I love my Mini Cooper! Ditched the MomMobile and bought me a fun car!

Cute car, Mary.

I haven't taken photos of our cars, but I did find a few online. We have a 2005 Honda Element and a 2006 BMW 325i. They are exactly the same colors as those shown below.

My Element looks just like that ... only black. Good Taste!!

I absolutely LOVE my Element. So many people think it's ugly but I couldn't care less. They're not driving it, right? :eekB:

Here's our ride. A Ford Expedition.

A Ford Territory, so a small 4WD, SUV, whatever you call it. Sure you have them in the US but they might be called something different. And a Toyota Camry, again it might be called something different but basically just a generic 4 door 6 cylinder family sedan. We're all too tall in this family to have small cars (even the kids).

I used to have Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo but got rid of it. It was a lovely car but a pain in the bum. Heavy, clunky, and what a gas guzzler. And it cost a BOMB to service and repair too, its much cheaper to own a Japanese built car in Australia.

See, a Ford Expedition is a Ford Explorer in Australia. Why do they do that?

I remember being in Auckland and seeing Mitsubishis - the Sigma was a Magna here and the Magna was a Sigma here. Go figure.

OMG I love your MINICOOPER!!!!!!!!!!! That's what I want when I have an empty nest!!!!!!!!!!!! I want the red with the white bonnet stripes and the checker flag mirrors.

But right now I have 2005 Chevy Tahoe that is our family car because everything else is a TWO SEATER.

But our mainest new ride is our new SSR (SuperSportRoadster) in Redline Red. Went cruisin today with the top down. It has a corvette engine and can haul A$$. Looking forward to the empty nest so we can do some FUN RUNS.

In May the Texas Motor Speedway is doing a Laps For Charity event where you can pay 25 dollars and do three laps around the track. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't find any pics of our vehicles....I guess b/c they can't compete with the kids or animals. :eekB: I drive the 2004 Chevy Venture Van, silver. My DH drives the 2001 Chevy Impala, white. Nothing to get excited about I know....at this point, I'm just thankful for a power sliding door and money for gas.

I love all your sporty cars. I'm a little partial to Honda's (I've 3 myself over the years) b/c I have 2 brothers that have made their living working for Honda of America.

Myra ~ Texas Motor Speedway.....now your making me jealous!! I would LOVE to burn some rubber on that track.

2003 Silver Pontiac Grand Am, that I got for a graduation gift from my Dad. I want a new car...but with no job and no more gifts in the near future, I'll be keeping this for awhile :eekB:

HEE HEE HEE Come on down and I'll take ya riding.

Next spring when they have the opening race we are trying to get a group of SSR Fanatics to be the pace/opener cars. Everybody is already claiming which driver they want to carry. Should be fun. M

I am like a few others, nothing fancy, but have come to the conclusion we have waaaay too many vehicles for just DH and I!!! I drive a 2004 Dodge Intrepid, he drives a 2002 Ford Explorer, and we have a 2001 F250 Diesel P/U we use for hauling things, and such. Now add to that a 1998 Honda Goldwing 1500, 2 Classic 1981 Yamahas, a Midnight Maxima, and an 1100 Special, and his current "basketcase" he is working on is a 1998 HD Softail, with a Springer front end...no wonder we are poor, and the insurance company sends me Christmas cards!!!

Bittersweet timing here. Until Tuesday I drove a Volvo S-60, lust like this one:

It was likely totalled on Tuesday (still waiting to hear from ins co), so I have my eye on a Volvo XC-90:

Ooo...I really lke the look of that Volvo SUV.

I have a 99 Dodge Intrepid and a 1996 Chevy Cavalier and DH has a 1998 Dodge Dakota. I love love love my Intrepid. Not looking to get rid of it anytime soon!

I too LOVE my Intrepid!!! Before this one I had a 2001, and DH thought we should trade....we ended up "selling" it to our DD!!!! I have the R/T package on this one and am loving it!!!
