which car is sitting in your listening room?

I'd love to get my hands on the new Toyota Supra and bask my ears in it's revelry.

I'm going with a 21 window split windshield VW Bus.

At full retail, I could have one of these with some change left over:

With the leftover change, I'd have this one for occasional desert excursions:

Then again, I could have one of these:

Or, for leisurely Sunday morning jaunts through the canyons, perhaps this:

I could probably have this

while still only dreaming of this

When in reality, as long as we're fantasizing, I would go for the Singer.

This thread made me think of how important reliability is in an audio system and with cars, and what the cost of repair would be. I don't think I would ever buy a really expensive piece of audio gear or a car without having a good idea of it's reliability. I've been through gear and cars that kept breaking and don't want to go there again, which is why I would be hesitant about buying anything exotic. My friend bought a Porsche Turbo and was paying $900 just for an oil change. There's plenty of audio gear that costs at least that much to ship and perform a simple repair. I went through that with a Meridian processor.

In terms of the actual acquisition, which is over a very LONG period of time, the analogy would have to be like Johnny Cash's "One Piece at a Time":  "Well its a '49, '50, '51. . ."

What I eventually would want:
I’m totally happy with what I have now. I have a Camry and appreciate its reliablity. It is problem-free. I have friends with BMW’s and I appreciate the way they perform. So I guess you could say my system is a blend of the Camry and BMW, which is fine by me. There’s no need to spend more.

I am guessing a Bentley Bentayga.  The only thing a Bentayga has over my system, in terms of what I need, is that it has cup holders.

What I actually paid for everything in my system:
2019 Toyota Camry, fully loaded

If I had paid full msrp for my system:
2019 BMW 330i with option 1

This really puts my spending in perspective, thanks! I have been into this hobby for around 20 years, so all in all it's not too bad.

Good Call.
