I've got a 97 Wrangler Sport - blue, bought new. It now has 55,000 miles on it.
The GF has a black 86 wagoneer for extended camping trips and hauling stuff from home depot.
And my favorite car (sorta) is my 75 280Z which I'm slowly refreshing as time and money allow - in that order. Hopefully it'll be a good runner by next spring/early summer.
Only pics I have on the web right now are of the 280.
The Nissan Skyline takes home the best car trophy from this thread.. That is a beautiful car.. I wish they were imported to North America so I could drool on one.. The Mini takes second prize.. Everyone else, thanks for coming out.
My first and current pile--oops, I mean car--is a 1984 Buick Le Sabre Custom V8 4-door sedan. It was a cheap investment for my first 6 months driving on my own, after which I'll more than likely be investing in a nice little Ford Focus!! (I'm thinking all I really need is 3 door, but 5 doors would be nice. I want the hatchback, and whatever it is, it has to be the premium. Leather seats, side impact airbags, ABS, moonroof, and any other extras I can get my hands on, I'm sure I won't be able to resist. The nice part is that it comes standard with an in-dash 6 cd changer, I just wonder if it reads CD-RWs, semi-doubtful, or better yet mp3s, very doubtful.. but yeah, I digress. )
Pic? Forthcoming.
Winner of the thread? I'd have to say all of the lucky VW owners.. that Skyline thing is nice, but not anything special. Then again, I'm only judging aesthetics/gadgetry/relative exposure/brand appeal, here.

Man oh man, Golfs are the ultimate win. I love those cars. It's funny, I get more legroom driving a Golf than I do in my Vanagon
I trust you got the Monsoon 6-speaker surround
And then look at this one:

Isn't it great the way every picture of late-model Volkswagens looks like an advertisement? I dig it.
