My cage is a 2003 Nissan Maxima SE. I'm the original owner and it is paid for. It gets about 20mpg and it doesn't really do anything particularly well other than daily commuting duties and haul me and my family and all our junk on vacations a couple times a year. It is reasonably quick but nothing compared to some of the true sports cars I've driven or motorcycles I've ridden. It is a family sedan, a fairly powerful family sedan, but a family sedan nonetheless.

The car:

I drive about 60 miles round trip to and from work but I also ride my motorcycle a couple days a week. The bike gets around 45mpg average with spirited riding and will do 0-60 in 4.0 seconds flat. It is much more fun to ride than the mundane cage...the cage is more comfortable though.

Commute is about 5 miles driving, or 25 mins by metro.

DD is a 91 Toyota Supra. Representative photo (not mine, but same color, year, and overall look), since I'm too lazy and its too dark to go outside:

However, my commuter car is this:

2000 Maxima GLE automatic, 215K+ miles. My commute is almost 45 miles each way, I get 26-28MPG. I wish I had a "fun" car but it's not in the budget any time soon.

These are the stairs I go down, and the room I pass on my way to my home office everyday the past 4+ years.

Also drive my wife 5 minutes to the station everyday. 9k miles after nearly 2 years. Let's just say weekends are very welcome.
