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?

Red 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo, manual 5 speed.  Saw the red 944 in the movie 16 Candles, and was hooked.  Bought it in 1994, and it still looks and drives like new.
Black 2002 Ferrari 360 Modena, manual 6 speed.  Made the mistake of driving a 458 on a track at an exotic car experience.  Couldn’t afford one, but a used 360 was in my price range.  Beautiful and fun car to drive, especially with the gated manual shift.  Of course i’ve upgraded the stereos in both cars, because good sounding music is my drug of choice!
I am blessed and very fortunate.  You only live once, work smart, and play hard!
2017 Porsche Macan S
2003 Infiniti G35 coupe - 207,000 miles. I can't bear to part with it because it's still a lot of fun.
I like sports cars and have been driving them for decades. Recently sold examples - Jensen CV8 (sixpack big block Chrysler), Fiero GT with 300 bhp custom turbo engine, Lamborghini Islero S, MGC (straight 6 MGB lookalike).

Current fleet:

Pontiac Solstice coupe - tuned to 375 bhp out of a 2 litre engine

BMW Z4M coupe - because I love the naturally aspirated straight six when it gets up around the 7900 rpm red line

Jensen Interceptor - because you need a gentleman’s carriage that will cruise at triple digit speeds all day (even if there aren’t any roads available to do that any more), and the big block Chrysler offers effortless high speed capability

1962 MGA coupe - because they represent a styling period we’ll never see again

1956 MGA with Fiberfab Jamaican rebody and GM 3.4 V6 with 5 speed transplant

and although I no longer race it, my old race car, a 1958 MGA Twin Cam roadster

And if I need to haul stuff, I can always borrow my wife’s Mazda 3.
