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?

2 Daily Drivers--depends upon the errand or purpose of the trip:

2007 Toyota Corolla--last year the accelerator was mechanically connected to the throttle body.  Starting in 2008, a potentiometer (drive by wire!) was used.  UGH! 136K miles and 34 mpg on regular pump gas.

1966 Corvette Convertible  Nassau Blue/Blue-White Interior, P/S, P/B, P/W, A/C.  WIth both hardtop and soft top, plenty of choices for South Florida weather.  (I cannot pick up pool chems in this car--they don't fit.)
64K miles and...well, never mind, on 1/2 VP 103 or 100 and 1/2 93 pump gas.

Cheers!

I bought a 1996 Honda Civic in 1998 for about $8300 cash. Drove it until July of 2015 when my wife made me trade it in on her Tesla Model S.

Now I'm down drinking' at the bar because I no longer have a car :(

I have to admit though that model S is a pretty cool ride.
