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?

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.

2006 Porsche 911 C4S manual. Speed Yellow, Aero Kit, Roof Racks for bikes and ski box. Named "Smiley" by my daughter as he looks like a smiley face. There is no substitute. Just be ready to work on your own car then keeping it in top shape is not that bad. Parts are easy to get.
Everyone who sees the car thinks it is brand new. Goes like a bat out of hell and the ladies love it. I can't get out of a supermarket parking lot without getting hit on. Wish I had the thing when I was 19.
