What kind of car(s) do you drive and why?

I have driven one of these...

For 3 laps around the Nurburgring.
It is truly orgasmic
I wouldn't drive one on the road though

When i was a kid my dad bought one for my mom... She was over the moon about it until she tried to drive it. I don't know why but he had cold shoulder for dinner for a fortnight.

It took a certain talent to produce a car that ugly.

Or that bad at everything a car should be

It's Czech, now part of the VW Group. I used to buy VWs but Skoda are basically VWs without paying extra for the label.


"Škoda Auto a.s. is a Czech automobile manufacturer established in 1925. After 1991, it was gradually privatized to the German Volkswagen Group, becoming a partial subsidiary in 1994 and a wholly owned subsidiary in 2000. Škoda automobiles are sold in over 100 countriies. As of 2017, Škoda's profit margin was the second highest of all Volkswagen AG brands after Porsche."

My wife has a Skoda SUV, with a few bells and whistles on it, for much the same reason. She loves it.

I drive a white 2022 Hyundai i30 N line sedan. Just replaced my 10 year old Hyundai Veloster SR, since that could only seat 4, and my family comprises of 5.

Looks like this...

Some cars I would like to have owned:

HRG

Invicta

Frazer-Nash

AC Aceca

But the most reliable and most enjoyable I had was a VW Golf GTi 1800.

What color? Hubby's previous car was a dark grey '07 Camry. Great car! We gave it to a friend who named it Black Camary. I guess Black Canary is a superhero?

It's royal blue. Not my favorite, but it looks ok, I guess. No nicknames.
