A [[Stock Phrase]] that sometimes appears on T-shirts or bumper stickers. This started around 1980 with stickers and license-plate frames reading, "My Other Car Is a Porsche". The others are takeoffs, directly or indirectly, on that cliche of the times.

Line 59:
* My other car is the [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|EVA-01]]
* Made for a tank-crazy [[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (animation)|Rangerphile]]: "My other car is a Sherman".
* Parodied in [[Young Wizards]] [[Live JournalLiveJournal]] icons; specifically, "My other Mac is a Manual" (since many modern wizard's manuals are manifesting as computers similar to Macs).
* Parodied, again, in Terry Pratchett's ''[[Johnny Maxwell Trilogy]]''. The kids are in a graveyard, looking at someone's very showy grave, and Yo-Less comments, more or less, that the dead guy therein should have a sign up that says "My other grave is a porch." The dead guy in question, having died quite a while back, reveals in a conversation with Johnny that he doesn't understand this.
* My other car [[Flintstones|runs on feet.]]
* My other car is a [[Halo|Warthog]].
* A [[Dragon (magazine)|Dragonmirth]] cartoon has "[http://www.reocities.com/nevyn_74/mythsteed.JPG My other steed]{{Dead link}}..." version.
* My other car is a [[Warhammer 4000040,000|Bane]][[Tank Goodness|blade]].
* [[George Carlin]] suggested a sticker reading, "My other car is a [[The Alleged Car|piece of shit]] too.
* ''[[Mummies Alive]]'' - "My Other Car is a Chariot"
