Icon7 Rolex and cars (For all the gear heads)

So I started a thread at BMW M3 forum to get a feeling of what the members like to wear for watch while driving. The majority is Rolex all the way. Lot's of Subs.
We all have Rolex watches here I suppose. So, what kind of car you drive?

Mine: 2002 BMW M3 and a 2003 VW W8

I got a new company car on Friday, a 2008 Lexus RX 400h. I had a RX 330 on a prior lease but this hybrid is so cool. Surprisingly throaty and peppy when you step on it and kick in both the gas engine and electric motor! The GMT IIc goes real nice with the light grey leather and black stained maple trim!

I have the same vehicle. I just got the 08 model at Christmas time. I paid cash for mine so hope to have it for many years. I have the gray exterior with black interior, Mark Levinson sound system, DVD Navigation and every whistle and bang imaginable. With tax it was just over $60 K but an awesome vehicle. I've also had three others; one 300 and two 330's. Obviously I like them.

Good luck with yours. It is a peppy vehicle and does go well with the TT GMT-Master IIc that I have.

Well I don't really drive it, but some of the cars on the 6 train are made by Kawasaki. Does that count? Before moving to Gotham, I had a 2003 100th Anniversary HD Fatboy, a 2000 Exploder, and wifey drove 1 1991 MB 350 SDL. Can't wait to move back to the real world where I get to drive.

It's yellow & blk and everybody keeps calling it Bumble Bee (Transformers)

Well, I drive what ever is on the lot at any given time with a 1/2 tank of gas in it as a daily vehicle.

My wife drives a '06 Dodge Magnum Wagon her company supplies.

I had this beautiful RoadKing till some yutz dropped a 6' chunk of wood in front of me while I was going 70 MPH and put me in the hospital for 3 weeks two summers ago. Didn't look like this when the insurance company sold it off for parts.



I also keep this 2004 Suburban at the house to haul the kids, snowmobiles, boats and trips to Costco.



My summer toy!
