What kind of cars do we drive?

So boredom I guess has me wondering...

What kind of cars do we knife collectors drive?

Do any of us also collect cars?

What kind of car do we think fits us best?

So for me....

I currently drive a 2008 Cadillac CTS. And I love it, but it is time to start thinking of something new to get excited abbout.

I used to try to collect cars. I was kinda sick shortly after getting the Caddy and got rid of my other cars.

At the time I had a 2004 Acura TL. Nice car.

And a 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. I should have kept it.

And a 1997 Nissan Maxima.

And a 1998 Caddillac El Dorado Touring Coupe. I really wanted to keep this one.

The hardest part of having more than two cars is maintanence. You have trouble even making sure to drive each of them. Early on I drove a different car nearly each day. But with a couple of promotions at work I wound up driving a lot more and I always had paperwork to take to this office or that office depending on the day. Dragging files from one car to the next was a chore. So it went to a different car each week. That even was a pain. Kind of led to the decision to dump some of them.

And washing them. My god.

Then I joined Club Sportiva. Pay a fee to join and you can reserve and drive any of their cars. And, man do they have cars for you! Lamborghinis, Porsche, Jaguars, Ferrari, Noble, Bentley, Tesla....

What do you want? And you can put your fee toward a "share" on an exotic. Want to own a 1/10 share of a Audi R8? And drive it 1/10th's of the days in a year? You got it.

So like I said I got sick. Too sick to drive for awhile. A couple of years.

Now I'm tring to get better. So my next car. The car that fits me. The car that fits my antique switchblade collection. Smooth. Sleek Fast. Beautiful. Sexy.

Aston Martin DB9 Coupe. Morning Frost.

So what do you drive? What do you want to drive?? What car fits your knife collection???

Here's a pic of my absolute Dream Car. I took this picture last year while attending the annual Ferrari Concorso in Old Town Pasadena. It is an Aston Martin DB9...

Ironically, I have not owned a car for more than 10 years and have no intention of ever owning another one. I am car free and debt free and intend to stay that way. From my perspective, with $4.00 a gallon gasoline, owning a car would be like adopting a heroin addict whose habit I would have to pay for. I simply cannot afford it.

Jason,

That is a great picture! It looks like something you would see in a commercial or a print ad for Nissan. Your vehicles are all right hand drive down in Oz, am I correct?

Cheers, mate!

OMG! This river crossing looks rather treacherous! Did you actually make it actually make it all the way across without flooding the engine? It's a GREAT picture, btw!

No water came through at all which was good seeing as the crossing was roughly 80-100m wide lolol

For those of you who love Aston Martin's the way that I do, you will want to take a look at this video with Jay Leno reviewing, admiring, an Aston Martin concept car that was built in celebration of the car company's 100th anniversary.
