I had Mercedes and BMWs in the past. They are really nice, fun to drive and make you feel important for a week or at least like you are keeping up with the Joneses (especially in business) but cars are such a waste of money. Mostly my wife would drive them anyways because I always either needed to or preferred to drive my work van. I would really only take the car occasionally when I had meetings or if I was visiting customers. A few months before I sold my business, we were having problems with the transmission on our BMW X3 and I didn't want to pay thousands to fix it so I sold it as is to a mechanic I know and we bought a used Nissan Rogue which we have been using ever since. It was my wife's idea to buy the Rogue instead of another "luxury" brand.
If I had no concern for setting money ablaze on a car and regretting not directing that fiat to bitcoin I would probably buy a Porsche Cayenne. Has to be an SUV because my dream is not to drive around by myself in some super car but to drive in style with my family.
preferred to drive my work van
Woo another van guy!

I spec'd out a RR Cullinan for fun a few weeks ago. I'm a very binary person. If I'm going luxury, I want to go all the way.

The first van we had for our business was such a piece of junk but for some reason I still liked it. It was so useful for transporting stuff. We eventually bought newer, nicer ones with the company decals on the side and all the bells and whistles but I have so many fond and not so fond memories of grinding in that first piece of junk, rusted van.
Rolls? SN must be working on another funding round. Haha

Vans are true all purpose vehicles. We have a Toyota minivan I bought used a few years ago. All the seats come out and with seats we can haul two families in it. I've hauled full 8'x4' lumber in it, we've moved homes using it exclusively. We mostly use its cabin for storage now though lol.

I had Mercedes and BMWs in the past. FIAT indulgences is what they are. Best brands for regular cars.. I have trouble in choosing one from those 2..
