Currently I have a BMW 325 XiT -- perhaps one of the sexiest station wagons ever built. I also have a 2010 Triumph Tiger 1050 and a beautiful (Dura Ace speced) Ridley road bike.

Thinking of getting something similar myself.

Back in October I bought a new but leftover 2012 SuperCrew with the Ecoboost. Outstanding truck.

This is the first Ford I've bought in 30 years. I had been driving Hemi Rams but Ford gave me quite a bit better deal this go around. The first couple of weeks I wanted to take it back but now that it is getting broke in the mileage is getting alot better and the power seems to be decent. It's taken some getting used to but I think I'm going to like it.

I drive a 2007 red Pontiac Solstice. Not a bad looking little convertible and even has a 5 speed transmission.

I've also got a 2001 Harley Davidson Deuce that I ride occasionally.

Aw, Boxman! Don't say that about yourself!

I have a 1998 Infiniti QX4 parked at my mom's house, since I drive approximately never in NYC. I use it when not in the city. It's a great car, incredibly reliable, and still in perfect condition (save a few paint scritches) 15 years later. My family bought it outright and I got it when my mom got her new Durango, but she "steals" my car all the time! I think it's just easier/more pleasant to drive.

My dad was a car freak. When he died we sold his late model Jaguar XK Special Edition (don't recall which precisely), a 1988 Corvette and a 1968 Mustang Shelby in full working order. I was as jealous of the attention he showed those cars growing up as some of my friends were jealous of their siblings. He LOVED his cars.

One day about a year after I got my driving license my dad handed me the keys to his XK and told me he trusted me to drive it. I was so scared I went about .25 blocks to the cul-de-sac on our road, turned around, went straight home, and never touched one of his cars again.

Hey Bella interesting post and that was quite the collection of autos

bella · « **Reply #117 on:** March 30, 2013, 07:18:34 PM »

Yeah it was quite an array. Luckily we lived in the midwest where garages and driveways are ample! We had a 3 car garage and a driveway about 1/5 of a mile long.

The Jaguar was his "official" car and from a dealer, as was my eventual Infiniti and my mom's Dodges (she drove a Caravan before the Durango came out) but the Corvette and the Mustang were hobby jobs he took in and restored himself. He was so into working on his babies that my mom put a phone line into the garage in case she needed to tell him to come home and be with his non-steel family.

He worked in the American automotive insurance industry which is why I think I got the Infiniti. JD Power rated my vehicle the best of it's year in something or another and my dad really wanted it, but his 3 primary clients were Ford, GM and Chrysler. So best to pass that Japanese thang onto your errant daughter--worked for me

Cannot have you or your wife turn up to a function in a Japanese car!

Pretty much a Euro guy here. I have TWO 2-car garages and 4 rides. All German.

I love to detail my cars in between the "REAL" details they get from the pros, so I turned one of my garages into a detail space. (Video link at the bottom of the post.)

Had to post the first two shots since they show my sly head.
