2014 Toyota Sienna - I love this thing. Yes it's a minivan. Whatever. I have a zillion kids and it rides as smooth as any luxury car I've driven. In less two years I've put almost 35k on it, and I'm about to drop 6k more in the next couple months. Did I mention we take some road trips?

2013 Nissan Leaf - I leased this as a financial experiment and to support the EV movement. When gas is at $1.45/gal like it is now... the jokes on me and Prius owners. Oh well. I do love driving it. It's a very unique and fun car to drive. It's also fun to toast the SHIT out of just about everything on the road from a dead stop. Especially kids who think their car is fast.

1992 Mazda Miata - My pop bought this new off the lot. He stored it in winter. Each of us kids took turns denting it and scratching it. He dutifully repaired it each time. About two years ago he told me to come get it. He loved it, but getting in and out of it was getting too hard on him. I obliged. The wife and I drove it from Detroit to Denver. I don't store it in winter here. We don't use salt on the roads - so when it's dry pavement, I drive it. I get lots of looks when it's 20F out and I'm rollin the convertible... but I don't roll with the top up. That's what hats, gloves, and coats were made for.
