Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?

Just curious. People have asked about watches,
cigars, beer, and even ones income here.

1: What do you drive (daily & weekends)?
2: What might you be driving in the future?
3: What would you drive if $$$ was no object (pick 2 ;-)?

My answers to the above:
1: Toyota truck.
2: Newer Toyota truck.
3: Lamborghini Murcielago & McLaren F1.

Mrtennis, what separates men from boys is the cost of their toys. I used to spend more money racing catamarans than on audio or sports cars. Now I live nowhere near the Gulf or ocean, and need the capacity of a SUV rather than the performance of the Cayman.

thanks for the responses. they make a lot of senses

if I follow the logic one might expect an audio enthusiast to own an expensive watch, or have a wine cellar, or engage in some other hobby that requires large outlays of funds.

Mrtennis, I suspect that is true with those of extra monetary reserves. Others may only be able to put their prized eggs in one basket. So, you collect rackets? HA :)

You can own a cool, collectible car without being rich.
Or you can spend money lavishly, without regard to what makes sense.
Same thing in audio.

I drive a 1997 Lexus ES300; paid off a long time ago; I keep it in pristine condition, because I don't want a car payment. This allows me to save up for my audio addiction...which is currently saving up for new amps.
