Default whats your second car?

i recently downgraded from a 98 camry V6 to a 07 corrolla. many of us are family men. lets show our family man's side. whats your second car? In my defense i bought an 93 vette due to no passenger side air bag. Teasin is allowed and cannot be taken personal.

It depends on what I'm going to do...

Towing choice is my 02 Ram 5.9L Quadcab
Communting to work daily is 98 Dakota 5-sp 4cyl
Having fun is the Vette
Going on long trips is the wifeys 03 Altima 3.5SE

Cruising = Vstar (motorcycle)


Its nice to see I'm not the only person with alot of choices....

A Toyota Avalon and a Toyota Camry. I bought the Vette for reliability, and I have the Toyotas for their sexiness!!

my other one is a 97 vw jetta.

i got it because it was cheap, and i don't like the lose-lose proposition of spending (too much) money on cars. never buy them new.

The wife's old 96 Accord 4 banger with 180k. The vette was my daily driver for several years up until then. I have a very short (1.5mi) commute and it is nice to not have to put the vette through all those short drives.
