Notice I said vehicles. I want to see the 2 wheeled ones, too.
Wife's car is this beauty. Very fun to drive. 2013 Volvo C70.

Right now the CX5 is the only. Sucks, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices when you're sub-6 figures and don't choose to co-depend.
 
With Uno on this one, one and only Cx5. Well my wife has a 13 elantra GT but not worth posting a pic of that thing lol It does well and she hasn't had any issues at all with it so that is nice. Someday hope to have another mustang in the driveway though. Man I miss the growl of a v8. Nothing better than that imo.
 
Here's my baby, parked at work (back when I used to have to work for a living)

2008 ZG1400, bought new in 2009.

Nice! I really should get into mountain biking. We have the only professionally maintained trail system in the US, here.
 
Just a paid off CX-5 right now.

Would love to get a Miata in the future. Saw an NC PRHT Miata on the way to work. Man, would love one of those.

Thought about a new ND, but I just can't justify a new car purchase this year or possibly even next year too. Circumstances have just drained my savings the past 12 months. Rebuilding that now. Guess we'll see after that. Plus gotta look at getting out of renting.

More money, that's what I need! (rofl)

eh? We have 2 vehicles and 4 bicycles, and are sub-6 figures, but my vehicle has been paid off for 15 years now.

My other vehicle in my sig, bought in 2001. This pic is from 10 years ago, and the paint looks like poo nowadays. But I still drive it 2 or 3 times a week. Not much anymore since I ride one of my bikes for much of my commuting and around town stuff.

I love the looks of the 2017 3 wagon. I like how it looks like a shorter/squashed CX-5. I would love the 2.5L 6MT in the garage next to our CX-5... possibly in matching colors (white)? But the red looks amazing.
 
My 2nd car is a Boring Camry. 15. Its quiet very roomy and might go to 100K miles from 30 without even an oil change.
I am in Pennsylvania - in the hill parts north of harrisburg and got a SE camry. It handles worse than my CX5. Sports Edition sedan worse at handling than giant hulking CX-5. Unbelievable. Thats Toyota for u, but hey atleast it does not have a CVT (yet).

My next car will mostly be a Mazda if they can bring in a very FE car. I would think of a fun electric or something like CX-5 with 37 or more combined.
I love how Mazda hits their EPA #s without even driving like a grandma. CX-5 has been excellent. I know friends driving comparable cars not hitting 25. I am hitting 28 and if I really try and keep my psi's up regularly - I can hit 30.
 
My wife's car is a 09' white CRV. No need to post pictures about it. You all know, how that looks. Next year(when I'm done paying off my car), is her turn to get something new.
 
2013 VW Golf - 4 door, gray. Nothing too special about it, lol. It's my husband's daily driver. He also has a BMW S1000R in black (motorcycle), but I forget the year (it's either 1-3 years old).
 
Here's my '92 Yamaha XJ600 that I did a complete frame off restoration of, including doing all the painting and body work myself, in the garage! Quite a big change from what it started as as a half faired standard bike and I did a naked conversion fabricating a lot of the parts to hold the round headlight, dash and bikini fairing.

In the back you can see my 2003 Protege5 that got replaced by the CX-5.

And here is my wife's vehicle we picked up about a month ago now! Now all I have to do is get a boat to tow with this thing! The 7,200lb towing capacity is a major reason we went with the GLE350

Got a front pic? I'm not a huge bike guy, but I've always like the look of exposed frames and old cafe racers. This kind of looks like a more modern vision of a mash-up like that. I like the way it looks from what I see!

Also loving all the real bikes (bicycles). Some nice gear going on in here. I sense a new thread coming... "show me your rack" - i.e. what rack you're running and them loaded up.
