Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?

My wife says I'm the only guy in America who paid more for his refigerator than he did for his car. I drive a 1987 Toyota Camry sedan that just turned over 200K miles and there's a Sub Zero in the kitchen.
She drives a 1987 Camry wagon.
Financially speaking cars are a loser so we don't allocate funds to them unnecessarily.
Dream car would be free to own and operate.

I still have both of these cars. I spend maybe $500/year per car for repairs and maintenance. The Camry sedan now has 275,000 miles on it and it doesn't burn any oil. I haven't made a car payment in 20 years. Of course, these cars aren't exciting, don't turn heads, and fall short on modern features, but they allow me to work part-time and buy other things that matter more to me. Still have that refrigerator too.
I'm probably not typical.

I owned a 1995 Camry. It was a great car. Boring as hell. I'd consider owning another, but the present design is too fugly, IMO.

The Camry still required warranty work, and cost my sister-in-law, who purchased it from us, a few thousand dollars in repairs until she gave it up because it was going to cost her a few thousand more.

I read accounts of people all the time who own brands of cars I own or have owned over the years, who tell stories of hundreds of thousands of care-free miles on their cars. I keep hoping that one day I will own one of those cars, but it hasn't happened yet.

02' Maxima. Before that, an '89.

I have a 1995 ford bronco--great truck --don't have to drive alot which is good because the gas mileage sucks----never been a car person -find it strange that my new ic's are worth more than my car ! :):)--rich
