What's in Your Garage?

I didn't know if i would like it coming from a 2008 M3, but its awesome.
We can't stop driving it and what I mean by we, is that my wife keeps taking it out. She's put more miles on it that I have, that's the downside of a dual clutch, she can drive it, LOL.

For fun, a Race-Prepped but Road Legal RHD 1972 Spitfire I bought for £1100 in 2007 and built in a friend's garage and on the streets of central London. Shipped over from the UK because I had so much of my blood(literally) sweat & tears in it I couldn't bear to sell it. Makes about 90BHP, weighs 780KG with a full fuel tank and a roll cage.
Daily Driver - Ford F350 Crew Cab Long Box with the old indirect injection 7.3 IDI Diesel. Plumbed in a tank warming and heat exchanging system to pre-heat the fuel from the front tank, plus an extra fuel filter and run primarily on processed waste cooking oil. Takes me 5 minutes of my time to process 40 L of oil to remove the any water & filter particulate out and then I'm running on free fuel. Measure my MPG in miles per gallon of petro-diesel that I actually buy (you have to start & finish on petro to purge the system.) My record so far is 76mpg US, 88.7mpg Imperial.

Driving gen3 Prius (hey - solar roof for AC !) and Highlander hybrid.
What else - driving through THOSE Cambridge MA baby bath potholes?
Vanti S is not too bad on tough streets, though. Vetted that before purchase with kin in third world AM considered practical exotic.
Bottomed out with Lotus before.
Cheers.

1976 Olds Cutlass Supreme Brougham -- also from dad
1978 Ford Escort
1987 Honda CRX -- from wife
1990 Ford Probe GT -- also from wife
2000 Toyota 4Runner -- from wife (spot a trend?)
2004 Volvo S60 T5
2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage (currently in garage)

I love the variety that everyone has..very interesting!
Here's mine-
Currently:
2010 Range Rover Sport (daily rig)
2011 Range Rover HSE (wife's rig)
2010 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (4" lift, 35's set up as expedition rig)
2014 Shelby GT 500 Conv (had to grab one before they stopped making them!)
2007 Aston Martin V8 Vantage
2008 Ducati Desmosedici (sadly just sold-stupid me)
2008 Ducati 1098S
2008 Ducati Hypermotard 1100S
2007 Ducati Monster 800 (wife's bike)
2014 BMW R1200GS (distance/exploration ride)
2010 BMW R1200GS (wife's bike)
A decent mix for the moment, just not a very long window of opportunity to enjoy them in the crappy NH weather!
