DD: Volvo. I want comfort on my commute!
Track: Golf. these handle well, plus ALL DEM APR MODS
Burn: Saab. I will be killed for doing this, but I have to. Also, don't hate me, but I find the GM-iness of the 9-3 to be annoying, and I do not find it to be the most visually appealing (Model that is suggested at least. A silver 5 door viggen would change that)
