What do you drive?

Heathen.

Decided to res this thread rather than make a new one to talk about cars.

Just got me one of these:

…and have since discovered on the internet that apparently it’s bad to value Toyota’s reliability, or to like how this car looks, or to view driving as necessary business rather than a pleasure. Am I alone? Is it weird that I think it looks cool? Is it so awful that I don’t really like to drive? Or are car enthusiasts just that elitist?

a- IMO functionality and reliability > aesthetics, so good choice (although it’s kind of ugly)
b- do you drive stick or automatic? that can give or take a lot of enjoyment
c- they are.

I own an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and it a a fantastic car. Not exactly sexy looking, but it runs great, feels great, and the AC is amazing. I think that’s all that matters. Well, except I’m gonna update the console a wee bit (cassette player is a little…dated to be useful)

See I really like how this car looks, and I find it weird hearing how people dislike its aesthetics, because its styling is rather reminiscent of Lamborghini’s cars, some of the most desirable cars in the world.

Not an exact match obviously, but it shares some of that angularity. Of course, for example, I’m often baffled by what the Top Gear guys think are beautiful cars, like the Huayra, which just looks like a goofy smiling bug to me.

I guess I like my cars to be distinctly machine, looking less graceful and more hard-edged and futuristic.

Also I’m glad I’m not alone in my outlook on driving.

Nope.

EDIT: Seriously, they look nothing alike.
