My "other car" is.......
 

If you have one, what is your other car?

Mine is a Lexus SC400 and also a Buell XB9S cycle.

Firebird

I also have a 1988 IROC-Z Convertible, 5.0 TPI, 5 Speed.. 154K miles, purchased brand new in 1988 for $24K.

This for now, but I'm goinna get rid of it real soon and replace it with an S-Class. :)http://hobbystage.net/porsche/stryke...005-012511.jpg

The extreme opposite of my Boxster is my 2004 Yukon Denali. All function and no form. I do have 20" rims however. Ha

My other car is a Jet. :)

1995 Lexus LS400. 98k on the odometer and running as quiet as ever. Can't find one good reason to get rid of it even though it's ten years old.

I've got the best of both worlds.

My other car is.....

I don't have another car. No need for one.

A 2003 Grand Am and a 1977 924GT conversion.

"1995 Lexus LS400. 98k on the odometer and running as quiet as ever. Can't find one good reason to get rid of it even though it's ten years old.

No argument here.

More about that 924 GT Conversion please!

The conversion is still in the works, it's tough finding the right parts for a car that old/ rare. No intercooler yet {a guy sells one or two per year on eBay, it will work but it isn't the right one} and it still has the 4cyl with 4 bolt wheels {I won't get the engine until I'm sure I can have a complete car}. I have bits and pieces {the brake components, fiberglass body, seats, lights, the cheap stuff etc...} but the big items {engine etc...} are MIA. I have talked with Stephen Kaspar at Imagine Auto since he has done these conversions before and owns one. He claims it took two years before he found his I/C. He also says it will be a lot of work making any parts fit/ look right. As I am not a mechanic {don't ask why I started this project} I have a small team of pros in the city helping me, one each for the mechanical, electrical and body.

A brief history on the car. It was purchased in Germany and the second owner started converting this car in 1987, he then sold it in 1992 to a greek man working in Zurich as professor, then the car was imported to Canada. It still runs very well with 126,000Kms and it still has the orginal CGT body fitted in 1987. I like the lines and quality of the body on it now but it isn't the true shape of the car I'm looking for.

A Kia Sportage...nuf said...besides that it sucks!

Just curious..how in the world did you choose to buy a Kia?

Well...a family friend operates a Kia dealership, and my father always bought cars from him (from a GMC dealership he also owns). Since my dad's passing, I thought I'd keep the 'tradition' alive by continuing the trend. As my winter needs weren't that great, and he had a Sportage on the lot, I thought "Hey, how bad can it be? It's cheap but it looked ok." Clearly, one must put as much research into their winter car choices as their summer car. Put it down to sentimentality over-ruling common sense. I admit it freely...I'm a tool!

ad sach, why sonia? i think i might give mine a name, i will have to think...

Re: My "other car" is.......
 

BTW: thats is not a "other car". Mybe you should change the topic to my "other rides" :cool:

You may be right. The Buell rocks though!

I have an old Renault :-)

In India, Soniya means beautiful and well formed - other languages share that meaning for Sonia/Sophia. Certain actresses named Sonja, and Sophia share that allure. But mostly because that's what she told me her name was.

My real question (unresolved) was whether to spell it Sonia or Sonja.

a Subie!
 

Soon to have Brembo discs and Hawk pads all around ;) .

Bought this before the Boxster. Great car for New England, never fails to get me through the snow to snowshoeing and ski areas and to northcountry hiking trailheads in warmer weather. As compared to the Boxster, can travel at the same highway speeds with no yahoos or police paying any attention... it does take a bit more time to get up to those speeds though :rolleyes: !

One side of my family owns nothing but Subarus, something like 15 cars at this point. No problems with any of them of significance, and the dealer treats you like gold if there is. Compare that to our favorite sports car marque's dealer experience!

My wife is on her third Outback Wagon. She loves them, so do I. Nothing better in the snow and rain.

My Audi is great in the snow and rain :)

'04 Jetta 1.8T. Manual transmission and cold-weather package. Gotta love turbocharging :)

My other car is my wife's 05 C230K
 

Very nice car!

Subie Forester for me. Actually, it's not mine - it's the dogs' car!

My other car is..... A VW Passat..... how exciting! Busy saving up for a Cayenne though....

At least she has good taste; more than can be said for many women. :cool:

What year? My last car was a black/black 2003 Passat V6 5spd. I loved it to death until it met its demise. (Saved my life though)

My other car is a 2003 Mazda 6. V6, manual tranny. Very good car, one of the best handling front wheel drive cars I've driven. I'm considering getting the Mazdaspeed 6 when it comes out. Like F1CAR4ME said, "gotta love turbocharging". And all-wheel-drive.

I have driven the Mazda 6 many times. Nice nice car. Great value too!

..among a couple of other's: '68 Intl. Travelall.
 

I've had this for about 16yrs. It's like driving my Massey-Ferg tractor at 60mph but still; great truck. A couple of motors, trans rebuild, body work every three years and needs a headliner. I got some leather to sew up a new front seat, but the little I have to put in it is worth every penny. I'd drive it to Florida (800mi) without a thought.

It is a classic!

1988 Lotus Esprit Turbo

I'm sooo jealous. I've been a huge Esprit fan since Motor Trend arrived in '88 with one of the 88 special edition Esprits with the blue and white interior. It was kind of my first choice when I was shopping for a toy car, but reliability concerns and the fact that it's not a convertable drove me away. Once I have the Boxswter paid off, if I'm in the position to be able to afford another toy I think I will give it a very serious look as it won't be driven near as much as the boxster and I should be able to maintain it a bit more easily because of that.

Is yours one of the 88 with the blue-white interior and dash plaque? How about a picture!!!
