The primary is a '02 Silverado for towing and commuting. Of course it gets switched off with the others also. [:D]

Ahhh, so two Silverados so far...anyone else?
My other ride is in the same pic as my vette in my avatar...BMW 325i for rainy/snowy days only. Just your basic boring navy blue sedan, nothing to get excited over.
The impending winter weather is depressing me...I rather be driving the vette! [:((]

Right now, just the Vette. Traded my other vehicle in and am still kicking myself. It was an Explorer Sport Trac, less than 8K on the bill, and zero APR. Dumb, dumb, dumb. I was overly concerned about available parking in my condo complex.
Particularly this morning with the snow. Tried to leave my condo complex and both TCS and ABS were working overtime. Turned around (actually, slid around [8-|] [8-|] ) and came home. Definitely miss my 4 wheel drive on days like this. [:((] [:((] [:((]

Wow, a lot of trucks winning the poll so far!
Jeff-Can't believe you (tried) to drive the vette in this! You have a lot more courage than I do. Glad you're home and safe and sound. [:)]

'95 Accura Intergra (read civic). It does not have a lot of grunt but at least the five speed keeps the 'heel & toe' in practice.

POS 90 Dodge Shadow for the daily grind. Since the family is down to two cars the wife gets to drive the Corvette all the time[:(]

99 Lexus 300 (toyota anyway you look at it)
'01 Acura CL (honda, not a bad car though)
Both slush boxes, both unexciting, basic transportation. My Z06 can ususally beat the Lexus for gas mileage if I stay out of the throttle. Sunday went for a cruise out west, filled the tank and traveling 50 to 80 got 26mpg from 405hp! Aren't computers wonderful!

My other ride, for commuting to and from the airport, is a 2002 Audi A-4 Quattro, 3.0 L. There's my ever faithful '93 F350 for hauling the trailer and Vette around to the tracks. And I know there's a hot rod 2nd Gen RX7 around here somewhere that my son drives to school, autox's and track days. I'm not allowed to drive it anymore. Too old and too slow!
And finally there's a Toyota Supra around here that my wife drives to and from work. Oh yeah, I forgot about the Bonneville we keep parked in her mothers driveway. Then there's the 2 wheeled vehicles in the garage. But, we'll save them for another day. Matter of fact, I think it's time to go out and drive one now. Beautiful weather here in Richmond. Got to have those toys. Adios...............

Couldn't stand putting the excess miles on the Coupe. Got transferred to a new location (for me) in downtown Arlington next to Ballston Commons Mall.
Went out a purchased a used 2002 Explorer Sport Trac (see my post above from about 2 months ago [:D] ) to be my daily driver.

Since you have to take a second out on the house to buy gas, I drive a 1996 Chevy Beretta, 3.2 six, auto, red, with power door locks, real collector car.
Its got 130K on it, Keep it in great shape, drinks no oil, and runs smooth. I'll keep it as I get about 28 MPG. Since I drive over 110 miles per day..to and from work, I need this.
My other car is the 2002 Trailblazer, great shape, but used for shorter trips because of the gas....[:D]

1998 Mitsubishi Montero ( wifes car ), but I steal it for work when

truck for daily driving and to tow the Vette when nessisary.
