What Do IT Pros Drive?

@scottalanmiller RX7's are really good fun, but there's only one rule they obey like clockwork:
Boost goes in, apex seals come out.
-
Yeah, the engine is a bit much to maintain. But what a car to drive.

I've had a Mazda continuously since 2001. They are great. My number one choice for Asian-made cars for sure. The only one that I would go out of my way to buy. I have a 1988 Mazda RX7 convertible that I took @dominica out on our first day the evening that I bought it. That car is old and garaged but was an incredible drive.
I bought a yellow 2002 PR5 that @dominica liked so much she bought a matching blue one the next weekend!!
Traded in the 2002 for a 2003 Mazda 6 that was so nicely equipment that @dominica, the car and I got onto the cover of Mazda's driver magazine with it
That car was amazing. Drove like a dream.Every Mazda of my own has been standard, Dominica's was automatic.
My buddy in high school had an 80s model RX7. Did yours have the pull out choke?
-
No, that was a generation before mine.

We have 3 cars here.
@art_of_shred has a 2014 Dodge Caravan for hauling band stuff and a 2014 Malibu

This spring I spent driving an Opal Corsa. What a piece of junk.

Wow, you really are!
I have 3 kids, need the room. One is on his way to college right about the time the lease is up on the Jeep, and I fully intend to downsize the wheelbase, upsize the horsepower and add a 3rd pedal

My oldest son drives the Ponitac variant of that car, excellent machine. I drove it for a couple years till he turned 16.
EDIT: Nevermind, the Vibe is a Matrix, not a Yaris....

Yeah, this thing is junk.

GM would not rebrand a Yaris. They make much better cheap cars.

My first ever new car was a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid.
Totaled it a week before Thanksgiving 2013. It had 140,000 miles or so on it.
Bought a used 2010 Honda Insight with ~80,000 miles I think. Up to 110,000 now.
-
I usually a Carolla (manual B) ).
I kind of wish I still had my Falcon/Fairmont still but that started having weird problems. -
I've got an 11 F150 Super Crew Ecoboost (love it). Wife has a 13 Explorer Limited (love it for different reasons). Don't know what is next for me, but i'll be getting something newer soon.

This got me thinking that I have lost track of the vehicles I have totaled.
I think this is the right order:
1971 Pontiac Lemans - My first Car (totaled prior to getting my license)
1970 Dodge Coronet 440 - My Second Car
196X Dodge work truck
1985 Dodge K Car - Pushed into a guardrail, superficial damage, but it fried the computer.
1981 Ford Mustang - Upside down in a ditch
1981 Ford Capri (owned 2 weeks) - Telephone pole dropped on it (while I was sleeping).
199X Ford Ranger - Deer
199X Ford E150 Van - Blown motor
2005 Honda CivicI think I am missing one, but i cannot recall it at the moment..
-
You totaled all of those?!?
-
I had a 1991 Buick Regal go up in flames on the highway. Just caught fire and up it went.
