Is the Max the only car you own?

I used to have an 87 Chevy Nova as a winter beater but it died. Max is currently my only car. I think I'm going to pick up a small 4wd pickup for winter and to start towing the car to the track so I don't have to F around with the slicks at the track and for the danger of breaking things if and when I can ever afford to put some more power into this car.

2k2 maxima, 2k1 volvo cross-country

there is nothing better in the snow than that cross-country, and I've driven a lot of cars in the snow. It made my ford f-150 4x4 look like a plaything when I 'raced' my wife on snowy/icy roads up in maine. It kicked the truck's *ss.

I'm envious! No more cars for me until I'm living in Orlando. I want a perfectly flat driveway, slam both my Maxes to the ground and burn the all season tires!
