Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?

Just bought a close to mint 96' 993 C4 cab- it is a car an analog lover would enjoy. Still a little primitive, but modern enough to function as a daily. I don't consider myself a Porsche guy at all- this is my second one, though (I had a 996 GT2 that was a complete animal)- and cannot speak highly enough of the virtues of the older, air-cooled platform. Build quality is superb, car is relatively small and tossable, certainly not about brute force, or straightline performance, but it captures the essence of the driving experience in a way more modern sports cars do not. (In those, you have to go so fast to get to the sensation that it is not fun, at least on the street, where you put lives at risk).

Tvad, you gotta watch out when balancing those oversized sized bronto ribs on your passenger side. They have a way of destabilizing cars. Even ones with tires like cement steamrollers.

Word, Gunbei.

That Mesquite suspension is hard to tune!

When I last responded to this I was driving a 2002 E39 BMW 540 with Dinan Stage 1 kit. It's now full stage 3 and then some. I have also just picked up a 1992 E34 M5. Excellent condition. I do like my BMW's :)

Typical?... probably not! My '78 Volkswagen van that I bought from my brother-in-law (original owner) for $2,000 in 1983 has dragged my gear around to more new set-ups than I would like to remember. If it was just a little bigger, maybe I could set up the gear while I am moving... A great mechanic (relatively low maintenance costs) and a new paint job make her reliable and (I think) beautiful. She probably turns more heads now than when she was new. As for the gear, 165 lb. speakers, 100 lb. amps... no problem.
What I might be driving in the future? I have my eye on a '78 Volkswagen van and it is already in my garage.
Cost no object... Just thinking of all the test driving I would have to do... might even be worth cutting into my listening time.
