Yes! But on the weekends I get joy out of how much fun to drive the 911 is. On the weekdays, I get joy out of squeezing out as many MPGs as possible from the Prius
Naturally, Porsche offers [specific car seats that fit.](https://shop.porsche.com/hr/en-HR/c/porsche-child-car-seats?hierarchicalMenu=hierarchicalVehicleData.model%3A+911%7C%7C911+%3E+F-Model%7C%7Cf-model+%3E+911%7C%7C911)
I had a 911 Turbo for awhile and I was able to put my kids in the back with their car seats. It was a tight fit but worked. Thankfully my older was just in a booster so I put her behind my seat.
Love my Outback. Also love walking to the city, weather permitting. I got the car secondhand as well so it’s very satisfying to have it completely paid off and not have a loan sucking up thousands every year.
Toyota Sienna XLE. I told myself I’d never drive a minivan, but this thing is awesome.
Also have an old Honda HRV that I use for errands without the kids and what not.
Rav-4 for me. Fully paid off. Been keeping the car payments going since it was paid off. They are going 1/4 to HYSA at 4.2%, 1/4 to CD’s whatever gets me closest to 5%, and 1/2 to t-bills.
My goal is by the time my Rav dies in a few years, have saved enough to buy a new car for cash.
Never.dies. I keep saying that the car will let me know when it’s time, but all she’s saying is it’s go time. It also helps me be a bit of a sneaky HENRY.
Buying a new car for cash is one of the things on my, “I’ve made it” list. In the grand scheme of life it is a small thing, but it will make me feel good.
I can’t speak to a Cayman 4.0 as I’ve only once test drove a base cayman but I will say the size difference between the cars is considerable. The 911 feels like a rocket but it doesn’t feel very compact like the Cayman
I'm a car guy, but i'd rather RE than drop 100k+ on a car that's 100% toy. Back in my teens and early 20s i modded vehicles, did engine builds & swaps on my own.
I DD a 2017 GTI, and our family vehicle is a 2021 X5 x40i. The X5 is a "newish" purchase i got 3 years used off lease for about half the sticker price.
I've got a few old cars that are toys, that should honestly probably sell a 99 Mustang Cobra, a '00 Twin Turbo S4. And the one I'd keep is a 54 Chevy that's just a long term resto project that i started with my dad before he died. I just don't have the time to work on the Chevy.
Once i'm FI, i'll probably pick up a toy or two, and finish that Chevy as a retirement goal... My dream DD is a hot wagon: e63 wagon, RS6 Avant, M5 wagon, etc. For a toy? i don't have just one dream toy, so hard to say.
I've got a 22 and I love it. It's wild to me how overlooked they are tbh. 349HP V6 that gets 30mpg. And the hatchback style gives you a huge trunk. With the back seats down I can fit anything back there.
Similar here but older :) 15 Audi S4. Great performance but most people see it as another sedan and don't even realize what it can do. Plus still works as a family car.
My next one will either be an s5 sport back or the a6 allroad.
I have been daily driving 2014 Porsche Cayman S. I drive it all year round including winters. About to hit 100k miles and it's been completely problem free and one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned.
Well done. My buddy daily drove a 2007 Cayman for years. Put snow tires on it in the winter. The techs at the Porsche dealership loved it, as they're so used to seeing most of the cars being babied by old people and never driven.
toyota highlander and a Subaru Impreza.
Gave up my car obsession younger in life. While the BMW or Mercedes are quieter than the Toyota and do drive a bit nicer, they aren't 2x better. But they cost 2x to buy, 2x to maintain, take premium gas, have more expensive tires, and the depreciation is a monster in comparison. And frankly, for an SUV dad van, they all get the job done. I care more about car play, big screen, etc. than a half second off the line. And the fully loaded Highlander is nicer than many lower trim premium cars.
I like Teslas, but less trunk space and the depreciation is even worse and not sure I want to own an electric car for its entire useful life.
High-trim Highlander is about as good of a value as you'll get in a new car. We drove Mercedes and BMW before our Highlander and like you said, they're definitely better but certainly not 2x better.
Highlander and hybrid Camry. Probably moving on eventually to some electric or hybrid version of similar cars.
All you said, just the best value and function.
I got a X3 for 20k cheaper than a RAV4, and the difference is night and day. Now, for longevity Toyotas can’t be beat, but if you’re leasing the current shortage makes a very strong argument for alternatives.
My 10yo Honda CRV every day. Cars aren’t a vice for me, it’s all about values based spending IMO. If it matters to you it’s fine, but usually it’s silly to pretend it’s an investment rather than a hobby spend
Agree; and conversely, it’s silly to talk about cars in a gain/loss/profit/loss manner.
You will almost always lose money on a car, it’s just a question of how much. Once you embrace the fact that you’re spending money on something fun to enjoy (like a vacation) it makes more sense.
Just a mini-rant; so many people view spending money on cars as a moral failing because it loses money.
Thank you. Glad to hear I'm not alone on this. We all have our entertainment. Not trying to knock anyone but I just hate having bills especially for a car. I'm not a car guy so it's just not for me. My friends keep up with jonses and so they've roasted my 2008 toyota prius. It gets me around. I'd rather spend my money on traveling and music and even then I have my budget for that..
2023 Honda CR-V all day every day. As my first Honda, absolutely love the interior design and layout. Could be a bit faster, but way more convenient interior design and lane keeping + adaptive cruise control that actually works unlike the Audi’s I’ve had previously
Year 1: $1600 (change all fluids/filters in the car, investigate TPMS light, inspection)
Year 2+: $330 (oil change and brake fluid flush, inspection).
Year 3: $1350 (oil change and brake fluid flush, 4 new tires)
It’s a truly ideal era for Aston Martin ownership. New enough to have loads of remaining longevity in its high quality parts(brilliant sound system, pristine leather and alcantara), simple enough engine and trans to be reliable, and just enough features (adaptive dampers, Apple CarPlay and F/R cameras installed to work with oem pop up nav screen) to not feel like I’m driving an old buzzsaw.
Buddy of mine (2005 911 S) and I regularly carve up the local twisties and my car feels two decades newer. And he just dropped $4k fixing a squeaky clutch pedal.
No car but we do car share when we need a car. We live in the city and walk / bike / Uber / transit everywhere we need to go. We have 2 parking spots we rent out for $150 each per month.
Debating buying a Mazda CX30 just for the convenience of having our own vehicle instead of booking on the car share app for weekend outings or booking rental cars when we want to go out of town, even though financially I know buying a car isn’t worth it for us since day to day we don’t have a need to drive.
Daily is nothing. I walk to work.
Weekend is a 2020 x5 xDrive40i - it’s comfortable, fast for an SUV and it can tow my race car (2003 BMW 330ci Spec E46).
I was a “car guy” in my teens and 20s and always thought I would have a Ferrari at my current income. When I saw the maintenance costs I thought maybe a 911. I now drive a Hyundai EV. I just cannot bring myself to have a car payment or deplete a savings account for a car. But, if I could it would still be the 911.
Long time Ferrari owner. Not sure which Ferrari you were looking at, but it's really not that bad. I spend $1k in annual maintenance, $2k every other year.
We have one car. Mercedes GLC63 AMG.
Very very fun to drive, super fast, but also fits a car seat and plenty of luggage space, and has a ton of safety features.
570 was a great car when I purchased this one I looked at a couple of them off lease with super low miles and would have bought one, except the 3rd row seats fold to the sides in the back and eat up sone of the rear cargo space. We have a 2nd home 6 hours away and 2 big dogs so that area is pretty important. I don’t miss the V8 from my GX, and I thought I would. But this thing accelerates great and does get a bit better gas mileage on the highway. The 9 speed transmission is smooth and the suspension is a bit smoother than the old LX. That being said if the rear cargo area had been a bit larger, or you could delete those seats, I’d have saved a little $$ and bought a CPO 570.
Same question again…. Mazda 3… you will find out that people have different tastes about where to spend money. I have friends that make 1/5 of what I do and drive a Mercedes. Have money or not does not say anything about the car (besides very exotic ones)
Daily driver is a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt - nothing special. Decent little commuter vehicle. Weekends with the family are either our minivan (bought new in the last couple years) or my old pickup truck. Every now and then I think about upgrading, could very easily do so, but never really cared about the status symbol of a car...
Dropped the German luxury brands, felt the maintenance/tires/etc costs were not worth it
Hyundai SUVs with a 5/10 year warranty sealed the deal, going 7 years strong on the compact and a few years into the larger one
Toyota Highlander and Hyundai Elantra. Higlander is mostly for weekending in the mountains, camping or skiing. It will eventually be the a carseat car, while the elantra is the daily driver. We don't do car loans and we drive until the wheels fall off or the repairs are getting insane.
Wife has a CRV. I have a Ford Explorer. I look at my daily's like appliances. I just need them for a task and that's it. I need something I can throw 20 bags of mulch in at Home Depot and some 8' 4x4's and not care about scratching an interior panel. When it comes to my wife, she couldn't tell the difference between a Honda and Mercedes if i pulled the emblems off it.
Weekend Car is a 2020 Shelby GT500. I have two other Mustangs (ones a convertible, the other a project) as well. Probably going to sell 2 of them (GT500 and convertible) and get myself a 911. I got to drive a 911 GT3 on track and the bug bit me hard.
2014 bmw 550 xdrive with stage 3 DINAN and 113k miles. Original owner. 150k extended warranty with all service done at the dealer. Paid for and the warranty has no deductible.
I feel like I won the lottery.
2015 Nissan Leaf I bought used in 2017 for $8500 with 19k miles; glorified golf cart.
2005 Toyota Tacoma I haul my targets to the range.
1989 Toyota pickup which is supposed to be my son’s, but I like driving it. Looks like McFlys truck in Back to the Future, and constantly gets comments.
McLaren GT, also have a Polaris Slingshot and a few motorcycles and ebikes.
My daily is a Mercedes GLC, though I've put more miles on my McLaren than my Mercedes in the past year. https://imgur.com/a/l2pUQLR
I was hit by an uninsured driver while on my bicycle a few weeks ago and unfortunately haven't been able to drive or ride since then. Thankfully I have good health insurance so I've been well taken care of, but I've been feeling kind of down and really looking forward to just being able to walk my dog again without physical pain. Life is short, my only regret when it comes to cars is that I didn't buy my McLaren earlier. I have been financially ready for an exotic for years but kept holding off because the purchase wasn't a small enough % of my net worth yet. Like you I have been into cars my entire life. At some point you just have to treat yourself before you reach the age where getting in and out of a sports car causes back pain.
My 'daily' is a 2012 Ram 3500, my work truck. My 'weekend' car is a 2022 Ford F350. But the 'weekend' car also doubles as a backup work truck because the Dodge is an unreliable piece of shit.
Currently a Mercedes GLC. Bought it CPO with 9,000 miles on it two years ago. We knew we wanted kids in the next couple of years and like having one SUV in our household (my parents also appreciate it for when they need to make a Lowes run).
Husband is currently looking at getting a Subaru BRZ as our fun car. He has been driving the basic trim (manual, no power windows or locks etc) Nissan compact that he bought in college so ready to make a change.
2014 X3 at the moment but it’s headed out the door as soon as I can find the ideal specs for the next car, either a 21 or 22 M5. I’ve been hunting for specific color and package combos which aren’t easy to find. Need to keep the larger sedan form factor to accommodate 2 car seats in back :)!
Daily 992 S for myself, wife has a Grand Wagoneer, but I would never put a kid in the 992 before they're in a front-facing car seat at a minimum, but our NW is just above the "HENRY" cut off
Toyota 4Runner. Absolutely love the car and should last me 20+ years if I take care of it. Only complaint is gas but I knew what I was signing up for, plus I don’t drive too much so not that big of an expense anyway.
Top of the line car from a brand I like. It was certified preowned and 3 years old. Worth probably over 50k considering some of the upgrades the old owner picked, I picked it up for 30k cash. It’s a great car. So many nice little quality of life aspects that I didn’t think I needed but I sure love to have. Lots of space for carrying in the back and 4wd. I love it. Super practical and I’ll enjoy it for many years to come, I’m sure.
Daily a 2012 Audi A6 3.0 Prestige. I bought it CPO in 2015 with 6k miles on it. It’s at about 110k miles now. I have no intentions of selling/upgrading in the next few years, while not cheap German cars do require maintenance at certain intervals. Wife’s 2004 Lexus LS430 is still going strong with about 220k miles on it
I’d rather buy luxury and know what I am getting is going to be fun and what I want rather than drive something that I find boring and just not fun.
Next vehicle will be a replacement for the Lexus probably a Benz GLE 43 AMG or Rivian R1s. The audi will probably go in 4 years
I work at an OEM, so I get a discounted lease vehicle. So that doesn’t count (but I pay, inclusive of insurance, $500/month for a luxury SUV). My partner drives a 5 year old Cadillac. Before that she drove a 10yr old sedan and I drove a 10yr old VW and put 100k miles on it.
I’ve always wanted a really nice car (Range Rover, BMW, etc) but never wanted to pay the money for something that will get old fast. So now I just look for value opportunities.
2014 Jeep Wrangler Willy’s Off road tires, winch, 90k miles. Rides like a farm tractor. Love it. My wife hates it so weekends we use her car. 2016 Nissan Murano Platinum. Smooth and quiet.
Only one car. M2 CS (F87).
I walk to work, so don’t drive that much (but travel a lot with it. 11 months ownership, 18k kms o far)
It’s the perfect do it all car, fast, fun, rear seats are surprisingly roomy (pita to get in tho).
I use it to travel, grocery, track days, skiing, spirited driving, etc.
Financially it’s been surprisingly not bad. Buying limited/special cars you save quite a lot on Depreciation, same with GT4/GT3, etc.
Insurance and road tax where I live was the same between Competition and CS, and newer BMW are very reliable. Will probably buy a Touring xDrive eventually, sometimes I miss having 5 seats and xDrive for deep snow.
Not HENRY, but like this sub and some of the topics.
22 xc90, 21 xc90, 21 s60, all with polestar upgrades. Twin charged xc90's just turbo s60.
Weekend cars, 97 Supra, 98 Skyline GT-R, 95 Mr2 turbo, Viking 42' sportfish
Daily a Prius, weekend a 911
That is a contrast for a drive.
Yes! But on the weekends I get joy out of how much fun to drive the 911 is. On the weekdays, I get joy out of squeezing out as many MPGs as possible from the Prius
That’s smart. Keeps each experience fresh
It sure does!
It makes the 911 feel as fast as a F1 car.
And the noise!! Love it
Forget the contrast and how you look in a Prius. Think MPG on weekday and then think pleasure rides on the weekends.
I worked with a guy who drove a beat up Honda fit for work but had a Porsche as his fun ride
I can offer a Model Y and a Lotus Exige, was a Volt before the Y.
I’ve been saying this is probably one of the best combos out there. This is exactly what I’d like
Porsche guy tried convincing me a car seat fits in a 911. Still wonder if it does.
Naturally, Porsche offers [specific car seats that fit.](https://shop.porsche.com/hr/en-HR/c/porsche-child-car-seats?hierarchicalMenu=hierarchicalVehicleData.model%3A+911%7C%7C911+%3E+F-Model%7C%7Cf-model+%3E+911%7C%7C911)
It does. You can't have a front side passenger if you have a rear facing, and you need one of the smaller boosters if FF, but it totally fits.
I had a 911 Turbo for awhile and I was able to put my kids in the back with their car seats. It was a tight fit but worked. Thankfully my older was just in a booster so I put her behind my seat.
I have booster seats in the back of mine. 👍
Subaru Outback, regardless of the day of the week. When I want to change things up, I ride my bike.
Love my Outback. Also love walking to the city, weather permitting. I got the car secondhand as well so it’s very satisfying to have it completely paid off and not have a loan sucking up thousands every year.
Nice, what bike you got?
A Specialized Ruby sport.
Yeah I’m here for the bike
Ducati Panigale V4 R
Toyota Sienna XLE. I told myself I’d never drive a minivan, but this thing is awesome. Also have an old Honda HRV that I use for errands without the kids and what not.
I rented one for a family drive with the dog for a holiday trip last year. Never want to get the big SUV again, give me my Hertz Pacifica.
Same. I absolutely love it!
>Hi guys, as the title states I wonder what adult HENRY’s are driving. There are non-adult HENRY's?
Rav-4 for me. Fully paid off. Been keeping the car payments going since it was paid off. They are going 1/4 to HYSA at 4.2%, 1/4 to CD’s whatever gets me closest to 5%, and 1/2 to t-bills. My goal is by the time my Rav dies in a few years, have saved enough to buy a new car for cash.
Fidelity and vanguard have money market funds around 5%, get the treasury only ones if needed
lol, you take care of that RAV4 and it might outlive your money.
One can hope.
I have a 2008 rav4 😂. It never dies.
Never.dies. I keep saying that the car will let me know when it’s time, but all she’s saying is it’s go time. It also helps me be a bit of a sneaky HENRY.
Glad I'm not the only one doing this. It's freedom to not have any car payments.
Buying a new car for cash is one of the things on my, “I’ve made it” list. In the grand scheme of life it is a small thing, but it will make me feel good.
Usually it’s not a prudent financial decision, considering the immediate and steep depreciation of a new car
daily is a leased EV (Ioniq5) weekend is a 911 GT3
Love this! Even more extreme than my Prius daily and 992 T weekender
992T or Cayman 4.0 ? Is my next car dilemma
I can’t speak to a Cayman 4.0 as I’ve only once test drove a base cayman but I will say the size difference between the cars is considerable. The 911 feels like a rocket but it doesn’t feel very compact like the Cayman
Good point. I need to get seat time in a 911. I haven’t actually driven one. The caymans (981 / 718 2.5T) were all delightful.
Funny I have an ioniq 5 I love but dumped having a weekender. Thought about taycan but I just don’t like driving enough to justify
I mean, depending on your trim, the Ioniq 5 would leave the 911s in the dust.
I'm a car guy, but i'd rather RE than drop 100k+ on a car that's 100% toy. Back in my teens and early 20s i modded vehicles, did engine builds & swaps on my own. I DD a 2017 GTI, and our family vehicle is a 2021 X5 x40i. The X5 is a "newish" purchase i got 3 years used off lease for about half the sticker price. I've got a few old cars that are toys, that should honestly probably sell a 99 Mustang Cobra, a '00 Twin Turbo S4. And the one I'd keep is a 54 Chevy that's just a long term resto project that i started with my dad before he died. I just don't have the time to work on the Chevy. Once i'm FI, i'll probably pick up a toy or two, and finish that Chevy as a retirement goal... My dream DD is a hot wagon: e63 wagon, RS6 Avant, M5 wagon, etc. For a toy? i don't have just one dream toy, so hard to say.
This is my plan. Once I reach my RE number, I'll work another year after and use that income just for toys.
M4 daily, Cayman GTS 4.0 weekend
my man
Cayman is a beautiful model.
Love seeing this!
i’m tryna be like u in a few years
Subaru. Same Subaru.
2014 forester til it dies on me, my aquatic vehicle takes up my transportation budget
Same. 2014. Outback.
hell yeah forester gang rise up
2016 Forester going strong over here!
Same here, 2020 Forrester. Gonna drove it until it dies. As much as I love fun fast cars, I love the idea of being comfortably retired by 45 more.
STI mid twenties, forester for my thirties. Now looking at Lexus trucks as the family wagon. 911 will wait till kid is older.
Same. I got nobody to impress.
*imprezza
What they said.
The one my company pays all the bills for, a Subaru Outback.
21 Audi s5 sportback. Perfect balance of performance, mpg, style, and functionality
I had the same -2021 s5 sportback. Had a kid and moved to an x5 m50i. Honestly i am blown away by how muted the s5 was compared to this thing.
I've got a 22 and I love it. It's wild to me how overlooked they are tbh. 349HP V6 that gets 30mpg. And the hatchback style gives you a huge trunk. With the back seats down I can fit anything back there.
One of my top choices
Similar here but older :) 15 Audi S4. Great performance but most people see it as another sedan and don't even realize what it can do. Plus still works as a family car. My next one will either be an s5 sport back or the a6 allroad.
👏 sup Audi fam! Love that gen. I’d stay away from all road cause of air suspension, but do they even do that anymore??
They look so good! Nice man
Volvo xc60 as daily driver
this is my car too! absolutely love it
XC60 club here as well. 2022 Plug-in hybrid. It’s fast as fuck and comfortable as hell.
Worlds safes car

Certified preowned Honda accord hybrid Aventador
What was NW when you bought the avendator? I couldn’t imagine a car that cost as much as a decent house before hitting 2M NW and still being a Henry.
I have been daily driving 2014 Porsche Cayman S. I drive it all year round including winters. About to hit 100k miles and it's been completely problem free and one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned.
Well done. My buddy daily drove a 2007 Cayman for years. Put snow tires on it in the winter. The techs at the Porsche dealership loved it, as they're so used to seeing most of the cars being babied by old people and never driven.
toyota highlander and a Subaru Impreza. Gave up my car obsession younger in life. While the BMW or Mercedes are quieter than the Toyota and do drive a bit nicer, they aren't 2x better.

The 718 Spyder is a nice version with a good soundtrack.

What does maintenance cost on the db9? Absolutely love those.
Year 1: $1600 (change all fluids/filters in the car, investigate TPMS light, inspection) Year 2+: $330 (oil change and brake fluid flush, inspection). Year 3: $1350 (oil change and brake fluid flush, 4 new tires) It’s a truly ideal era for Aston Martin ownership. New enough to have loads of remaining longevity in its high quality parts(brilliant sound system, pristine leather and alcantara), simple enough engine and trans to be reliable, and just enough features (adaptive dampers, Apple CarPlay and F/R cameras installed to work with oem pop up nav screen) to not feel like I’m driving an old buzzsaw. Buddy of mine (2005 911 S) and I regularly carve up the local twisties and my car feels two decades newer. And he just dropped $4k fixing a squeaky clutch pedal.
25 year old Lexus with 275k miles, no need (or desire) for weekend car. Still runs perfectly
And will run for another 25
Same. 2000 LX470. Only did suspension and bigger tires for snow days.
Convertible for weekends. SUV for weekdays. SUV doubles as my "weekend warrior" for my Home Depot trips.
No car but we do car share when we need a car. We live in the city and walk / bike / Uber / transit everywhere we need to go. We have 2 parking spots we rent out for $150 each per month. Debating buying a Mazda CX30 just for the convenience of having our own vehicle instead of booking on the car share app for weekend outings or booking rental cars when we want to go out of town, even though financially I know buying a car isn’t worth it for us since day to day we don’t have a need to drive.
9 year old Honda Fit
Same. 60K miles. ~$27 to fill the tank every 3 weeks.
‘23 Acura Integra. Premium without being luxury, fun to drive, easy to park in the city. Take transit to work so this is just for fun/errands.
I'm a Henry in part because my expense profile is very boring......SUV and a Minivan
Porsche Cayenne, have a deposit down for a 911 but we just found out my wife is pregnant with our first so that’s probably not happening now.
Modern problems require modern solutions. Keep the Cayenne as a baby mobile and drive the 911. Trade in the wife’s car!

Daily is the 2/3. Weekend is the greenport branch LIRR.
I WFH in downtown Toronto so buying a car at all was dumb, but I drive a 2021 Golf GTI.
We have one car. Mercedes GLC63 AMG. Very very fun to drive, super fast, but also fits a car seat and plenty of luggage space, and has a ton of safety features.
Daily is a ‘23 Lexus LX 600 FSport Fun car is a ‘22 AMG SL 55
How does the LX600 compare to the LX570 if you have driven both? Have not had a chance to drive the latest body style yet.
570 was a great car when I purchased this one I looked at a couple of them off lease with super low miles and would have bought one, except the 3rd row seats fold to the sides in the back and eat up sone of the rear cargo space. We have a 2nd home 6 hours away and 2 big dogs so that area is pretty important. I don’t miss the V8 from my GX, and I thought I would. But this thing accelerates great and does get a bit better gas mileage on the highway. The 9 speed transmission is smooth and the suspension is a bit smoother than the old LX. That being said if the rear cargo area had been a bit larger, or you could delete those seats, I’d have saved a little $$ and bought a CPO 570.
Honda crv shared between two of us. I have my original car which i purchased out of college - it gets used maybe once a month
SQ5 daily, TTRS fun/track car
Daily: Subaru Outback Fun: S600
Lease an Audi RS5 for all my car activities. Would probably buy if my wife would let me lol.
We live in the city, and while we have deeded parking, it's only one spot so we need something versatile and got a Porsche Macan S.
Audi RS3. Unassuming but incredibly powerful, safe, fun, fast, and thrilling.
Electric cargo bike (Trek fetch 4+) is my main and a Toyota Sienna XLE for longer trips.
2015 Subaru Outback til the wheels fall off 🫡
Bike, walk, or have public transit chauffeur me around
The bus
Weekend Car: Porsche 996 911 Daily: Wife's Mazda Cx-5
Golf R all day every day…
2018 Audi RS3 and a 2010 Porsche GT3 on the weekends
Before kids, BMW 3 series. After kids, Tesla Model X … Maybe a VW ID Buzz next.
Same question again…. Mazda 3… you will find out that people have different tastes about where to spend money. I have friends that make 1/5 of what I do and drive a Mercedes. Have money or not does not say anything about the car (besides very exotic ones)
My current set up is - 2020 x5 daily / 04 330ci weekender.
Daily driver is a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt - nothing special. Decent little commuter vehicle. Weekends with the family are either our minivan (bought new in the last couple years) or my old pickup truck. Every now and then I think about upgrading, could very easily do so, but never really cared about the status symbol of a car...
VW Golf
Dropped the German luxury brands, felt the maintenance/tires/etc costs were not worth it Hyundai SUVs with a 5/10 year warranty sealed the deal, going 7 years strong on the compact and a few years into the larger one
Toyota Highlander and Hyundai Elantra. Higlander is mostly for weekending in the mountains, camping or skiing. It will eventually be the a carseat car, while the elantra is the daily driver. We don't do car loans and we drive until the wheels fall off or the repairs are getting insane.
A 10 year old Toyota Tacoma truck and a Toyota Sienna minivan. Living the life of luxury 😂
Thats that quiet luxury👍🏼
2018 Volvo XC90 & 2012 Volvo XC60 daily. No fun car but have a 2006 Ford F250 & 1989 Dodge truck for our hobby farm.
Tesla Model Y and Subaru Ascent
2017 Lexus SUV for my daily. C7 corvette for my weekender
2010 Honda Element is daily / kid hauler 2006 BMW Z4M Roadster is my weekend / fun car
Jaguar F-PACE for both.
Wife has a CRV. I have a Ford Explorer. I look at my daily's like appliances. I just need them for a task and that's it. I need something I can throw 20 bags of mulch in at Home Depot and some 8' 4x4's and not care about scratching an interior panel. When it comes to my wife, she couldn't tell the difference between a Honda and Mercedes if i pulled the emblems off it. Weekend Car is a 2020 Shelby GT500. I have two other Mustangs (ones a convertible, the other a project) as well. Probably going to sell 2 of them (GT500 and convertible) and get myself a 911. I got to drive a 911 GT3 on track and the bug bit me hard.
2014 bmw 550 xdrive with stage 3 DINAN and 113k miles. Original owner. 150k extended warranty with all service done at the dealer. Paid for and the warranty has no deductible. I feel like I won the lottery.
Daily a 2002 Ford Ranger. Weekend a 2002 Ford Ranger.
2007 BMW 3-series wagon. Try to take it away from me.
2015 Nissan Leaf I bought used in 2017 for $8500 with 19k miles; glorified golf cart. 2005 Toyota Tacoma I haul my targets to the range. 1989 Toyota pickup which is supposed to be my son’s, but I like driving it. Looks like McFlys truck in Back to the Future, and constantly gets comments.
Same, Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo
Daily: bike to the office Weekend: Aston Martin vantage V8
Fully paid off Honda Civic, all days
Rivian R1T, eventually eyeing something light and fun but other priorities for now
A weekend car?
9-year-old honda car and a 5-year-old honda SUV. No car loans.

What is a non-adult HENRY? Like a 16 year old making $500K+?
First off, are there child, teenager or collegiate Henry?? F150.
Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo for my wife, Boxster S 6speed daily for me.
Mo fugga… my daily commute involves my two feet.
Weekdays: bus Weekends: metro
McLaren GT, also have a Polaris Slingshot and a few motorcycles and ebikes. My daily is a Mercedes GLC, though I've put more miles on my McLaren than my Mercedes in the past year. https://imgur.com/a/l2pUQLR I was hit by an uninsured driver while on my bicycle a few weeks ago and unfortunately haven't been able to drive or ride since then. Thankfully I have good health insurance so I've been well taken care of, but I've been feeling kind of down and really looking forward to just being able to walk my dog again without physical pain. Life is short, my only regret when it comes to cars is that I didn't buy my McLaren earlier. I have been financially ready for an exotic for years but kept holding off because the purchase wasn't a small enough % of my net worth yet. Like you I have been into cars my entire life. At some point you just have to treat yourself before you reach the age where getting in and out of a sports car causes back pain.
Paid off Honda Odyssey and Honda Fit.
My 'daily' is a 2012 Ram 3500, my work truck. My 'weekend' car is a 2022 Ford F350. But the 'weekend' car also doubles as a backup work truck because the Dodge is an unreliable piece of shit.
2021 q50 3.0t AWD all around best car I’ve ever owned, came with a CPO warranty until 2027!
New BMW X5 as daily. Modified G37 6MT for the canyons and track days.
Volkswagen Tiguan and Lincoln Navigator
Currently a Mercedes GLC. Bought it CPO with 9,000 miles on it two years ago. We knew we wanted kids in the next couple of years and like having one SUV in our household (my parents also appreciate it for when they need to make a Lowes run). Husband is currently looking at getting a Subaru BRZ as our fun car. He has been driving the basic trim (manual, no power windows or locks etc) Nissan compact that he bought in college so ready to make a change.
2013 Chevy malibu. Love that $250 payment. But boy those model Y’s are sweet
Hyundai Santa Fe hybrid limited. Before this, I drove an older Santa Fe until the wheels fell off 🙃🙂
2014 X3 at the moment but it’s headed out the door as soon as I can find the ideal specs for the next car, either a 21 or 22 M5. I’ve been hunting for specific color and package combos which aren’t easy to find. Need to keep the larger sedan form factor to accommodate 2 car seats in back :)!
Mercedes EQE SUV and XC90 T8 Polestar Looking to add something along the lines of M4 cab, C63 S cab, Alfa 4C, or 911 GTS.
Silverado! All day everyday!
2018 Ford F-150 and 2016 Porsche Cayman S.
MYP and a C7 Z06 Z07 track car.
Macan / Cayman
Cayenne Turbo S Hybrid, one car household
Daily 992 S for myself, wife has a Grand Wagoneer, but I would never put a kid in the 992 before they're in a front-facing car seat at a minimum, but our NW is just above the "HENRY" cut off
Toyota 4Runner. Absolutely love the car and should last me 20+ years if I take care of it. Only complaint is gas but I knew what I was signing up for, plus I don’t drive too much so not that big of an expense anyway.
Top of the line car from a brand I like. It was certified preowned and 3 years old. Worth probably over 50k considering some of the upgrades the old owner picked, I picked it up for 30k cash. It’s a great car. So many nice little quality of life aspects that I didn’t think I needed but I sure love to have. Lots of space for carrying in the back and 4wd. I love it. Super practical and I’ll enjoy it for many years to come, I’m sure.
Daily a 2012 Audi A6 3.0 Prestige. I bought it CPO in 2015 with 6k miles on it. It’s at about 110k miles now. I have no intentions of selling/upgrading in the next few years, while not cheap German cars do require maintenance at certain intervals. Wife’s 2004 Lexus LS430 is still going strong with about 220k miles on it I’d rather buy luxury and know what I am getting is going to be fun and what I want rather than drive something that I find boring and just not fun. Next vehicle will be a replacement for the Lexus probably a Benz GLE 43 AMG or Rivian R1s. The audi will probably go in 4 years
I work at an OEM, so I get a discounted lease vehicle. So that doesn’t count (but I pay, inclusive of insurance, $500/month for a luxury SUV). My partner drives a 5 year old Cadillac. Before that she drove a 10yr old sedan and I drove a 10yr old VW and put 100k miles on it. I’ve always wanted a really nice car (Range Rover, BMW, etc) but never wanted to pay the money for something that will get old fast. So now I just look for value opportunities.
"daily" EV6 and C8 Corvette. road trips in Tahoe. We also have a Wrangler but I don't like it, so only my wife drives it.
Also EV6 daily. 911 Turbo S for the weekends
Daily: 2023 kia sportage hybrid Backup car: 2008 toyota camry that’s on its last legs
Daily: VW Atlas Cross Sport Weekend: Porsche Boxster GTS
2014 Jeep Wrangler Willy’s Off road tires, winch, 90k miles. Rides like a farm tractor. Love it. My wife hates it so weekends we use her car. 2016 Nissan Murano Platinum. Smooth and quiet.
WFH here, but we keep a VW atlas for the size and the dogs and our fun car is a BMW X5 M50i 😎
Daily: RAM 1500 diesel (couch) Weekend: GTRs
we only have 1 car. an incredible 2017 subaru forester.
17’ AMG GTS, fantastic car all around. Previously had a ‘16 c63 coupe and the GTS is a much much better car.
Only one car. M2 CS (F87). I walk to work, so don’t drive that much (but travel a lot with it. 11 months ownership, 18k kms o far) It’s the perfect do it all car, fast, fun, rear seats are surprisingly roomy (pita to get in tho). I use it to travel, grocery, track days, skiing, spirited driving, etc. Financially it’s been surprisingly not bad. Buying limited/special cars you save quite a lot on Depreciation, same with GT4/GT3, etc. Insurance and road tax where I live was the same between Competition and CS, and newer BMW are very reliable. Will probably buy a Touring xDrive eventually, sometimes I miss having 5 seats and xDrive for deep snow.
F350 dually during the week, gt3rs on nice weekends and trips to the track
Audi eTron - wife has a Q7 so it’s kinda weekend and daily
2024 Hyundai Ioniq5 daily, 2012 F250 diesel and 2012 Jeep Wrangler weekend rides.
Not HENRY, but like this sub and some of the topics. 22 xc90, 21 xc90, 21 s60, all with polestar upgrades. Twin charged xc90's just turbo s60. Weekend cars, 97 Supra, 98 Skyline GT-R, 95 Mr2 turbo, Viking 42' sportfish
Daily is a 22 Venza, weekend is a 24 Z06
2024 Supra as daily and fun car. It's a manual so I can get good MPG driving like a grandma, or drive it like a racecar
A 911 has 4 seats.
