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.

I drive a Mitsubishi 1990 Space Wagon which retails about less than a used McCormack DNA-0.5 ( $800 )..... :(
new toy -- just got my brand new 2005 BMW M3 Coupe with SMG!!! Awesome machine, the power, the handling, the style, the luxury, ALL combined into one perfect entity.
I've recently undergone an attitude-ectomy. I just traded in my 2000 BMW 540i/6, and in its place I'm driving a 2001 VW Jetta TDI. I decided that doing my bit to save the planet was more important than being BMOC. The new ride is even running on biodiesel. My only concession to performance was having an Upsolute chip installed.

That leaves the future ride and cost-no-object categories open. With the probability of getting another 350,000 miles out of the car I now have, the future may have changed a bit by the time I get there. And cost-no-object cars just aren't part of my world-view any more.

That Bimmer sure was nice, though...
Hey gliderguider its refreshing to see someone who knows the difference between a bimmer & a beemer. I'm with ya when my 87 535is & r100rt wear out (probably outlive me), i'm going alternate energy vehicles of some sort. big oil has to go.
i think differently from Gliderguider and Pehare. The intention of saving the planet is fine but may be too naive and won't make any difference at all. The BIGGEST energy consumer is NOT American car drivers, but the newly thriving third world ecnomic power houses, especially China. The industrial consumption of oil is astonomical because of the crazing growth and extremely low efficiency due to lack of regulation and (in general) crude/old technology. I know this first hand as I came from there.

The world oil reserve will be used up for sure and the oil/gas price will grow exponetially instead of linearly. I will try hard to enjoy the few years left that I can still afford to drive a bimmer, because pretty soon I may not be able to afford to have one anymore.

life is too short to left too many regrets ...
