Based on the three Jeeps in the first picture I'd guess he's a Jeep man!

Jeep and Miata! The Cherokee was actually passed from my wife to my son- 195,000 miles and still going strong. The Grande Cherokee is mostly for towing. A nice thing about Jeeps is that I only need to clear one side of the driveway. Chris's Subaru is AWD, but it suffers with less than a third of the ground clearance of the Jeeps and she doesn't think the airdam on the front of the WRX should be used as a snow plow. I would have lost my driver's license long ago if the WRX were mine. I clear her side to about 2-3 inches, just before the snow blower starts throwing rocks. The backboard is adjustable and regulation at full height; the tilt is the wide-angle lens.

edit: Gary, good eye to spot the Wrangler in front of the Cherokee. Non-Jeepers would be hard pressed to make that ID. I'm enjoying that panorama on the balcony as I type this. I spent the day cleaning and prepping Pearl for launch.

My daughter has a Cherokee like the one behind the wrangler except it's red.

Ouch! It is a little warmer down where you are. Sunshine cures all.

I always thought the Cherokee was the most attractive car that Jeep built, elegant in its clean simplicity. Chris actually left the Jeep brand when they dropped the Cherokee (she had 2) for the Liberty. She spent a year with a Jetta turbo before falling for the Subaru Forester and then the WRX.
