Monday to Fryday I drive a BMW 535i V8 with the Mkit. Really good looking and 245 Hp.

Very satisfied with it.

Obviously nothing to say with our beloved S2000.

I have a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee for those rainy days & trips to the grocery store. I like having the option of choosing which vehicle to drive....and after driving the Jeep, it REALLY makes me appreciate the S2000!

I'm thinking about keeping my '95 civic with close to 100k mi. on it as a beater and just driving it until it dies.

Currently, I have a 88 CRX Si, but that may be canned or converted to race status soon, in favor of another dd. Owning 2 two seaters is not practical.

97 3.0 CL. A glorified Accord, but it works just fine.

I drive a white 1996 Ford Contour during rauny days and for most of the winter, until I get the urge to drive my stook. And on the rare occasion that I do drive the stook, I have put snows on to be safe.

I also have a 1998 Lincoln Navigator which satisfies the family needs and my wife's need to loom large and high on the road.

I'm looking to sell my Contour in order to buy a 2001 Xterra. Anyone have an opinion about the Xterra as a winter car?

I looked into buying a Xterra but I wasn't impressed with the engine. It's a bit underpowered methinks. If Nissan decides to add the supercharger to it, then it would probably be ok. Also the suspension is very soft...for a truck.

I Have a '00 Xterra and think its just fine, not the biggest engine (170hp V6) but we have S2000's to go fast! it is a good winter car-has a good low gear in 4WD.

I kept my old car as the beater car. Both cars aren't very practical though, not like Sondra_S2K, who actually has a useable car. My beater car is my old 93 Prelude Si.
