What do you drive and why?

Daily driver: 2015 VW GTI Autobahn w/ MT, for all the reasons previously stated.  IMHO it has one of the nicest interiors at any price.  I used to have an original MK1 back in the day.  Traded it at the beginning of my Porsche addiction back in 1986.  For fun (well actually both cars are fun): 2014 Porsche Cayman S w/ MT.  We love our MT cars.  The other half has a unicorn, 2008 Lexus IS250 w/ MT!  When we bought the car she told the dealer "Well this is nice, but do you have any other color?".  His reply, "Ma'am, if you want an automatic I have fifty cars you can choose from.  If you want a stick, this is it."  I don't believe I have ever seen another one.

2017 Chevrolet Bolt Premier
because it gives me 240 miles for $4 and it is faster than any gas car

I have owned 72 cars in my life (so far, I am 63). I bought my first car when I was 14. Before 2006 I never owned a car newer than 1972. I have NEVER bought a car from a dealer. I have owned 1956-66 Thunderbirds. I have owned Galaxies, Falcons, Mustangs, Fairlanes. Mercury Monterey. Dodge Darts and Plymouth Valiants. I have owned Pontiac Le Mans Catalina, Chevy Malibus, Buick Skylarks, Rivieras, Electras, Wildcats and Gran Sports, and a couple of GMC pickups. After 2006 I stopped buying classic cars. I have mostly owned 1990s and early 2000s GM cars, such as Cadillac DeVille, Eldorado and Fleetwood. Oldsmobile Aurora and Buick Riviera since 2006.

All that to get to this: I currently own two 1994 Buick Roadmaster Limiteds and one 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon. Why? along with the 3 previously and recently owned 1994-1996 Cadillac Fleetwoods, they are the BEST cars I have ever owned or driven. With only minor improvements to the suspension, (stiffer shocks and larger anti-sway bars) they handle very well, they are very comfortable, they have plenty of power, they are quiet (especially the Fleetwoods) you can carry 5 dead people in the trunk (ha ha), and they get 22-25 mpg on the highway 15-20 around town. I buy cars to cover 1000 miles a day on a vacation. I do buy cars for reasons such as "easy to park" "get great fuel economy" "have cup holders" "go off-road" "have blue tooth and other silly gadgets" "have lane drift warnings" "will brake for me if I am not paying attention" (Heck I have even driven my 1956 and 57 T-Birds on 5000 mile round trips, as I have done with most of my cars). Well you get the drift.

I have driven plenty, but have never owned a foreign car. (Having driven them is the reason I have never owned, Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, Toyota, Subaru, Kia, Nissan, Audi, and Honda). NOTHING rides like a GM rear wheel drive, V8). 

Oh, I forgot to mention, I restored many of the 1972 and earlier cars myself, some total body off frame restorations. And what I mean by "myself" is I did not pay for anyone else to do it except for seats, chrome and machining.   And I ALWAYS have a tool box in the trunk, especially on long trips.  The cars from the 90s and early 00s, do not need restoring, but I have done some upgrades to most of them to suit my tastes. I do maintain them myself of course. 

2016 BMW X3. Quiet, with Harmon Kardon audio system. Tows my little sailboat, and runs 0-60 in 5.2 seconds. Happy grandpa.
