Like some others on the board, used to be into cars more. That is until I started riding. I had a 91 MR2 Turbo, and a 98 Ford Taurus SHO. Now I drive my wife's 94 Accord LX with 177K, and geting 34-36 mpg. Couldn''t be happier. Because if don't feel like being Beige, I got the Rockster! Thought I would miss the MR2 after I sold it, but getting 43mpg while dusting off sports cars cleared that up quickly!
Gone but not forgotten: 2004 Orange Rockster

Ford F150 six cylinder, stick shift---slug.

I get my mileage, and use, out of the truck.

I get my adrenaline from the bike.

I live for a little adrenaline. Give me more!

'97 Dodge Ram 1500 to pull a '98 20' Bass Boat and a 4'X8' utility trailer
'94 Camry with 152,000 miles for rain days (4 cylinder and runs like a top!)
'03 Highlander for the wife and 6 month old daughter
'02 Yamaha Beartracker ATV for hunting
'04 Silver R1150R non-ABS

I have a few rules when buying cars, never buy American, always buy German. Have a Mercedes E320 at the moment - might consider a BMW 5 Series or Audi next time around.

Who needs a car. I ride nuttin' but two wheels--my R and my mountain bike get me to work. My 02' R has 39k on 'er now and she's purrin' like a kitten. I love that bike. If I bought a car, she'd kick me out of the house. Love them German women.

I must hang my head in shame...I drive a '99 Saturn wagon, which only looks cool when I have my dog in the car with me. (I refer to it as the "Mommymobile" though I have no kids.) But my garage also boasts an '03 Honda Shadow ACE Deluxe, my first bike which I haven't sold yet. I've had it out twice since I got my Rockster in June.

I really want a 4-wheeled Beamer bad. Would buy American if Detroit could turn out a luxury car that performed. They just don't get it . :cry:
Stupidity should be painful.
