Sweet car, reminds me of the red 55 Meteor Crown I wish I still had.

Thanks, I have seen a Meteor at local shows occasionally. They are eye catchers. We're hoping for about five stuburn bidders competing to be the new owner of Vicky in August. Jag

Our other cars do not have the allure of some of the other cars you guys own and i'm ok with that because we can fly under the radar.

Mine: 2005 Subaru Legacy GT wagon.

I wanted something quick that handles well and could haul the family.
.

The number 2 and 4 piston rings cracked at 32k miles. Needless to say it was rebuilt with better internals, Wiseco pistons and eagle rods. While it was apart we put a stage 2 clutch in it, hi flow downpipe behind the turbo, larger intercooler, catless uppipe, group N STI racing motor and transmission mounts, Bilstein struts with subaru pink springs to drop it about an inch all the way around, and then completely remapped the engine to take advantage of all the improvements . Unfortunately, one on the seals in the turbo is letting go (80k) and I am eating through oil now. Just means that funds that would go towards the truck will be put towards the wagon in the form of a new, bigger turbo.

Wifes: 2009 Mini clubman S - no pictures of it with the new wheels yet. She won't let me mess with it, says we need to have at least one reliable car . It is a blast to drive around town.

Most weeks I put more miles on these then I do my car (the three on top are mine, the lower two are the wife's, ignore the wheel in upper right of photo, a friends bike we are storing.)

There's no part of my garage that has an empty wall/floor area like that to store mine... lol. I bought a shed to stand them up in. (C-hook to hang the front wheel off of)

Shed's full too.

Wife parks her car on that side of the garage so we try to keep it clean, though I am slowly moving non truck stuff over there and out of my way. The truck and all tools are packed on the other side, including hanging from the ceiling.

ooooh... so you use your garage for driveable vehicles?... Yeah, I don't get that.

I've got about every inch of my garage covered with shelves, hooks, etc to keep as much off the floor as possible. Hard to keep up with a 2 car garage and 4 old project cars...

At least you don't have a two car garage, a tiny driveway, and an HOA that bans overnight parking on the street. If we have guests stay the night I have to borrow a space on my neighbor's driveway.

Oh and I like that Legacy wagon. There's nothing like a wagon to haul dogs around. I have two pits that love the back of my 71 Squareback.

I still deal with HOA for my condo in Oxnard.. similar deal, 2 car garage, no driveway, and you have to compete for parking in the street. Back then, still had both my primary projects... Camaro and 57 Chevy, taking up the two garage stalls.
