What cars are sitting in your garage?

Not that kind of Nova, the real ones, made by Chevrolet.

As far as I'm concerned, I have a 2001 Acura Integra Type-R, and a 1993 Honda Civic DX, which was built up for drag racing duties, up uptil yesterday. A broken forearm/wrist is the result of a 120mph failure in the drivetrain, still unidentified at this point, and, considering the extent of the damage, highly unlikely to be properly identified. That's racing, I guess. We'll bring it back 6 million dollar man style. :D
 
Now that I've read through some of the other people's garages, I feel very inadequate.

My parents only have one car, and we have a Red 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan ES AWD. My parents are thinking about getting another car though; and I have no clue what they are thinking about.
 
My dad has a brand spanking new Vauxhall Astra estate (new shape) when i can buy a car expect a Ford Focus 1.8td to be added to that (complete with rally decals:D)
 
We have, at my mum's house, a garage full of what can only be called "stuff". However, on the driveway and road, we have:

1990 998cc Mini (mine)
Early 90s Merc E-class (mum's)
Ford Probe (mum's boyfriend's)

And my dad has a 1993 Vauxhall Astra.
 
'97 Subaru Legacy GT-B wagon (dads)
'95 Nissan Primera (mums)
'92 Subaru Legacy GT sedan (mine)

Some people make me incredibly jealous...
 
My garage has a lawnmower in it...

On the property are:
'91 Toyota Corolla sedan (mom's)
'84 Toyota Supra GTS (mine, not running)
 
2004 Acura TSX 👍

1998 Volvo S70 T5 👍

Love them both.
 
As most of you know:

'04 Mercedes CLK55
'93 GMC Typhoon

I'm actually in need of a third car - the family car - but have no idea what I want. So that project is on hold indefinitely, as my family has lent me their 1996 Volvo 850 Turbo until I make a decision (and my decision may just be their 1996 Volvo 850 Turbo, which has performed admirably, even against a Porsche 911 :D).
 
Didn't you have a Toureg?
 
Does "family car" mean four-door sedan?

It's gone.

No, but it does mean four-door sedan, five-door wagon, five-door SUV, or minivan. We've got enough two-door cars for the time being. I'm considering getting a 9-2X as a drag project car, as well - unfortunately that presents a whole new set of problems, especially if I want it (as I do) to be a 10-second car; I'd need a truck and trailer and I barely have enough room for three vehicles let alone five.
 
Uh, out of curiousity.....what's with the avatar?

You could buy a Sedona just to embarrass little Joshua.

Yeah, PunkRock (Fred) crashed his car last night and hurt himself, so I figure, broken arm, dead, what's the difference?

I like what I'm seeing in the new Sedona, but I'll never get a minivan that isn't manufactured by Chrysler. I recommend Honda and Toyota all the time, but for me, it's got to be a Chrysler.
 
Fred's going to be so mad at me when he comes on here and finds that everyone thinks he's dead.
 
We had a Town & Country LXi. Biggest POS ever owned.
Man, that thing sucked. MAJOR reliability issues too.
 
Well I can chukle now since he isn't dead.

Broken arm.

So basically yeah when you compare it to being dead.

I thought it had something to do with his dead Civic.

I already knew he wasn't dead, he told us in the convo forum that he broke his arm...

Lord - I've never seen so many replies in a three minute span!

Broken arm indeed - he got lucky. Maybe I can hire him to help build my drag 9-2X, since he knows everything about cars (except when his axles are about to snap).

Dodge had Tiptronic a few years ago!
