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.

The Porsche has the factory radio, nothing special.

The Alfa has a "mini" head in the center console and amps & changer in trunk.

The Nissan Z has an "audiophile-approved" system that cost me around $7,500 when the dust settled.
