Just wondering if you folks have a second ride and what it is... I'll post mine up first, since i'm starting the thread (duh)

1970 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. My friends call it "The Tortoise" but it's also been referred to as "The Green Hornet"

yeah, i'm currently working on a (slightly) bored engine with a hot street cam and a 2-stage carb... it won't be crazy, but at least it'll move a little better. I'd LOVE to throw a 2776cc engine in there (it would be INSANE in a 1500lb car) but that kinda stuff gets expensive, and what with being a poor college student and everything...

That is really cool, I bet you get tons of looks when you take the car out to play.

If the riding lawn mower counts then I also have a Forte SL1 road bike with aluminum frame, carbon fork, and shimano 105 parts through out. Weighs just under 19 pounds with out me. I also have a Schwinn Moab 2 with Rock Shox Judy fork and an odd mix of Shimano XT and SRAM 10, with titec and a sweet set of TRUVATIV FIREX cranks.

The 6i is now my wifes daily driver while I drive a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x4. My son gets to drive my wifes old daily driver a '95 Pontiac Grand Prix 4 dr with 125,000 miles.
The toy in my garage is a 1986 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z that we bought new after we were married. It's a show and cruise vehicle that has just 6,635 original miles. My son already has his eyes on that one.

And now this post will go downhill... downhill mountain biking.
