Commute is done by a Toyota Corolla or a Toyota RAV4. Nothing extraordinary.
For work I get pushed pulled around on a 100k bbls barge by an old school ocean going tugboat. These things have some torque:)

I own a gold Day Date 118238 and drive a 2013 white Porsche Panamera S but thinking of selling it and getting a 2015 black GMC Denali due to having a 3 year old and a second child due in June.

I have a very long and steep drive way. Its paved but in the winter we cant get anything but AWD cars up it. So that fastest car we could find was a 335ix Msport for me. Wifes drives a x3 335. Maybe we should have a thread does your Home match your rolex. Who's got a dedicated home theater?

Commute beater is no match, but I love it and don't care.

SEAT Leon Cupra R 210bhp (mk1 2003), petrol turbo charged, a rebadged Audi S3 1.8T.

It's the exact opposite of my watches, about as electronic as it gets.

I drive an 11 Honda Fit. We haul around 2 dogs frequently and there is no sense in them messing up a nice interior. I love that it was cheap and cheap to own. When our puppy gets a little older/calms down, I may upgrade.

Nope, my car is actually quite a heavier than my watch.

On a serious note. Most cars will end up depreciating to the point where it's worthless (at least this is what I tell myself to get rid of the new car itch)

Nope. Not a balance. But then again neither is the Hobie fishing kayak that I lug around on the Prius roof racks.

Ha ha ha, nope, not a balance.

The thing is, she'll probably last as long as my Rolex! The oil spots underneath aren't hers.

Well I think so but I think my non Rolex has a slightly better balance with the car based on the fact they share the same name !


Once I get my Daytona C then my Rolex and car will be in perfect harmony

A belter of a car! (That's good!) my wife had one for a couple of years before we had to sell it.

I've had a couple of Alfa's but now in a 2016 Golf GTI Autobahn. Not really my choice unfortunately but it does the job!
