What other cool cars do you own? OT!
I've been noticing a real trend since joining this BB that people's taglines mention not only their 944 model and year but other interesting cars as well. So for the people who don't mention their other cool cars in their tag or those who just want to get more verbose about their other toys, I ask: What other cool cars do you own?
I just parted with a 73 VW beetle that I had fully restored in high school, frame off restoration, I did all of the welding, bodywork, paint, engine overhaul, etc by myself. A great way to get into the car hobby. Currently I own a 1989 944NA standard in gaurds red, 64k. Absolutely love it. In the garage I also have a 1938 Buick Special model 41 touring sedan that I've been restoring for about 2 years. That car is a badass :-P What do you guys have?

Other car is a '96 Audi A6 quattro. Nothing special, but a great car in the winter, and a very nice daily driver.

1983 Toyota Tercel hatchback (Not in my driveway because L.A County does not want it there)
I used to have a 1998 Honda Civic hatchback. Now it's my brothers, but I still drive it because he is in the Navy so he's not home. |

Weighs an absolute ton - the chassis is stronger than many small trucks and was never meant for racing but I made her do it anyway. Get a lot of strange looks from policemen - especially when I stick my shotgun in the passenger seat and head off to NRA Bisley. The dirtier she gets the better she looks. Stupid money to insure fully comp. £160 for a year!
