Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?


Just curious. People have asked about watches,
cigars, beer, and even ones income here.

1: What do you drive (daily & weekends)?
2: What might you be driving in the future?
3: What would you drive if $$$ was no object (pick 2 ;-)?

My answers to the above:
1: Toyota truck.
2: Newer Toyota truck.
3: Lamborghini Murcielago & McLaren F1.

My gear gives me away...
I touched on this elsewhere, confessing my frozen evolutionary state, with a modest collection of Harman/Kardon TOTL equipment from 1976-1992. My daily driver is a '97 BMW 328iS with sports suspension, manual transmission (how else can it be an Ultimate Driving Machine?), and factory-equipped with an H/K 12-speaker audiophile system with cassette and six-disc changer. It has a cool radio/hi-fi dual selector that optimizes either news radio from the front speakers or a multispeaker system with separate amplification. Like all my old junk, I keep it in 100% functional condition and intend to operate it as long as it is reliable. I enjoy being involved with my driving, and I enjoy spinning vinyl at home-- it's nice having somewhere to play the cassetes and CD-Rs I make as the suspension is a little stiff for a dash-mounted turntable. For pleasure, I ride a modified '95 Moto Guzzi Sport 1100, the earlier carbureted version. It produces its own music, and I would never think of listening to anything else when I am riding. Instant zen.
1. I drive a 1988 Chevrolet Station Wagon.
2. Same car.
3. I'd spend $30,000 to restore it.

1) Minimalist Mazda pickup, 4cyl, 5spd, vinyl (analog?) seats, 28mpg hiway. AM/FM radio, no cassette or CD. Playing Classic Rock or NPR.
2) Some USA sport-oot for Soccer Mom duty. Will allow XM to lapse.
3a: Ferrari 575 Maranello. No radio. Engine noise will keep me satisfied. (Or the upcoming Lexus LF-A if it fits folks my size).
3b: BMW M5, the previous V8. Stick. White.

Addendum.
I spent some time goofing off and reading some other responses. I'm a little surprised nobody has rewired their Jag's ignition with Stealth Indra ... (ducking)
Best car I ever owned was my '98 Bim M3, e36 four-door five-speed. (Waited 18 months for them to build it without a snurf. Sunroof rails steal two inches of headroom PRECISELY on the driver's spinal axis. Me tall; me hate. If you don't follow the automotive scene, [the Bim]'s a very unremarkable-looking car. Lets me blend in. I drove it in a very inconspicuous and courteous manner ... and every now and then I found an empty stretch of I280 to let slip the Jagdhunde and hear'm howl. Wheeeee.
Most responsible car i had was a '92 Honda Civic VX. When CA destructively reformulated their gas, adding 15% oxygen content, I lost 15% fuel economy. I captained that thing like a sailboat - or rather a sailplane. Momentum management and easy power use were cardinal features of driving it, much to the dismay of all the (bad word) jackrabbits behind V6es a few minutes late for work. Pfeh.

Now we have kids, and passenger capacity (and a mountain address) have forced us into large sport-utes. With current gas prices. Oy. Now my fun vehicle is a Harley bagger with a "bite me!" exhaust note.
