Statistically, Michael Schumacher is the greatest Formula One driver in the history of the sport and is respected by fans and fellow drivers. You’ve already heard about the Ferrari he keeps in his garage, but he also hops into a little Fiat Croma when he doesn’t want to stand out.
The Croma is certainly less ostentatious, with only a 1.9-liter engine, and can achieve 150 horsepower. It’s a pretty standard car, and we wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve seen plenty of them when you’re on your commute. Maybe not as many as Ford, but some.
Another Cool Car for this Out-of-Towner
When Daniel Suarez needs to go get the groceries, he doesn't take his treasured Volkswagen. Instead, he jumps into his Toyota Camry on his way to his nine to five or while running errands.
Few cars beat a Camry for staying safe and working well while on the road. Suarez has plenty of cars to love, but he also drives a Ford Mustang when he has a race to win. He's a Stewart-Haas racer, and he keeps their tradition going with incredible skills and legendary love of cars classic and modern.
Another Car for This Female First
Danica Patrick won the 2008 Indy Japan 300. It's the only time a woman has won an IndyCar Series race. She was also the rookie of the year for the 2005 Indianapolis 500 and the 2005 IndyCar Series as a whole.
We've heard about a couple of other cars that Patrick has owned – and her stint at driver's school – but here's yet another that she has driven. She apparently feels most comfortable in her 2012 Mercedes Benz ML63 AMG, which is certainly more practical than her Lamborghini Gallardo.
Joey Logano's Second Appearance Speaks of His Love for Rat Rods
Logano really has a love of old cars. Going even further back in time than his Econoline Van is his 1939 GMC pickup, which he lovingly calls a Rat Rod. While the term means some specific things among car enthusiasts, it might not actually fit the bill here.
Logano has probably done plenty of work to keep the engine running, but he's let the exterior rust and fade, which adds plenty of stories and character about a cool car. It even has a unique decal on the sides: “Logano Fuel and Service.”
This Million-Dollar Car Still Looks the Part
Nigel Mansell may be in his sixties, but he still has the moves to show off on the road. And his Ferrari F40 is the perfect car to do it in. He's the second most victorious Formula One winner overall and won the F1 Championship in 1992, as well as the CART Indy Car World Series in 1993.
The F40 he owns is worth around $400,000 – or at least it was around the time of purchase. Nowadays the cost has skyrocketed thanks to the incredible sports car design, and some models have even sold for a million dollars at recent auctions.
