Default What do you see yourself driving when you're 65?

Thread title says it all.

Coupe/Roadster/Sedan/Truck/SUV/Vintage/Solar/Hovercar/Jetpack/Bus/Bicycle/By Foot/Armageddon By Then

How old are you now? What year will it be when you're 65?

Do you think you'll still have an S tucked away somewhere in your garage then? Will it be your 67' Mustang?

Every once in a while you need to take a break and talk about life, imagination, and driving in general, just to get away from all the technical stuff, and sometimes reality.

Please keep it positive.

Have a great night!

Whatever the equivalent is of today's GTR or NSX.

We will probably have 600 hp electric cars by then lol.

Before the S, my daily driver was a Honda 919. Great performance*, great fun, very comfy for a bike. After 3 years of DD, it was a bit too much (I'm 30).

Now I drive the S. I am sure at some point the S will become too much. (stiff suspension, loud)

At age 65, I hope I will not be driving a flashy car. I always feel bad when I see senior citizens in sport cars... German car cause more trouble than fun in the long run. Probably a nice handling 4-door Acura or Infiniti... Infiniti is less refined, but Nissan/Infiniti seats feel great. By the way, SH-AWD Acuras corner and handle great.

* 0-60mph under 3 sec. and still in first gear...

My wife will have made us rich by then, so an Aston Martin if I still "feel young." Maybe a Maserati or top-end Cadillac if I don't.

i'll be piloting some sort of hovercraft, or carrying with me some lil gadget that teleports me to places.

if we still have the market we have today in 43 years i'll be driving a ZR1 and a e55amg for daily.

There won't be any natural gas or oil for private use by the time I'm 65. I might be able to get away with a decent motorcycle. I'd be fine driving an LS460.
