I always told myself that if i ever got good "throw away money", i'd get myself a 1988 Dodge Colt 2dr Hatchback.
And i'd equip that bad boy with a 2x4 wooden spoiler and those plastic spinny hub caps from Walmart. I'd have fake hood scoops, fake fender scoops....mud flaps. Lol. I'd have that thing "Pimp-My-Ride: Swap Meet special." But i'd make sure the AC blew ice cold, i'd put a system in it and i'd rock that shit as my daily. |

The only dream car on a budget is one that needs 10-15k worth of work after the initial budget.
Cant even find a decent midsize sedan thats 5 years old and average miles for under $25k. |

My son just bought a 1972 Datsun 240 Z. I don't understand some people and their cars. He's got a lot of work to do on it I guess, but he's happy.
I've always been a "cars are to get you from A to B" and I don't really care about them. Until I got my 2020 Ford Ranger, every car I ever had was like...meh... |

Most cars are "meh". They're designed to be driven like "meh". They're not meant to be exciting. They're meant to be fuel efficient. They're cookie cutter. They're made to be appealing to women too... But then there's those cars that invoke a different sensation when you drive them. They suck up gas. They're loud. They have blind spots. They're hard to get in and out off. Most of the time they're just inconvienent. You have to approach a dip a different way so as to not scrape it. Hell, in my Firebird there's certain curbs i just don't even try to pull up to because i know my passenger is gonna bang the door against the curb cuz it's so low. But goddamn, THOSE are the cars that invoke a sensation when you drive it. Not your Toyota Corolla. Your Corolla....your Sentra....your Camry....that shit was made to get you from point A to point B and that's it. As most cars are. |

1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. First car I purchased myself. I'd love to have one in the garage for nostalgia reasons. |

$20K would be much more reasonable.

I don't have 5 cars but hopefully this falls into the list. I would love to own a 1982 Chevy C10 short bed. Just for cruisin' around on evenings or weekends when the weather is nice.

I've been looking at the Honda Acty as well, for our farm down in Florida. The idea of getting a 4wd vehicle, with a bed, and AC for under $8k is kinda crazy. Would prefer to get larger wheels for them, but not sure they can get much bigger. Still, that is so much cheaper (and again... has weather coverage and AC) than some Polaris thingie, and is still small enough that it isn't a full-size pickup.
The only other car on my list is a Chevy 2500 HD which I bought new a little bit over a year ago now. Got an old 2006 Chevy Silverado (1500) which I am going to drive into the garage and do a full rebuild on one of these days. |
