Wife has a 2002 Ford Taurus Wagon SEL - with the "jump seats" in the back so it seats 8. Good for the 3 kids, dog and cat going to the cottage.

My other cars...
Besides the 2005 TL (5AT NON-NAVI) which the wife drives, I have a supercharged/intercooled 4.6L V-8 1995 T-Bird LX and a 2003 Acura RSX (5AT).
The T-Bird is my toy and runs 12's in the 1/4 mile. The RSX is my daily driver.

Keep Right Except to Pass
My other car is a 1988 Mazda RX-7 convertible. Doesn't get driven much at this time of year, though, for rather obvious reasons.

I have Falken Ziex ZE512s which are a marked improvement over the RE92s, which are flatout dangerous tires on the Maxima. Sidenote: When I bought my Maxima back in 02, there were only three or four different tire models for tire size 225-50-17...thanks to BMW (E90), Chevrolet (Malibu/Impala) and Caddy (CTS), there are now a bunch of tires for that size: Link

I have a 93 Acura Legend and a 94 Chevy Camaro Z28.
Both cars never gave me any problems, that's why I still have them
Hopefully my 05 TL will do the same!!!

I couldn't decide between a G35 Coupe and a TL, so we got both 
. I wanted to get the TL in Redondo Red pearl again, like our 2G, but ended up with the same color as the G35...

Last Wed I traded my 05 6sp NBP for a WDP AT Nav...this will be my weekend cruiser
My daily driver is an 06 Accord Sedan EX V6 AT Nav (Saphire Blue Pearl)
Also have a Silverado SS AWD (Red) for whenever I need a pick up while I redo the interior of my home in the hills...has super low miles on it
In storage I have an 05 Corvette Z06 (Millenium Yellow) which has the 5th last production number for a Z06 but the last one for Yellow...I just pull it out very rarely...has 259 miles

Our 92 NSX has 62k miles on it and rarely gets driven. It is nice to know that whenever we want to drive it we can.
Pretty much say the same of our TL. We normally use it only for going out with friends or out of town trips.
We enjoy driving our Integras for daily use to much. Sounds kinda strange I imagine but it is true.

So to answer your questions...I really want this thing to be around when I'm like 100 years old (75 will be fine too) and I want it as original as possible...the car was a retirement gift to myself after 28 years in the US Air Force...some sentiments exist around my decision not to drive it all the time...and yes I torture myself by even going into the storage garage to look at it every week.
Cheers, Z
