OT- Second vehicles?

Hi everyone, just kind of curious to see what other vehicles people are driving when not in thier Pcars? Here's a pic of my 84 Dodge 1/2 ton,

Beautiful isn't it? Got it off my brother-in law for $300 Canadian. Needed a little work though. Guess this throws the whole RICH guys drive Porsches out the window.
BTW the white stuff in the background is called snow for you guys down south.

Hope the pic turned out otherwise someone will have to give me a lesson.

Nice tow vehicle.

Don't think Audi is marketing this model in the US, but it's an A3. Turbodiesel, gives 46 (yes!) miles to a gallon. I commute 80 miles per day, so..

2nd Car? 1995 Acura Integra GS-R. I bought it new for less than my 14 year old Porsche cost... go figure. The rice car is up for sale, soon to be replaced by an Audi A4. I need something with AWD.

No pic's but mine is a 94 530i with 148k and still going strong. Had a 99 Audi A6 quattro, but the spousal unit totaled it with 8k miles

Wish I had a pic cause this car has more dents than 99% of the cars in the Bay Area...86 maroon Toyota Pickup 2wd shortbed w/camper shell...170,000 miles and no signs of faltering...

Well my 86 Ford F150 is my daily driver as I need it for work.. my second car is an 81 Corvette (AKA Tupperware) the porsche club named it..lol it helps keep the miles off the 81 911SC.

The 1986 Jaguar Vanden Plas is the exact opposite of the 911, when it comes to engineering and performance. But I guess I'm a sucker for black chrome over curves. (Click for a larger version.)

At the moment at 1987 VW Golf CL 1.6 beater. Can't wait to get rid of it:



When I graduate I am gonna get a nice VW TDi - performance and economy. At the moment I am looking at a Seat Leon TDi Sport (150hp and 50mpg) or even a Skoda!

'72 911E Sporto

88 Nissan Stanza. 205k miles. Did a recent compression check. All four cylinders read 114 lbs. Give or take a half pound. Go figure? Reliable as hell. But the fiercest under steer on a vehicle that I've ever driven. It'll turn any driver into the little old lady from Pasedena. Hey Jack, just out of curiosity. Have you had to redo the tranny or head gasket on the Jag? I gave up on an 83 after 4 trannies and 2 head gaskets. If you need a good mechanic, Richard Boyd in Burbank knows those cars better than anyone.

heh heh, i had a 1989 Sentra. that car had "understeer of the Gods" as we used to call it. the nice thing is that the understeer was totally predictable. if a fly sneezed on the road it would hydroplane. i'd drive to work in the rain and the car would probably float the front end up 5 or 6 times each way. lots of fun when you learn to control it.

i'd put 2 of those "road shredder" Hakkepelita tires with the 1/4" steel studs on the front wheels, and 2 knobby Hakkepelitas on the back... and a drive in the snow would be a blast. i'd pass Broncos and Blazers that had all 4 wheels spinning (and sliding backwards).

unfortunately, Nissan's are made of the cheapest, low-grade steel on the planet. they all fall apart after a few years in any state north of Virginia.

Mine's the 2nd cube down from the top left:



Just kidding. That's probably what it looks like, though.

Woohoo, I finally got rid of the Kawasaki. No more back pain.

The scary thing is that this bike has more advanced fuel injection than my SC.
