Thread Starter 
I know a lot of you guys are kinda young so maybe the car-mortorcycle thing has not burned in yet.Most of my audio friends have really nice cars and bikes and I was starting to feel left out.So my early Christmas gift to myself was a 2002 BMW M3.I also have a 1965 Chevy Malibu SS that I've owned since I was 16.I ride a Buell X1 motorcycle as well and have an old Chevy suburban I use for business and to tow the Malibu and bikes around.What kinds of cars-bikes etc.are you guys rolling on?

I own a 1985 Dodge Caravan, but I drive my fathers 1998 V6 Dodge Dakota Sport. I plan on owning a 1998 Dodge Dakota R/T, 1970 Hemi Dodge Challenger, 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible, BMW R1100S bike, and maybe an old Dodge Ram as an offroad project vehicle over my lifetime...

Nothing fancy here, just a '89 Ford Thunderbird. Once I get a full-time job, I'm going to get something new, not sure what. Probably a Focus if I want to keep the cost low.

Toyota p/u. I miss my 86' CJ7. I sold it because the island I currently live on has very little open space. I plan to do a $10,000. no compomise chassis-up rebuild when I move back.

1995 Honda Del Sol VTEC, black of course with NIN sticker on back window, chrome wheels. These are very fun to drive, 4 cylinder VTEC will rev up like a sewing machine, all the way to 7,500 rpm before tach redline begins. Roof can be removed and placed in trunk for open air cruising, very cool at night.

Tuberoller
Has a dam nice carriage to cruise in!

My wife and I have three cars in our garage currently. I bought a 1996 Dodge Neon with the 150 hp DOHC engine five and a half years ago, and have raced it (autocrossing and a little drag racing) for the last two years. Puts out in the neighborhood of 175-180 hp now. It currently serves as my daily driver.

We bought a 1990 Volvo 240 station wagon a year ago from the original owner (only has 228,000 miles on it!) as a "sensible" car to haul stuff around and for trips, but mostly for the dog (Thor, our 100 lb Newfoundland). Thor pretty much claims it as his own, but he allows my wife to drive it to work.

We bought another Neon last fall, we had wanted a newer car and were able to get it for about what I paid for my '96 almost six years ago. It is a black 2001 ACR (the "competition" model) with the more powerful engine and adjustable suspension. It is only driven on weekends and for "fun" stuff. Only has 2000 miles on it.

95 toyota tercel
when i have the money to buy a new car i would like to put it into storage, maybe have it restored, and race it in 2035 in some oldtimer rally across the alps amidst all those vintage mercedes, ferarris, etc. i have no doubt that it would still run.

As is my custom, I find it hard to have only one, or a few, of anything. All of the following are registered in my name, but the kids and wife use them. Whichever is left, that's what I'll drive.
1978 Mercedes 300D
1980 Mercedes 300SD
1981 Mercedes 300SD
1987 BMW 735i
1987 Toyota Camry
1987 Ford/Starcraft conversion van
The following are only to be ridden by me: (I told my kids they have to be at least 50 years old to ride one of them.)
1966 Honda CL160 Scrambler (Silver).....needs TLC
1975 Honda CB400f SuperSport (Red)
1987 Honda Rebel 450 (Black)
1996 Suzuki LS650 Savage (Yellow)

I just got a Nissan Tsuru 2002 GS-2 Plus. I wanted a Nissan Maxima, the Audi Quatro or a classic VW, but mi wife insisted and we got the car in a very cool colour (Deep Green, looks kinda black or dark blue) with a bunch of accesories.

Of course, if a I was single, I would have gotten a 1969 VW with a German 5 speed box, 1800 cc motor and black leather interiors, or perhaps a 1969 Mustang.

Hey, I used to have those two. The BMW in Miami and the Mercedes in Atlanta. I loved those cars.

'89 Crown Vic -- 302
'00 Durango -- 318
'92 Accord -- 4 banger but 35 + MPG
'87 Glasstream 15V -- Mariner 115 w/Turbo2

Planning on either Triumph Tiger or Yamaha FZ1 late in '02 and a new Triton 200XP w/225 Merc early '03. May skip the bike for the boat though.

Haven't had a bike for about 15 years, and boats are year round here.
