If you have more money to spend, you can never go wrong with a Porsche Cayman/Boxster either.

These last few pages of car talk is some of the best recruiting material I’ve seen from SW. Definitely makes a job more bearable when you can put aside all the aviation BS and find something in common with others.

Finding out the other pilot is a car enthusiast is generally a really good sign. I can BS about cars for 2-3 days easy.
