OK Fanboys! Let Us All Know What You Drive!

Ok so I am on here everyday and what amazes me is this fanboy culture you all have created here. Lexus Lovers/Haters. BMW Lovers/Haters.... German Car Fans, Japanese Car Fans.... But what I wonder when I read the comments here is how many of you guys have really tried these other brands out, how many of you have actually driven a BMW 3 series, or that new Lexus GS Hybrid? And most of all I really wonder what do you all drive? Honestly post what you drive and the favorite car you test drove and why it has made you the fanboy you are!
I currently drive a 2007 BMW 330i and love it! But I have driven Lexus and can say I like them too.... just the BMW won my heart in the twisty bits.

So come on everyone! Let us know what you drive and what makes you a fanboy!

I've owned 2, BMW 3 series, 2 Audi A6 Turbo, 1 Benz... currently on my 3rd Infiniti... an M35x. All the cars were nice, including this one.

Forgot to add what I like... Hmmmm... this model is still sort of sporty, though less than the Bimmers and A6s... but it's a good balance of "enjoyable to drive" and "comfortable cruiser". It's roomier than the others and the fit/finish is equal to the Audi.

For 2008, the M45 (V8) will have an "x" option.. all wheel drive.

Look this is pointless. The late Sam Walton drove a pick -up most of the time. To some a sports car is nothing but a overpridced two seat no trunk silly car, other's think a 4 door bench seat Mercury is their cat's meow?
To try out another brand of car to prove to yourself your loyalty to your old car was dumb and you have been fooled all these years doesn't happen by a test drive of a BMW or anything else. Most people are very loyal to their brand car and drive what they belive is their dream machine.
My neighbor just bought a MX-5 he can afford a Porsche easily but he likes Miatas, he never went to a Porshe dealer to try to talk himself into another brand, he is comfortable with Mazda?

As for myself... In the garage: 1989 BMW E30 M3…
My daily driver 1984 240 Turbo Volvo. It has 230k miles on the chassis & 12k on the rebuilt (B230ET) "monster" engine. Most reliable car, most fun, easiest to tune & mod, and mainly just a simple box that smothers cars worth 45k more. Of course many of you guys more than likely would say it’s design is crap, boring, ridiculous, and so on. But I must say hey we all like CARS… ?
There is no way I could be stuck to one brand of car, maybe I am weird but there is more to life then worshiping a “Brand.” After owning a 2004 VW R32. Which is one of the most over looked cars. I really liked the car but the lease was up and I had to give it back. So I went back to my trusty ‘ol Volvo. Recently I had the privilege of driving my Father-in-laws 1997 (15th Anniversary Ed.) Toyota Supra TT. I love this car. It still is a killer buy in todays automobile market.
I do not own a Lexus nor would I "hate/flame" on any Lexus or any brand. But Lexus does have more RWD cars than any US manufacture which says something... What people need to do is open there eyes on the Car industry! Like what you like and keep some things to yourself. IF you seem to think you have a point. Maybe think of a way to word that comment so it does not turn you into a FANBOY!

1987 e30 BMW 325e which has been super reliable. After over 3 years, nothing has broken, never let me down.
Also 1985 e23 BMW 745i turbo. 16PSI of boost, Very fast, and a rarity here since these were never sold in the United States. Very comfortable, great handling for a heavy car. Lots of features. Heated seats, 3 psoition memory seats, power reclining back seats, water buffalo hide rather than regular cow hide leather, on board computer, lots of features for such an old car and blows the doors off of every 4 door I know of save for a M5, RS4 or AMG. Beat A GTO one day, but don't get me wrong I don't race it on the street, although I have had it to over 150

1 series is on the agenda when it gets here. great power, small package and most importantly what sets it apart is rear wheel drive! I think it will sell great to the enthusiast crowd who will no longer have to settle for a FWD car.

I've driven many others of course. I go to where my money is worth and no doubt the Lexus has won my decisions always.

Currently not doing that well financially but I would be looking into a newer Lexus model, probably the GS350.

IS300, with intake and exhaust done, lowered ( all done tastefully!) Thinking about doing a super or a turbo charger, or just keeping it stock for now. I like the new I35i and the E46 M3, and debate on whether to keep the IS and get one of those two models, or just save money and invest :)

I drive a leased A6 Quattro. The lease deal was unbeatable. My favorite practical vehicle is the Toyota FJ Cruiser but my wife hates it. If Mercedes brings the Vision C220 Bluetec to North America, I'll probably buy it but they better hurry as my lease is up in May 2008. If I became insane and financially irresponsible, I would order a Bentley Brooklands coupe. Somewhere in between all these extremes is the Audi A8L and Mercedes S-Class.

I curently drive a 2007 BMW 550i and a 2008 Lexus RX 350. In the last 3 years I have also owned a BMW 545i and a 2005 RX 330. Before buying the BMW I tested a BMW 330,a Mercedes E350 and a lexus GS 300--no comparison with with th BMW 5 series. As for reliability goes; the Lexus GS and RX is on par with the BMW. But, if you want real relibility you buy the Lexus ES or LS (read consumer reports). I will give up some reliability for the sheer fun of driving and no existing sedan matches a BMW in that category!

Just bought white 997 GT3 (new) 4 months ago. Lease on my 04 A4 is coming up in October. Thinking about keeping it for a daily driver. Financing would be about $400 a month.

It has given me no problems. Otherwise, might lease a 535xi or A6 3.2l. Depends on my financials in Oct.

commonsense... Depending on my financials, I will stick with $400 a month or go to $650 a month, because I'm also refinancing my mortgage to fund my second restaurant.

Before you call people a liar, you should find out a little more about why they say what they say. So please, I never call anyone a liar before I know facts. It makes idiots out of people.
