I've got a Dodge 2500 work van with 135,000, and a Subaru outback with 197,000. Both '96's. AWD is the way to go here in the east. Got my money in bikes as well. My road and mountain bikes added up to over 8 grand when I had them built!.

2004 GMC Sierra Denali: All-wheel-drive, 4-wheel-steering, 6.0 liter V-8, 325hp.

I bought it along with my Speed Triple after I returned to the US after a 13 month tour in Iraq with the 101st ABN (AASLT) DIV. The war pension was nice and I was able to get my toys before I got married. I'm currently at Fort Knox, KY.

Seems like I am the poor relation on this forum. Don't have a car I can call my own. On the rare occasion I need to use one I borrow the wifes 04 Astra.
If I need one for work related jobs I can't get to on the bike I have what ever the hire company sends. It suits me fine as don't like driving that much I would prefer to ride. At least any money that a car would take up can be spent on the bikes.

Porsche 944 - the only road car I've actually owned. Bought one new back in 1985 and then carried on driving my way through three different ones. Best car Porsche ever designed - a brilliant all rounder.

Actually, you're not the only one. I just didn't reply earlier, because I don't have a S3, either. Well, at least not yet.
My only motorised vehicle has two wheels only. I used to have a tin cocoon, an Opel Vectra (Vauxhall Cavalier in the UK, Chevy ...something in the US) but I sold it and traded it for an enduro bike a couple of years ago. I think I might be able to afford one today, but so far I have chosen not to get one.
Perhaps I'll need one later on, though, and I think I'd like to have something like a Jeep Wrangler or something along that line, a lightweight on-off road car, or perhaps a sporty station wagon รก la Alfa-Romeo. Or a van, to carry bikes and stuff. However, I'd rather spend more money on bikes than on a tin can on wheels, so I might settle for a decent used tin can, like the one I used to have. Tin cans are boring.
Well, perhaps my friend's Alfa GTA is an exception... :wink:
