Three cars and a motorcycle. The motorcycle and one of the cars are up for sale though.

Anyone in the NW Ohio area interested in a 1976 914 or a 1982 Honda Nighthawk 450, PM me. :p

I can't believe 2 people could agree on a sportscar... unless it's an SLR, Carrera GT or something that's nearly perfect... And then I wouldn't want to share... The first person that did any damage to the car would be in serious trouble.

well there are some cars that everyone loves... the miata, the M3, maybe the G35 coupe/350Z even? corvette?

they are not all that expensive... if the male and the female are both car buff's then it wouldn't be hard...

yeah i know, finding a female who likes cars is hard in the 1st place...

He said, "How many automobiles do you own?"

He didn't ask how many your parents owned or your ex-wife took from you, etc. How many do you own? :D

BTW, own two cars and two motorcycles (one is mine, one is my wife's)

My one buddy drives a truck and him and his wife have a sports car that they drive on weekends. She drives a SUV. I don't see why they need to have a sports car. They have 3 total car payments. There stretching themselves financially. With a $500,000 house, a child, 3 cars, etc... Typical Americans. :D


In other countries if you have at least one car your doing pretty good. In America your considered a poor ass if you only own one car.

:laugh:

You've obviously traveled to every country in the world.
In the Philippines they have license plate codes for which day of the week you can drive on.
Odd numbers can drive monday, wednesday, friday. Evens can drive tuesday, thursday, saturday.
Sundays are split mid day. I don't remember exactly which days go to which plates, but i know thats how they do it.

Filipinos own 3 or 4 cars.....or they own no cars (3rd world country with no middle class)

Just one. When I get into a house (saving up for the down payment) I might get a weekend car. You know, just something that's fun to drive that doesn't have to have all the A/C+heater+gas milage that's double digits. But right now I don't have a garage to put it in.

I own one car, a Honda Civic. It's great for commuting, but it's a little difficult to fit a sheet of plywood in it. There's a beat to hell Toyota pickup for sale on my road that I'd love to buy if I didn't have to insure it.

4 autos, soon to be 5 with 2 drivers

2003 Maxima which I am going to sell
1996 Maxima which is my new daily driver
1989 Toyota 4x4 (everybody needs a truck)
1992 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 5 speed (my mod vehicle)

Wife is driving home a new 2004 or 2005 Ford Escape this weekend which is a company car.

Just sold another 92 Ford Explorer which a guy bought from me off eBay. He flew to Topeka, KS from Montana and then drove it home without any problems whatsoever.
