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.

A '93 Lexus SC300 w/ 124,000 miles on it. I'm aiming for 250,000 (2009 projected date). My weekend ride is a Kawasaki ZRX1100 (the Eddie Lawson Replica replica). If I had money to waste for something I really didn't need, but wanted anyway, I'd go with one them AWD MB station wagons.

I notice alot of people mentioning high performance cars, but virtually nobody mentioning motorcycles. For less than $12,000 you can get a 140bhp (actual measured horse power at the rear wheel), 430lb vehicle that will go 0-60 less than 3 seconds and 0-100 in less than 6 seconds. I don't know of any original equipment car that comes close to this level of performance.
About a month ago I saw a study which compared safety (physical well-being) between urban, suburban and far suburban areas. Contrary to the researcher's expectation, the far suburbs proved to be most dangerous areas to live. The higher injury rates were due soley to the added driving times and mileage required by exurban living. Cars are safer now than ever, but driving a car is still a most dangerous activity. Most tragically drivers with less than a years experience are its most frequent victims.

We should enjoy ourselves, but we need to be careful. Life is so very precious.
Here's an website for all those who lust after exotic cars. It's a different sort of perspective on driving fast.
