Default Your 2nd vehicle?
What do you F guys drive as a second method of transportation, if you do use one?

1. Something simple like a Civic...
2. Something faster like the GTR...
3. Something big like the Cayenne...
4. Something small like the R1...

I have a bike I rarely use, and will be getting wifey a 2nd vehicle, I'm thinking about a SUV...

Chevy Malibu baby. Real dirty and tons of miles and dents. True definition of a beater, but I like it and it has served me very well.

My Honda Prelude has been relegated to the role as the "winter beater", albeit one dressed with TE-37's, Tein coilovers, Spoon brakes, Spoon tower bars, Evo Recaros, S2K steering wheel, HID projector retros and custom LED tails.

...but it's got the all-season tires, so...

But apparently 5-speed Preludes are high demand in the used car market so I might consider selling it next year and pick up a used AWD wagon. A used RX would be nice but I don't want to spend that much. Perhaps a Subie or Audi with Quattro... Nosediving German resale value FTW!
