Simple question feel free to elaborate but let's limit this to "what you drive now and what you had before." Let's try not to get caught up talking down others. I'm just curious what the typical F1 fan drives.

For starters these are my first cars.
1990 iroc-z
1995 z28
2002 z28
2005 GTO
2004 Z06

Now 2013 Mustang GT (it has Pirelli's!)

Currently, my company car is a 2013 Ford F250 SD 4X4 6.2 liter crew cab. Personal car is a 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser 4X4.

Notable fun cars from b.c. (before the crash of '08)

1979 Porsche 930--my all time favorite.
1975 Ferrari-Dino 308 GT4--in 18 months, spent more than the purchase price in repairs. Sold it shortly before I set fire to it.
1972 Chevrolet Corvette roadster, 350 4-speed--was parked at the grocery store with a for sale sign on it. Went for food, bought a Vette.
1970 Ford Mustang Mach I, 351C 4V, auto--my teenage drag car.
1991 Porsche 928 GT--Fantastic car. No sense of strong acceleration, but was always going 35-50 mph faster than it seemed.
1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 5-sp, Saleen tweeked--Some sort of test mule for air conditioning units, bought it directly from Ford while I worked for Saleen. Built it up with an assortment of used racing dept. parts. Nearly lost my license at 22 for good.

There were others, family/company cars, but those were the highlights.

This one:



Joking aside, current one is Honda, looking to replace it with Mazda 6 MPS.

I know the Mazda 6, but what is the mps?

Mazda Performance Series - available for 3 and 6 series. The 3 is front wheel drive with LSD, the 6 is a large sedan with AWD, leather seats, BOSE sound system and spacious cabin. Both share the same 2.3L turbocharged engine producing around 260 HP. 0-100 is dealt with in about 6.5 seconds. The outside of the car cannot really tell you what kind of beast you are driving, except for the twin exhausts.
I've had the chance to drive it just once and I'm in love - very balanced chassis, easy to drive and slide, all the power is down on the wheels immediately, no turbo lag, informative steering. Wolf in a sheep clothes.

1993 VR holden commodore, old banger.

(basically a vauxhall carlton with a buick 3800 V6 and a borg warner driveline)
