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?

Me: Buick Enclave. Because I move lotsa stuff. (And I love it)
Wife: Audi TT. Because it’s SO DAMN MUCH FUN!!! And fuel efficient to boot!

Left out a bunch of turds and beaters. Damn, I’ve had a lot of cars!
I haven't read the last 200 replies in this thread but thought I'd share this:

I just got back from a weekend of instructing at Virginia International Raceway. My lap times and top speeds are pretty pedestrian in my unmodified 350z. But the guy I go with has a '67 Mustang. He hit 170mph on the back stretch!
^ I've ridden with him before (race seat, helmet, HANS). The car is a brute and no power brakes or steering.
I just checked Virginia International Raceway website. Is it that a person cannot come with her/his own car without being a member of some club? Did I miss the option of coming alone?
You generally need to be either a member of a club like NASA, the club I'm with ($45 a year), or go with one of the driving schools like Chin Motor Sports. Expect a weekend to cost close to $400 for eight 20 minute sessions with an instructor (if you are a beginner). Instructors drive for free.

Tracks often have memberships as well. Kind of like a golf/country club. You can get lots of open track time that way but it is very expensive. You'd have to live close by and drive a lot for it to be worth it.

I cannot recommend getting into track days/ racing and hi-fi unless you are well healed........or figure out how to do both on the cheap....like me. ;-)
