What's in your garage/your family's garage if yours is boring?

If you don't actually have a physical garage, get out. No, I'm kidding, pretend you have a garage.

Let's get jealous of each other. What do you drive? What does your family drive? Any cool toys on wheels? I never really intro'd myself, so I will do so fashionably late with this post. I'm Wes from Maryland. I drive a 2000 Dodge Durango, that my fiance and I share as a DD. No other vehicles right now.

My mom's DD is a '99 manuel Miata, because all of us here have ties to Miatas somehow. Her winter vehicle is a '99 Durango, because we love Dodges. She also has a 1965 Pontiac Bonneville convertible, which is amazing, and incredibly fun to drive. Needs some work, but it is in good enough condition to be tagged and driven right now. Her other car, which is currently not running, is a '99 Jaguar XJ8 Vanden Plas. They bought it a couple years ago for $800, around 120k miles on it. Issues with the timing on it keep it from running. She also had a '76 XJ6 but had to scrap it, as it was rotting away. It wouldn't run, and needed (naturally) a new wiring harness. Both are/were British Racing Green.

My stepdad drives a 2012 Ram 3500 Cummins Dually as his daily. His backup is a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500, which has nearly 200k on it now, and still starts up no problem. It's beat up, but he uses it for its natural purpose, hauling shit and pulling shit. His unrestored beauty is a 1971 Dodge Challenger convertible. This thing is whole, all the parts are there, but it needs a complete resto. Hopefully one day he can get it all fixed up. He also has a 1964 Rambler American, which is complete, but needs some work to get going. I'll post pics I have upon request.

Yes, we love Dodges in this family, and Miatas, because they are fun to drive.

Share yours.

Well, let's see. My brother has a '13 Subaru Legacy. Dad has a '10 Lexus HS250h. Mom is still driving the '97 Toyota RAV4 that she bought new in 1996. So nothing terribly interesting there.

Well theres my 94' NA M-edition.

My mom drives an 11' Ford Escape, which I like. Rubber can be laid from the front tires and V6.

My dad has a 06' Chevy Cobalt, and my hatred for it burns hotter than a blast from an Imperial Star cruiser

We also have a 08' Honda Civic Coup(automatic regretfully). But I like it

My marginally jalop family has two Minis, a Civic, a Neon, a Crosstrek XV, and a Voyager. Bonus points if you can guess which two are automatic.

I have a 2005 Magnum RT and a 1997 Benz SL600. Both autos, because, well, no other choice. The Magnum will get a TR6060 hopefully soon.

The extended family I dont really talk to has two slushbox civics that i know of.

We used to have an 89 Omni 5spd, which was fun, but my dad sold it before it hit 80k miles.
