OK, I've now got rid of the Corvette so am looking for an -friendly second car

So, what car do you have with a "My other car's an HSV" bumper sticker?

I have a 2.5L Jeep Wrangler in yellow, great fun all year round! It is interesting to take on 1.2 Nova boy's in it as it has quite low gearing.

Don't fight the voices in your head, give in to them..
buy a Smart & join the "SMART HSV owners club!"

We can get stickers made 4 the smarts....

Wouldn't want to be without the Smart, which is incredibly useful for us & gets used daily. Supermarket car park was full on Sat. no problem for the Smart though, just fitted it into the 5ft long space under a tree.
The Saab 9-5 Aero wagon is the family hold-all & I use it for business trips now to help preserve the HSV. Very comfy & good to drive, 250bhp & FWD also makes for some fun moments!
From a practical point of view, you may need a car that can carry stuff, in which case a hatch/estate would be sensible. I guess a diesel would be good as well, if you are going to do highish miles.

Yeah.. so easy to park, first weekend we got ours we parked it in the empty shopping trolley bay right out the front of Waitrose! Took a pic for a laugh, (sorry, you'll have to click on the cross, I can't seem to get pics to appear (unless it's just my browser)

LOL.
I actually got congratulated by the driver of an Audi who was searching for a parking space.
Amazing how much shopping fits in as well.
Apologies for boring the non Smart owners!

Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0L

Makes the Monaro seem great on fuel

Massive wheels, obligatory tow bar, side steps and hefty Bull Bar to help 'encourage' other road users to move.

Bling'd to the max!

We have a Puma & a Scorpio.

Puma is great.
Handles brilliantly.
Isn't particularly fast but revs like a bugger and has a nice flat torque curve.

Scorpio is a good old fashioned big saloon...huge boot, 5 adults in comfort and all the toys you can think of.
