The point of this thread is to hear all voices.
Most of you have your favorite marques. I used to, until I experimented. So, what do you/your loving other drive to work? I appreciate those who drive 914's every day, but most of can't, for various reasons. What I'd be curious to know, besides what you drive daily, is - did you but it or lease it? Would you buy one? (since leasing seems to be becoming a lost item). Why do you drive what you drive? Would you buy one again? Do you like it? Hate it? Just curious. Pat |

I hate Toyotas, so I am glad there are choices ;-)
The Lovely J loves her 3-liter flat-6 Subaru Outback. I liked her 2,5-liter Outback that I inherited when she uprated to the newer car. After the demise of that car we replaced it with a Porsche Support Vehicle '05 Titan XE KingCab 4x4 - white & black like the 911. I like the idea that at 5,6 liters it has exactly the same HP as the 2,8 (half its size...) I'm building for the 911... (but of course you would not tow anything with an RSR...) 5,6-liter 32-valve V8, ABS, traction control, 5-speed automatic. Now that I've got the 285-50/18 Conti Cross-Contact UHP's mounted on 9's for summer, it's deceptively quick. it'll never be 'nimble' but with that level of power, that much traction, Porterfield R4S pads on slotted Frozen rotors, and Bilsteins - it's surprisingly capable. And it'll carry 1000 lbs of mulch or tow any of the Porsches all day long... |
