Did it plenty of times. My M5 was also heavily tuned. Especially loved interstate on-ramps as my hunting ground.

I commute on the autobahn for work and my daily is a VW gti. Extremely fun to drive but holy hell that little thing consumes a shocking amount of fuel. I’m averaging only 17 mpg with it.

My youngest son was in the market for a WRX for a year or so but, as he did more research, he ended up selecting a Honda Civic Type R and is totally happy with it. I drove it and really like the handling, the engine function, and it is roomier that expected inside.

I did. In 3 years, I put 50K miles on it. Drove it to NY a couple of times and several other places. Tires were expensive AF and only lasted about 15-20k miles. Once my warranty expired, it seemed like everything started going wrong with it, and I was coming up on replacing brakes and rotors....which cost about $10k. I realized why people don't make those cars their daily drivers. In the end, with prices coming down quickly and inventory going up, I unloaded it. Had a blast with it, though, and don't regret a second of it.


What was the make and model?

I was driving a 1967 Cougar for many years, but when one of my children got to driving age, I sold it. The thought of a kid who was taught to drive with 4 cylinder front wheel drive car and all disc brakes trying to drive an old muscle car was not very appealing for some reason...

But these days, I ride a 1999 Harley Wide Glide as my main mode of transportation, so I guess that qualifies as a toy.

I have an '08 Mustang GT. I've been in the market for a truck for a while now, but I just refuse to pay these prices. I'm going to have to bite the bullet pretty soon. Luckily, my commute is only 6 miles round trip.

I drive this bad boy everyday and keep a 1/2 tank of Sunoco 120 octane leaded standard fuel in it at all times.

Something that 99% of people drive on weekends, if ever. (Sport cars mainly)

I wanted the wife to love the M5 Comp as much as I do, but she picked the X5M.

My GTS is pretty quick.

Honestly, it is still one of the most mechanically sound cars in the parking lot.
