I don't know how much traffic this thread will get since everyone can just buy those things if they want them.
I have what I want already....I'd just like some kind of beater pickup (mechanically sound, who cares about the rest) to take to home depot, move things, and haul a boat or kayak...but I need to build an outside garage before I add more vehicles. I'd also LOVE to have a Mercedes Sprinter that is decked out like an RV. I could spend an entire summer in that fly fishing....going up the rockies from New Mexico up to Alberta and BC, then back down the Cascades and Sierra Nevadas...but that's WELL out of the price range of this conversation |

I don't want multiple cars. I'd never know which one to drive. It would be the equivalent of a quarterback controversy.

My humble dream garage would be...
1 - a 70s Corvette with those classically sexy coke bottle curves in electric blue... with a seriously beefed up 350 and killer shocks 2 - Ram 1500 crew cab with all the whistles, and a Hemi 3 - Ram 3500 with a Cummins, pull anything with it |

Need $20k for budget cars today. $10k gets mostly dumpsters.

Wish I'd kept my Taco.
When I was a teen-ager, I always wanted an Alfa-Romeo Spider Veloce. An old 1969 Datsun Z would be fun to drive, and tinker on. A C3 Vette (gotta have a Vette) Can't beat a '60s Mustang for cool factor. |

Honestly, for under $10K maybe I'd try to find my old BMW Z3 or Fiero or something. It looks like they're both around $12K, so maybe I could find a deal. My old BMW Z4 can be had for about $22K, and that's still an attractive deal. |

Probably. Haven't checked prices on any of these in years. Didn't know the cut-off was $10k. Thought I had more wiggle room, like 20k. But I wouldn't mind tinkering on an old Datsun Z or Mustang. Even an old MG. |

Or even easier, if your wife has 5 pairs of shoes, just choose 5 vehicles that match the general style/color theme of each pair of shoes, and then when she gets dressed for a night out, glance down at her shoes and you'll know what you're driving. |
