What are you driving and why?

I am driving a Mercedes- Benz SL 63 AMG because I always dreamt of owning one for its naturally-aspirated V8 engine.

To drive a Maserati MC12 on the Pacific coast highway in the USA and then get it down to India on carnet and drive it from Jodhpur to Jaisalmer.

In a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, on the empty roads of Kutch.
