives the lads around town in a 2003 Ody.

Hey Jim, I almost bought those same wheels (on the lotus) for my BMW. Are they old 3 piece BBS RA's or something? My shop techer used to be a race car driver in Germany and had them on his ferrari so they unfortunately didnt fit.

My other car is a '02 Hyundai Elantra. Great in the snow and very practical. Plus its paid for.

My other ride is an '04 Kawasaki ZX-10R, which is also paid for. I used to have 4 sportbikes in my garage, but now I'm down to one and a Porsche.

I recently bought my fiance an '07 Civic EX. That's a fun little car to drive. Its the coupe and handles amazingly well. Honda really knows how to build a good car.

Very very nice little car, great on gas and does handle very well indeed.

I use my 986 for the daily driver in the States and they just ordered me a 5 series Bimmer for in Germany ( I was trying for a used GT2). My other car is a '81 911SC with way too many upgrades and too little time to drive it, the wife drives one of those Caddy SUV things that suck gas but it keeps her happy and sits well in the driveway so I can have the garage

Not as cool a collection as most of yours but:

2007 Acura RDX for the wife
1998 Jeep Cherokee (140k and still going)

I am most proud of the Jeep, first new car I ever purchased, I will drive it until the wheels fall off...
