I tend to go for practical vehicles:

practical kid/toy hauler=04 Golf TDI w/ 19psi boost
practical vespa=07 GT200 w/GTS super suspension
practical city motorcycle=09 Mana w/ Ohlins and mag wheels
practical track bike=04ish R1 w/ everything
practical track car=99 Neon ACR w/ JRZ

My daily driver is a 2009 Audi A3 Quattro. My others are a 1991 Mercedes Benz 300 SEL ( 56000 miles) and a 1977 International Harvester Scout ( 31000 miles).

My practical Chevrolet S10 and my not so practical Honda.

That is insane.

I have a 1973 maverick grabber with a 351W.

2 1983 Honda aero 50 Scooters

and a pitiful 2000 hyundai tiburon (for rainy days)

2006 LX150, slightly mod, Euro spec

Old school 1988 BMW M3, slightly mod, Euro spec

How's this for a sticker: 'My other Vespa is a Car'?

Nowhere near as baller as some of you but hey I will post it anyway...

I have this American made stand up scooter with Italian Morini engine on it.

Its pretty rare item, only few hundred were made.
Its a 50cc 2 stroke engine, it can be heard from a mile away, really loud.




And my daily driver, which also happens to be my first vehicle.
I have yet to see another one of my same exact truck.
Its a 2wd with Vortec 3500 I5 engine

this and an 03 mazda protege5

Mrs. wmak's 2010 Matrix. Cheapest car on the lot, already recalled and refitted, so as not to stick the accelerator. The way she drives, one would never know if it were sticking anyway.

bitchin!!

Here is a pic of our Datsun

That is awesome!

I see that there a lot of VW people on here. I knew I picked the right place! Here is my other toy. It is a bone stock 1967 Karmann Ghia...

my cars are mostly classic VW's

my 73 Single Cab almost finished

My 71 Tin top used most of the time.

my 82 Katana awesome fun but in a different kinda way to a vespa.

my 70 1500 Bug shared with my Dad.

My 98 Peugeot 306 Cabriolet the most modern i will go.

I really need to get rid of some of these one day.

2013 Fiat 500 Abarth on its way! Being built as I write.

While not totally unique, I've only seen one other in Annapolis... for now!

2007 Jeep Wrangler Sahara...the color got a lot of looks when it first came out back then, called Emergency Green...awesome for pulling trailers, etc. Does some 4 wheeling, but not as often as a couple years ago...see it in the background below...

Well, my four wheel vehicle is a 1992 Toyota Estima...

It's an eight seater (but I took the back row out, so now it's a five seater with room in the back for me Vespa I have carried two standard mopeds at the same time before now...

Oh, and I often run it on straight veg oil. Far more carbon neutral than even the biodiesel or electric vehicles mentioned earlier in the thread (that electricity is usually generated with fossil fuels...)

Welcome to the Mister Two club PinkyV2012.

OK....don't laugh!
Cheri is a good girl!

Mariah was pretty cool, too!

Cool thread, some great cars.

I have a 1959 Series II Austin Lancer. I've owned her since 1998, and in that time, I have seen just one other in the flesh. She is much loved, we call her "Nell" (after a very elderly former neighbour, who passed a couple of years ago).

3 owners since new. Have all the documentation, original tool kit. Even found some political brochures, RAC documentation, book on WA road rules, maps and newspapers all from 1960 and 1961 in the boot.

I don't have any photos handy, unfortunately, so this will have to do:
