What else is in your driveway?
So the Fit is a fantastic daily driver, grocery getter, road trip king/queen, and general all around great car. However I am curious, what else do you have in the driveway for those days when the Fit just doesn't cut it. Pictures would be great if you can provide them.
Of course I'll start.
My truck 2011 F-150 4x4 SuperCrew with the long bed and 3.5L EcoBoost engine. I am sure you can guess where I got my username.... The picture was taken a few miles off the Appalachian trail on the North Carolina / Tennessee border last summer.
Bonus: dog for good luck!
The wife, son, and I on my 92 Softail Custom in the Smokey mountains of Tennessee this past spring. They took the Fit and ran around 40mpg the whole way down from Chicago, while I was on the bike getting rained on.
FYI - They did not ride with me to the top of the mountain. The Fit is parked a few yards outside of the picture with my riding gear.
So that more or less covers what we park at our house.
What do you drive for work or play when the Fit is parked?

Only other vehicle I own is my '94 Harley-Davidson FLSTN. I bought it new in '93, and last week I turned over 199,000 miles on it on the way home from Montpelier, VT.
Well, there's also my '89 Schwinn road bicycle, too.

I like seeing all the motorcycles! Was going to say great wheelie Wally, but I see you just grabbed a cool stock photo. I was sorely tempted to get a Vstrom or a GS1200 instead of my Softail, but I couldn't pass up on the chrome beast.

We have an array of cars in our driveway.
The Fit ("Slim") is serving the purpose as a daily errand runner and for longer road trips because of the fuel economy.
I have my special, unique rarity; a 1988 Daihatsu Charade (named "Yoshi") with only 55k miles. Bought it five years ago when it had 47k miles. It is pristine and is used mainly just as a toy and for car shows. I'd feel guilty subjecting it to the daily grind
Then there's my fun, weekend car; a 1992 Ford Explorer ("Timmy"). But not just any Explorer, but a Jurassic Park replica. It's always been my favorite movie, and it's been a fun project to combine it with my love of cars. I use the Explorer mainly on weekends because it's so fun; people always take photos and want to talk about it. It has only 61k miles and is also in pristine condition
And lastly, my husband's 2008 Chevrolet Aveo ("Abby"). We've had this car for about five years and have driven it all over the US, as far as Niagara Falls and Washington DC from California. It's been a great car, and with 85k miles, has been very reliable. It's an everyday car for him to get to school and back

I have a 2005 Crown Vic LX Sport gray/black buckets and console with every single option you could get. It's one of 7 program cars that went to the biggest dealershipsto demonstrate all options .Factory dual exhaust. Not bad milage (22hy real world) As far from a cop Vic as you can get.
