Article Abstract:

Car and Driver staff members are avowed automobile enthusiasts so it is interesting to see what vehicles they have in their garages. Surprisingly, few actually own contemporary high-performance supercars. Staff members have learned early on that it was impractical to maintain a car collection. Moreover, the cars they get to try on the job are far better than anything most of them can hope to buy with their own money.
