    Honda Civic EX coupe, preceded by three other Hondas (Accords & Civic) since 1978!

    (If I had cared solely about efficiency, I would have bought an Acura NSX instead of the Ferrari. But the Acura lacked the sense of history and passion that any Ferrari possesses.)

    I have never seen this parking arrangement before, and I commend you for your bravery. I bet getting that middle car in and out can be unnerving.

    Lol it is hard, I don't do it with the f430(bigger than lambo) it is just like parallel parking. The garage is very wide for two cars.
    I'm thinking about buying a lift but I'm not 100% sure if is going to be practical.

    Lift is practical if you don't drive that car every day. It isn't a big deal. Just move the car out out of the garage. Lower the lift, pull the car out, raise the lift, and put the original car back under it or even on it.

    my 360 lives under my other car on the lift. The 360 or my S2000 are always on the ground floor ready for driving, the car on top of the lift is in restoration mode. But I prefer parking the S to the side and the 360 under the lift. It works great.

    Toyota Tacoma Regular Cab-Base 2wd. Your generic contractor vehicle, except I’m not a contractor. Shockingly good handling and roll resistance. Manual trans has direct, non-rubbery feel and clutch action is more satisfying than modern German cars. Got 24 MPG mixed use, but has since dropped for reasons I have to investigate. Marginal brakes--rears are drum. With hard bed cap, it’s nice having virtually unlimited trunk space. Bench seat is no Recaro but does not induce fatigue. Resale is staying up there, but these don’t cost much out the door.

    Cool selection!

    People have been really hard on the new M5, as far as car reviews go. Mine is a 2006, and I plan to keep it for about 3 more years before I get a different DD. Before I got my 360, my M5 was my toy car (25k miles on the clock!), and I truly hope I love it as much as I did before I got the 360 when it really takes over DD duties next month (due to a lease return on my S Class).

    The new M5 is a beast. The car is a bit heavy and lacks some steering feel but overall at the price point it is a comfortable 4 seater that can go like hell! The reviews have been rather poor but I really like my M5. I have chosen to keep the car stock being a DD but an exhaust is needed to get a better connection with the car, the turbos make the car too quiet. The dual clutch tranny is wonderful in the new M5. At the end of the day, for $100,000 you cant find a better all around 4 seater with 560 HP in my opinion. I considered a cls63 but glad I went with the bimmer, its a fun car to drive, I enjoy it....

    2008 BMW 328i coupe auto for DD (carpal tunnel issues)
    1999 911 C4 M6 for some DD duties/date night/track days
    1995 F355 Berlinetta for fun/no track days

    There are some really nice DD's on this sight! Gotta make more money... ;)

    Hi Glassman

    I have a 1967 Jaguar 3.8S too - but I doubt I could afford the gas bills as a daily driver! Usual runabout is a Audi A5 Coupe
