What do you drive and why?

Just got a 2019 Subaru Forester. Had a 2012 till someone decided to T-bone me on the drivers side. The car held up very well to the impact. Walked away even though the damage was such insurance called it a total loss. Safety was a main consideration in getting the new one, plus the AWD system, improved mileage and reliability of the brand. Had an older Honda CRV (2006) and almost bought another, great small SUV.
So what do you drive and why?

Daily driver is a 2015 Nissan Titan 4 door 4wd truck. Why: I need a truck. Tow a trailer often. Go offroad about 3-4 times a month. Haul a lot of stuff.

Trip car and wife’s daily driver: 2009 Infinity G37S coupe. Why: It is beautiful. It has a manual 6 speed transmission. Reasonably fast and good handling. Very pleasant on long trips.

Track car: 2007 Nissan 350Z. Brembo brakes, light flywheel and racing clutch, roll bar, race seat and harnesses (with HANS), track tires. Why: Fast enough to be fun. Cheap enough to crash. Low maintenance and super durable.

Why are we having this discussion on Audiogon? ;-)

Just for the fun of it. The Forester has the option for a JBL sound system, but I did not go up the line to get it. I might? get a premium stereo later from someone else. BTW the Nissan looks like a fun car to drive...

Used to have a Forester. Long drives always gave me knee problems. Rented a recent model, same deal. There's some weird ergonomics happening between the seat and gas pedal.

Last was an Audi, loved it, moved to not needing a car, but a Toyota Highlander may be in my future.
