Well, most of you seem to have U.S. machinery, and I've had my Chevys (Corvair Monzas), Fords (Boss 302 Mustang and Probe GT), and Pontiacs (6000STE) over the years. But now that I've finally been able to convince myself (and the Mrs.) that I could have a summer car, I've been driving a 2004 BMW 330 Ci convertible for the past few years.

Lemme tell ya, it's a sweet little ride...quick but not blindingly fast, very smooth, excellent handling...and (believe it or not) over 30 mpg on the highway...when I behave myself. The only downside is the sucking sound I hear when I have to get it serviced by the dealership, which is my wallet being emptied.

BTW, my other vehicle is a ten year old Toyota Tacoma...which obviously serves different needs, but which I also enjoy thrashing around in.
