What kind of car do you drive? Whats your career? (Medical Field)

Research scientist for a public university. I drive a Toyota Yaris L (base model). As I understand, this is the cheapest car Toyota makes for the U.S. market. It's functional and reliable. I can afford much more car, but I'd rather invest that money.

I drive a 1991 Pontiac Grand Am. Between student loans and insurance, this is all I can afford as a doctor in the U.S.

2013 Toyota Tacoma with an Acces cab. I'm in IT.

Thats a pretty nice. I hope turns out well for you in the future. Im probably gonna end up in the same condition except im gonna go to a community college first then transfer to lower my debt. $4000 for the first 2 years.

2012 GMC Yukon XLT - IS System Manager at a major semiconductor company.

*A co-worker in my office went through the same performance car phase - he had a custom Mustang, got a lot of speeding tickets then bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee for its practicality and drove it for 12 years. He just bought a Ford F150, because it is practical for him.

I have never been a "car guy" but I do like the Yukon XLT.

GMC XLT, F150 I like that too. I worked on a couple of those at the shop and its nice. Big, Powerful, and comfortable.

I'm glad to hear that you are planning to devote your life to helping others so that you can drive a Porsche. This is the beauty of capitalism.

I'm a statistician who has worked for medical schools and more recently to reform public education.

I can drive any car I want, but I chose a Leaf. I have other indulgances, however(e.g., food, travel, excessive home comforts).

Physician. I drive a beat up Ford Expedition daily, it's practical for me, hauling kids and sports gear and hunting. I don't want something nice I have to worry about not tearing up. My wife drives $75K SUV. The one kid who drives has a $25K 4 door Jeep, admittedly with additional $15K of aftermarket mods.

Applications Engineer, I have 4 cars: commuter, truck, Sports car and a vintage sports car. Plenty of grief about it from the wife. I am a car guy, what can I say.

This AM I drove a 1964 Austin Healy Sprite w/ 77K one owner miles because the weather is not too bad and I'm putting it up for the winter. My 1968 GT500 is a bad color, lt blue, black interior and is the only mustang in the collection right now. There is also a Falcon Futura and a Taurus SHO in the garage. Daily driver is a 2004 Expedition.

'Retired' from the car rental industry.

2005 BMW M3 (E46)

'67 El Camino.

Press Operator.

Mercedes CLS. I want to buy a used Ferarri 458 at some point which will be when a combination of price drop and increased passive income would let me afford to do so without thinking too hard about it.

Physician it is!

Engineer, 5 years in. Volvo C30. Could easily own a 3-5 year old vette or gt-500 but dont value that. Actually trading in the hot hatch for a mini van!

As a physician you will be able to by any car you want, maybe besides a Maybach. But people like you, who just want to do stuff for the money, usually don't make it past organic chemistry.

I have alot of interest in a lot of careers in the medical field but I have no idea what I want to major in college. Hopefully one of you on here have one of the careers im interested. Im asking what kind of car you drive because one of my goals in the future is to drive a high performance sports car.

Gotta love all the late-20's non-medical guys jumping in (faster than they can read) to brag about their car.

OP - a car should not be the goal of your desired field. If you want to own a particular car, most legitimate careers could provide that, based on your spending (especially if you think a GT500 is an exotic, "someday" car).
