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?

Another +vote for Buick Enclave. This is an excellent SUV w/o getting into Suburban/Tahoe pricetag and size.
Oooh I wanna play:

only sport cars (and yes I have a wife and kid)

only manual transmissions (why, well if you have to ask . . .)

A car is more than an appliance to me. It’s a connection to the experience. Just like my audio equipment. 

my current stable:

Porsche 944 Turbo
Subaru BRZ


My first Porsche was a 944 Turbo, Guards Red/Black. I loved that car. It was so much better than any other car I had ever driven. I wrecked it when it was just over a year old. Skip Barber fixed that problem.
There is an old saying,"Everyone wrecks there first Porsche" So I suppose I am typical.
They are trying to take our manuals away from us! Ferrari and Lambo do not make one manual car between them and we have to fuss  at Porsche to keep giving us manuals. Look what they just did. They released only PDK 992 911s. Fortunately, I have Smiley who should be able to make it to the end of my life. Consider it a challenge.
I took my car in for an oil change and spring check up last week at 116,000 miles. They told me another customer had the exact some car 2003 VW Passat with 366,000 miles. So many years of ownership ahead of me I hope and the car is long paid off!
