Talking My family's less impressive cars

Well, there's the kid with the TL and his dad's got the S2000... this is what we've got... and yes, I paid the car in full by myself... I do get nice summer jobs after all

I've got the Silver TL-S, the truck's a Land Rover Discovery (dad's) and the green american thing in the back is my mom's Lumina :yack:

Rule of thumb with Land Rovers... if it's not leaking, it's empty

There's always a black sheep in the family. My dad still parks his old a$$ Chevy Astro Cargo Van in the driveway. He uses it for his business, but damn it's an eyesore.
BTW, looks like you car is having diarehha in your av.?!?!

You can't be a Hokie and not be a big fan. It's the LAW!

Problem is, I'll be at Georgia Tech this fall for grad school... well, the two schools don't play each other but once in a blue moon. So I think I'll be ok
