Thought this would make for some interesting convo and perhaps even be a helpful resource down the road. i.e. 2 members owning the same Audi can PM each other about pats, problems etc.
So here is my list
1994 Porsche 968 a weekend car that I enjoy spending money on. Stays pretty clean and is currently problem free. Garage kept.
2002 BMW 330i My DD and gets little attention as far as upgrades go. I do plan on a few modest ones in the near future but nothing major. Stays in the driveway and every now and then gets in the garage.
2008 Camry SE V6 Wife's DD Problem free and I wash it when i have to. Garage kept. No sticky accelerator outside of my wifes foot. K&N filter added.
1997 Land Cruiser Sits all the way out on the street. Used when needed. Dirty as hell inside out. A couple of rust spots are developing. Recently developed a power steering leak so turning is a bit noisy. This would be the most neglected of all the vehicles but is also the most reliable. I would like to restore it one day.
I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

2006 Volvo S60 - Wife's car, safety is the #1 factor for all decisions involving her and driving.
2002 Volvo S40 - Train station car, loads of deer in our area and the Miata had enough after 4 deer strikes. Was forced to eat my words about safety after I made wife buy Volvo. Cool little 1.9L Turbo though.

[quote name='Fox944' timestamp='1288625253' post='100400']
thread titled 968 Owners & their pets...seeing what kind of pets
[/quote]
Hey, I started a thread like that back on the SW20 (MR2) forum. it was the "Post a pic of your pet thread" Went on for something like 9 pages. And not just cats & dogs, there was everything from horses to turtles.
Flash - congrats on the TR-4. That's the only car I've heard you speak on with more passion then the 68. Didn't know you found one though. Would love to follow the restoration process.
I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

2003 Saab 9-5 Aero; 5-speed stick. Daily Driver. All stock. FWIW, it's faster from 40 to 90 than the 968, but damn scary when the turbo kicks in and you get the torque steer!
2001 Acura MDX - Wife's kid mover. She loves it
1990 Isuzu Trooper - 335,000 miles and still going strong. My favorite. I've decided I'm going to be buried in it.

1994 Porsche 968 used as a daily driver. It is also taken on longer trips when we don't need to carry a lot of extra stuff. It has been driven to Montana on fly fishing trips more than once. routinely hauls cases of wine AKA the Wein Zug
2000 Audi A6 Avant used for everything else. This is the car we use in bad weather because of its all wheel drive. Also used when we have a lot of stuff to haul. With the roof carrier it makes trips to the lumber yard, Home Depot, and the local nursery. It too has made many long trips. Fast, comfortable and utterly safe.

2001 Audi A6 2.4 - resurrected as wife's daily driver. (Despite its age, it is still a phenomenal car compared to the newer MB C-class)
2008 Merc C200 Kompressor - Was wifes DD. I hated it so I sold it <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
Looking for a 2006/7 A8 4.2 or maybe the V10 S8 to replace the A6 next year <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
I try to keep all the cars clean, but really only manage to keep the 968 really clean, the 944 S2 groomed, but dusty. I just spent 3 hours last weekend detailing the engine of the Audi. Next weekend is carpets and leather.

We try to keep with the "sporty" theme with our vehicles, but these other two acknowledge the fact that we do get snow here in Colorado! In fact, we got some this morning.
2006 Cayenne Turbo S - wife's daily driver. 520hp of "wow".
2001 Audi S4 Avant - my daily driver. Absolutely love it!
We just sold our 968 coupe and our 924S, which were also great cars, but had to go to fund a race car.
