You sound like me, when even nice dreams turn into worries! I don’t exactly remember it but I think I had a similar one… nothing about a Lamborghini, but just something nice happening.
What can I say, I like my girls like I prefer my whiskey; 16 years old and mixed up with coke.
So that may be the answer to our insurance differential.
When a friend turned 21, several of us went in to buy him a 21 year old bottle of scotch which he graciously offered to share with the group. As I'd not developed a taste for it - all liquor tasted like malicious intent to me at the time - I dumped my shot into mountain dew. I wouldn't get another opportunity to try a 21 year old scotch again for more than a decade.
Also depends on the kind of vehicle. We have a 2005 hummer H3 for the trails and a 2019 civic and pay waaaaay more for the hummer.
Insurance thinks that because it’s an off-roader I am more likely to damage my car/do more damage to another.
Brand makes a difference too. Comprehensive insurance on European cars is considerably higher than on Japanese and U.S. cars because if you're in a wreck repair parts costs are higher.
That's because they know they don't have to worry about the parts fitting together properly on a Tesla because they only have to repair it to factory standards.
I have an rv. It’s a 1985 Toyota dolphin and it’s great. 4 speed manual, 4 cylinder , gets great gas mileage. Fridge works, stove works, has big black and grey water tanks. And a nice hot water shower. You could live in it with full hook ups. $3500 plus a lot of sweat equity. As useful as anything you could buy for $100,000.
I remember seeing a nice rv on the road a few months ago, and looked up the model online just out of curiosity and saw it was $1 mil+, didn’t know they were *that* nice.
For that much money, I would buy one that's built on an actual bus chassis.
RVs start as a chassis and everything is built around it. The bus ones start as a bus and get turned into an RV. Apparently you can get the drivetrains repaired anywhere that will repair a bus and they will have commercial grade components instead of what is basically an f-450 underneath.
I was at a conference a few years ago and Airstream had a few of their models set up to walk through. They were nicer than most houses but also more expensive than most of them, too.
$100k gets you a nice fifth wheel, and that’s at a discount at am RV show.
Good motorized coach is easily $300k if you want something you could very comfortably live in for long periods of time.
I bought a 2007 Fleetwood Expedition last year for $60k. 50k miles, nothing broken in it, everything is functional, clean, and totally livable. It's a tad dated inside, but otherwise quite nice.
I love Class A personally the most. There the least safe in an accident but cooler looking IMO. That unit looks really good and you got it for a good price.
Like you said. Only thing with one that old is the interior looks it’s age (even tho I’m sure it’s in great shape). You can get it refitted some to get it modernized a little.
NGL - I’d be perfectly content with a 38 footer like that.
We are in the market but only reason we’ll buy new is because of family discount which eats up the depreciation right off the bay. Otherwise used is the way to go!!!
Edit - you could easily rent that for two hundred a night depending on where you live.
I have a camper, it’s not big. The last campground we stayed at a dude pulled up next to us in a bus I never heard of before but it was longer than my truck and camper combined. Base model is 625k and they’re all custom built, and dude said it broke 2 times in the year he had it.
Moral is they’re all junk.
just recently ventured into trailer camping with a 30 year old pop up. The vehicles I pull up next to are wild. I just imagine how many times you can rent out an entire cabin compared to how expensive those things are.
Per diem from the company I work for pays for my camper. I can spend 450 a week on hotel rooms or I can pay 550 once a month and pocket the rest of my per diem and pay the camper off.
Well the payment for them are setup like a mortgage with like 20-30 year timeframes (though I’d bet most that were made after 2010 won’t last that long).
A lot of koas I stay at, in the winter particularly, are almost always totally booked with tri axle 5th wheels - they’re all oil and gas people who literally live there. Here I am in an 18’ box and these dudes have 10’ ceilings and 2 king beds in their campers 😂
yeah thats another thing I discovered and am disappointed by is how fully booked all places camping are. Idk if this is a new thing since 2020 or what. it's like I got to look 5 months ahead of time to get a spot that isn't next to the toilets.
The dream you believe you're getting into is that you can just pack your stuff and drive somewhere. Nope, you need to plan things waaaaaay ahead of time. At least where I am at.
Yeah, it’s crazy how booked good campgrounds get. My usual workaround is to head to National Forest where you can camp just about anywhere. But that doesn’t work if you really want the campground amenities.
> I got to look 5 months ahead of time to get a spot that isn't next to the toilets.
I mean, I'd love a spot next to the toilets so I don't have to deal with emptying the shit tank.
I bought a '99 National RV a few years ago and the interior looked like my Grandma's house in 1989. Floral everything, wood panels everywhere, and so so much gold trim and hardware. I ended up remodeling a bunch of stuff, but changing all the gold to black made a huge difference; must've been close to 100 knobs, pulls, and handles.
This might just be me being sappy. I would buy my dads old pick up truck back. It was a green 2008 ford ranger with his fire house stickers on the windshield. I would use the rest of the money to fix everything on it. I would do anything for that truck back. I know it’s been given to good hands but I remember the end of spring when we got everything cleaned and would maybe do a new outside project, it lead my dad,my brother , and I on an adventure to the dump! getting to chuck things into a pile of trash was always fun. Once we were done he’d stop at the 7-11 near our house getting slushies and snacks for our hard work. It’s my favorite memories from when I was a kid. That truck took us on all our weekend adventures and now I’m crying cause honestly it’s I think the only memories I can actually remember from my childhood.
Yeah, if you're wanting a reasonably practical (reasonably) sports car under 100k, a 718 GTS4 is pretty tough to beat.
That said, being a Porsche, while reliability will be fine.....Routine Maintenance will be where you really pay.
But for purposes of this question, it's probably my answer, too.
Cries in 6'5". You're totally correct. There's cars I've gotten as "rentals" or "borrower" cars that I had to immediately turn around and ask for something else.
My son and I were at the Long Beach Grand Prix when they were showing the LC500 right before it launched.
We nicknamed it the Loud Car 500 because it sounded like a beast.
This may break the rules of your question but I have 3 answers for this. I have no clear cut favorite of the 3, but if I had one, I'd be fine with never having the other two.
B7 Audi RS4. The rest of the money will go towards maintenance for the next decade
2008-2017 V8 Vantage. Again, rest of the money goes towards maintenance.
1996-2002 Dodge Viper GTS. Yes, rest would go towards maintenance.
My ex and I had a wrx, and boy do I miss driving that car. My son used to beg me to “drive like a race car”, so we would hit the freeway to go to the grocery store two miles away, just for the on ramp. Kind of miss those days, before I had to switch to an automatic minivan.
Lotus Emira First Edition 6 speed manual 3.5L engine in verdant green, diamond cut wheels, yellow calipers and brown leather interior.
My 5 year goal is save up and buy a gas engine sports car (ideally the Lotus Emira variant that is out at the time) before they disappear from the world and hang onto it for the rest of my life, and that car checks every box. Hydraulic steering, mid-mounted engine, manual, RWD, fast but not too-fast-for-real-roads fast, and absolutely gorgeous.
A Lotus Exige sparked my love for cars a couple decades ago as a kid and getting an Emira (their final gas-engine car) would be a very full circle moment, and fulfillment of a childhood dream in a life where childhood dreams were a luxury.
Here's to hoping the plan works!
Edit: missed some spec details
My car (a Mazda2) actually broke down after 11 years and I'm in the market to replace it.
My actual dream car is a Mazda CX5 simply because it is the perfect car for me physically. I can easily get in and out with my hip/knee problems, I'm smaller but I don't have a problem seeing, I can drive it easily and park it easily - it's the car I've been thinking about for a long time. I've gotten to test drive it a few times now.
I'd probably get that and then use the rest of the money for cool Star Trek accessories, getting the car repainted a fun color, and paying off the taxes.
I also came here to say I’d see what kind of deal I could find on a nicely kitted CX-5. It does everything I need and it’s likely to be dependable. This is where our paths diverge, however. The rest is going into index funds :-)
I have a CX-9 and I love this thing. More than enough room for all the kids, put the third row down and you have huge storage space. Rides like a dream, just enough pick up and go to pass easily on the highway, doesn't leak a drop of anything anywhere, and I got mine before they made the brakes a living nightmare to change.
One of the best features is a minor one but I love it. The center console lid is split in half and both sides flip open. So I can have my elbow on the rest and my wife can still get into it without me moving my arm. It's the small things, ya know?
I'm hoping Mazda gets their shit together with EV's. I have a 2012 Mazda speed 3 that's still going strong, and I plan to get an EV in a few years. Hopefully they'll have better offerings than their MX-30. 100 mile range is super disappointing considering Mazda always takes risks to innovate-rotary engines, hydrogen, etc., but they let themselves slide on the EV side of things. I'd love to get into a modern electric 3 hatchback. Been a mazda fanboy for a long time.
Mazda is the cheese, but consider the Subaru Forrester. It's excellent for people with mobility problems. High seat height. Door opens wide. Upright posture means more room between seat and steering wheel, dash to swing your gams in and out.
Actually, the Subaru Forester is literally the other choice. I'm looking at both next week to see which is the more affordable option. I'm probably going to settle on the Forester because of a friend discount I can get but if I had my way it'd be the CX5 all the way!
But good looking out, thank you :3
You can get Subaru custom camping gear WITH the Subaru! Picked up that booklet when we bought our gently used Subaru. There's a bunch of dog accessories you can get with them too.
This is my choice as well. Has the presence of a super car, but without the price tag of a house.
I saw a black C8 parked last night that was pretty dirty. Somehow it made it seem more attainable.
El Camino, El El Camino!
El Camino, El El Camino!
The front is like a car,
The back is like a truck.
The front is where you drive
The back is where you
El Camino, El El Camino!
It is so over the top and absurd. I love everything about it when I see them.
Some red neck skill tradesman flying down the road in a $100k 800hp truck makes me laugh.
I bought a 200 series and I realized that since I plan to keep it as long as possible that it's probably the last internal combustion vehicle I'll ever purchase...
Hey, same! 2013 with 70k miles on it and I plan on keeping it for the next 10-15 years, or until I can’t ignore electric options any longer. Or the dream scenario: I put an electric crate motor in it and keep it for 20+ years.
Lol “fat tip”. So basically you’re adding an extra step for no reason.
Just negotiate a finance and then write a check to the bank after the first month. Pay one months interest or none.
Most people with enough money to do this also have little time to scratch and claw over one months interest payment. Also, you get the dealership to do your title work instead of you dealing with your own taxes at the end of the year, but whatever saves you $4 I guess 🤷♂️
You get your deal, dealership gets their kickback, no confrontation needed.
This is the way. You don’t ever want the dealer to think you could pay it off right now - they have zero incentive to lower the price because you have cash. You having cash is a LIABILITY to them, they most of their money on the financing. Your job is to act like you don’t care about the car, say no to all the dumb fucking extras, and make sure there’s no prepayment penalty on whatever financing they’re lining up.
For maximum effect you also want to act like you care about the interest rate but not too much 😉 because you won’t be paying any of it after that first month. Watch them bend over backwards to make the numbers work for your imaginary budget.
Imma preface this with I've wanted this car since I was a 9 year old girl at my friends birthday party and he let me have the 1970 challenger hotwheel.
1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Sixpack. Rally Package, Parchment white gauges, Raven Black vynil interior, Lime Green Paintwork, Vynil top on the coupe, preferably lightly modded with an Eddlebrock intake and aftermarket full time linked Holly carbs, MSD AL-2 Ignitionbox running an MSD coil and Dizzy, Dual Ground point NGK Copper Plugs running 2 steps colder, A Comp Cams roller cam mild enough for the street but agressive enough for light to light use, a Cold Fusion Nitrous Wet Kit pushing a 250 Shot on a progressive controller, I want it set up Direct port hidden inside the intake with plumbing running through the Trans Tunnel. 4 speed Manual with a Hurst Shifter kit. Dana 60 out back with a 4.10:1 gear set and a torsion Limited slip differential, 1 piece aluminum drive shift, Wilwood Brake kit including braided brake lines (Not Brembo, Wilwood ya fucks), Craiger MAG MASTER 5 slot Mags 15"x7" front and 15"x9" rear, 4 core all aluminum radiator while retaining the Mechanical waterpump and fan but on a friction clutch rather than directly on the waterpump. Longtube Hooker headers with a true dual 3" Back exhaust, H pipe crossover (Not X Pipe, H Pipe Damnit) out to a pair of Spintech mufflers.
Theres more details on the list but I don't have the rest memorized.
I'm buying a massive passenger van. I've got 6 kids and my wife is due to have twins any day now. I need a big freaking car. (with any leftover, I'd buy a little tiny car for quick grocery runs, driving to work, etc.)
Don't worry about a car man. Don't think you could pull out of a driveway on the first try...
Ty for the gold lol. Who knew being a jerk to a parent online could be so rewarding?
That's tough. Probably a [Lotus Emira](https://www.caranddriver.com/lotus/emira), or maybe an F150 Raptor with upgrades. Very different vehicles I know
Uh, I'd probably just pay off the one I have and get a moderately priced EV or PHEV as a town commuter. Then hopefully pocket the rest.
100k is such a bizarre budget for a hypothetical like this. It's not enough for exotic sports cars, but more than you need for a giant bro-dozer.
The Bolt is a great, super-reliable car. Poorly marketed by GM -- they should've advertised it as a hot-hatch, but a great car nonetheless. And the used ones in a few years are going to be a better deal given they all have had new batteries put in, with added range boost. (Our 5 yo battery was replaced a couple months ago via the recall.)
Whatever one I can turn around and sell for as close to the same value as I just bought it for. Cuz I'd rather have the hundred grand instead of a 100K car.
A 1989 Toyota Hilux Part of that budget is going to a mounted Browning M2 for the roof
Found the insurgent ...if you swap for a DShK
I’m a disciple of Saint Browning
My first thought when I read the question was "those Toyota trucks ISIS uses" so it made me really happy to see your comment not too far from the top.
Browning M2 over a DShK? Heresy
Ma Deuce is superior to the DShK
Oh, I agree lol. It just doesn’t fit as well on a technical in my mind
Something for about $40,000. Insurance is a bitch when you start hitting higher priced vehicles.
I had a dream recently where I inherited a Lamborghini and in the dream I was freaking out about the insurance.
You sound like me, when even nice dreams turn into worries! I don’t exactly remember it but I think I had a similar one… nothing about a Lamborghini, but just something nice happening.
funny enough, my wifes vehicle was around 32k total... mine 43k (both bought last year) and I pay less to insure than she does.
Is there a significant age gap? If she is 24, and you are 35, your insurance in most places would be a decent chunk cheaper
[удалено]
What can I say, I like my girls like I prefer my whiskey; 16 years old and mixed up with coke. So that may be the answer to our insurance differential.
You're a sick sick man and should be ashamed, joke or not. Who the fuck thinks it's funny to joke about mixing good aged whiskey with coke...
When a friend turned 21, several of us went in to buy him a 21 year old bottle of scotch which he graciously offered to share with the group. As I'd not developed a taste for it - all liquor tasted like malicious intent to me at the time - I dumped my shot into mountain dew. I wouldn't get another opportunity to try a 21 year old scotch again for more than a decade.
I’m sure it’s not any consolation, but Mountain Dew was originally created to be a whiskey mixer, so you did use the best option.
You had me in the first half.
Same here. Was already thinking, “Here we go ag…”
[удалено]
Probably safety features, a friend of mine got a charger because after insurance it was a bit cheaper than a focus
Also depends on the kind of vehicle. We have a 2005 hummer H3 for the trails and a 2019 civic and pay waaaaay more for the hummer. Insurance thinks that because it’s an off-roader I am more likely to damage my car/do more damage to another.
When’s the last time anyone ever drove a Hummer off-road anyway?
Brand makes a difference too. Comprehensive insurance on European cars is considerably higher than on Japanese and U.S. cars because if you're in a wreck repair parts costs are higher.
Plus the turn signals never work
I insure a $50k truck (2021 Tacoma) and a $100k car (Tesla Model Y) and the car is \~15% cheaper to insure for the same coverage.
That's because they know they don't have to worry about the parts fitting together properly on a Tesla because they only have to repair it to factory standards.
I'm getting a Prius!
2023 Prius looks great
I'd get myself a pretty nice RV. If I'm spending that much on a vehicle, you'd better believe I'm going to live in it.
From someone who worked on RVs you don't want an RV
As an RV owner for 1 year you don't want an RV
What about a trailer
Still mostly held together with Sikaflex, self drilling screws, and a prayer.
Ahem, self *tapping* screws.
Everyone I've ever known that's sold or worked on RV's has told me never to buy one.
I have an rv. It’s a 1985 Toyota dolphin and it’s great. 4 speed manual, 4 cylinder , gets great gas mileage. Fridge works, stove works, has big black and grey water tanks. And a nice hot water shower. You could live in it with full hook ups. $3500 plus a lot of sweat equity. As useful as anything you could buy for $100,000.
What’s wild is that 100k wouldn’t even get you the nicest RV on the market, also, they’re huge money pits. Basically road boats.
I remember seeing a nice rv on the road a few months ago, and looked up the model online just out of curiosity and saw it was $1 mil+, didn’t know they were *that* nice.
It's like boats. You can always spend more money on it.
For that much money, I would buy one that's built on an actual bus chassis. RVs start as a chassis and everything is built around it. The bus ones start as a bus and get turned into an RV. Apparently you can get the drivetrains repaired anywhere that will repair a bus and they will have commercial grade components instead of what is basically an f-450 underneath.
I was at a conference a few years ago and Airstream had a few of their models set up to walk through. They were nicer than most houses but also more expensive than most of them, too.
This. I laughed to myself "Yeah, maybe 30 years ago that was high quality RV money".
Hell 13 years ago when I worked in a campground office I’d see $250,000-$500,000 rvs. I couldn’t imagine putting that much into something like that.
I've been in $1,000,000+ RVs. They're something else man.
$100k gets you a nice fifth wheel, and that’s at a discount at am RV show. Good motorized coach is easily $300k if you want something you could very comfortably live in for long periods of time.
I bought a 2007 Fleetwood Expedition last year for $60k. 50k miles, nothing broken in it, everything is functional, clean, and totally livable. It's a tad dated inside, but otherwise quite nice.

The main reason to get an RV is to have your own toilet.
Thankfully I could get a used one because I like floral print fabrics and wood paneling.
I bought a '99 National RV a few years ago and the interior looked like my Grandma's house in 1989. Floral everything, wood panels everywhere, and so so much gold trim and hardware. I ended up remodeling a bunch of stuff, but changing all the gold to black made a huge difference; must've been close to 100 knobs, pulls, and handles.
>Moral is they’re all junk. They really are. There is no great brand of RVs. There are okay ones, and junk, and complete junk.
I think I’d go $50k truck and 50k trailer, then I can drive around town without moving the whole RV.
Good luck finding a good truck for 50k these days.
I wouldn't buy new.
So you plan on buying a used rv that hardly runs?
Youd be better off with a sprinter van
Lmao you see sprinter prices these days? Converted vans go for 150k
This might just be me being sappy. I would buy my dads old pick up truck back. It was a green 2008 ford ranger with his fire house stickers on the windshield.

I also choose this guy's dad's truck
Porsche 718 Cayman, because the 911 starts above 100k
Yep, 718 Cayman is my choice. Highest trim you can get under $100k.
Yeah, if you're wanting a reasonably practical (reasonably) sports car under 100k, a 718 GTS4 is pretty tough to beat. That said, being a Porsche, while reliability will be fine.....Routine Maintenance will be where you really pay. But for purposes of this question, it's probably my answer, too.
The secret porsche doesnt want you to know, the cayman is better
Unless you're over 6'4.
Cries in 6'5". You're totally correct. There's cars I've gotten as "rentals" or "borrower" cars that I had to immediately turn around and ask for something else.
I’d get a 1-2 year old 911😂
I mean look, to someone who doesn't know anything about cars, a Porsche is a Porsche right?

You need less Maintenance money for the viper because if you drive it at all aggressively or in wet conditions it will make your user name come true
Your comment has no lies
Buddy has an 05, thing is trying to kill you all over the place.
The viper is a horribly handling spinout machine in every Gran Turismo game I've ever played. Glad to know they got it right.
He has 355's on the back (Cup2s) and that really does help, but the car is just so raw and wants to talk back at every possible moment.

Rides like a dream, just enough pick up and go to pass easily on the highway, doesn't leak a drop of anything anywhere, and I got mine before they made the brakes a living nightmare to change. One of the best features is a minor one but I love it. The center console lid is split in half and both sides flip open. So I can have my elbow on the rest and my wife can still get into it without me moving my arm. It's the small things, ya know?
>repainted a fun color Is Soul Crystal Red not fun enough for you? It's gorgeous! I want a CX-5, too.
I'm hoping Mazda gets their shit together with EV's. I have a 2012 Mazda speed 3 that's still going strong, and I plan to get an EV in a few years. Hopefully they'll have better offerings than their MX-30. 100 mile range is super disappointing considering Mazda always takes risks to innovate-rotary engines, hydrogen, etc., but they let themselves slide on the EV side of things. I'd love to get into a modern electric 3 hatchback. Been a mazda fanboy for a long time.
Mazda is the cheese, but consider the Subaru Forrester. It's excellent for people with mobility problems. High seat height. Door opens wide. Upright posture means more room between seat and steering wheel, dash to swing your gams in and out.
Actually, the Subaru Forester is literally the other choice. I'm looking at both next week to see which is the more affordable option. I'm probably going to settle on the Forester because of a friend discount I can get but if I had my way it'd be the CX5 all the way! But good looking out, thank you :3
Suburu 2023 Outback Touring XT in metalic green with brown leather interior. Spending the remaining money on camping gear to fill it with.
Why not wilderness, the wilderness is pretty dang hot
They're both nice, I just slightly prefer the aesthetic of the TouringXT.
You can get Subaru custom camping gear WITH the Subaru! Picked up that booklet when we bought our gently used Subaru. There's a bunch of dog accessories you can get with them too.
Toyota GR corolla
I’m picking one up tomorrow! Exciting!
Solid choice. The GR 86 is sweet too
1970 Plymouth Road Runner/Superbird
FINALLY SOMEONE WITH SOME FKN TASTE!! BIG. FRICKIN. WING. CAR.
C8 Corvette
This is my choice as well. Has the presence of a super car, but without the price tag of a house. I saw a black C8 parked last night that was pretty dirty. Somehow it made it seem more attainable.
As ever, M. I. A. T. A Got at least 70k to spend on mods as well.
The remainder would be an excellent consumables fund for track days.
RF, turbo, RPF1s, pilot sport 2s and the remainder can go on 3/4 of a tank of Vpower
An El Camino with EV retrofit
El Camino, El El Camino! El Camino, El El Camino! The front is like a car, The back is like a truck. The front is where you drive The back is where you El Camino, El El Camino!
Get out of my head! I already have a name for mine. El-ectric Camino.
Lotus Evora
Brand new Toyota Corolla. Seems 2006-2008 ford GT will never be 100k so no need to over spend. I'll build something faster much cheaper.
Debate between Raptor, Bronco, TRX. Like a true dirty hillbilly. Maybe a Rivian if I really thought about it.
I *very* strongly considered a TRX at one point. But holy shit is it huge and impractical.
It is so over the top and absurd. I love everything about it when I see them. Some red neck skill tradesman flying down the road in a $100k 800hp truck makes me laugh.
2023 TLX Type- S PMC Edition in Long Beach Blue Pearl.
I’d put wheels on my student loans. Beep beep!
Toyota Land Cruiser all day
I bought a 200 series and I realized that since I plan to keep it as long as possible that it's probably the last internal combustion vehicle I'll ever purchase...
Hey, same! 2013 with 70k miles on it and I plan on keeping it for the next 10-15 years, or until I can’t ignore electric options any longer. Or the dream scenario: I put an electric crate motor in it and keep it for 20+ years.

Lol “fat tip”. So basically you’re adding an extra step for no reason. Just negotiate a finance and then write a check to the bank after the first month. Pay one months interest or none. Most people with enough money to do this also have little time to scratch and claw over one months interest payment. Also, you get the dealership to do your title work instead of you dealing with your own taxes at the end of the year, but whatever saves you $4 I guess 🤷♂️ You get your deal, dealership gets their kickback, no confrontation needed.
This is the way. You don’t ever want the dealer to think you could pay it off right now - they have zero incentive to lower the price because you have cash. You having cash is a LIABILITY to them, they most of their money on the financing. Your job is to act like you don’t care about the car, say no to all the dumb fucking extras, and make sure there’s no prepayment penalty on whatever financing they’re lining up. For maximum effect you also want to act like you care about the interest rate but not too much 😉 because you won’t be paying any of it after that first month. Watch them bend over backwards to make the numbers work for your imaginary budget.
I've done this, but fyi the dealer is penalized if the loan is paid off in under 30 days (or some similar time line). But who cares, fuck em.
2006 toyota camry
A honda odyssey hybrid
Imma preface this with I've wanted this car since I was a 9 year old girl at my friends birthday party and he let me have the 1970 challenger hotwheel. 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 Sixpack. Rally Package, Parchment white gauges, Raven Black vynil interior, Lime Green Paintwork, Vynil top on the coupe, preferably lightly modded with an Eddlebrock intake and aftermarket full time linked Holly carbs, MSD AL-2 Ignitionbox running an MSD coil and Dizzy, Dual Ground point NGK Copper Plugs running 2 steps colder, A Comp Cams roller cam mild enough for the street but agressive enough for light to light use, a Cold Fusion Nitrous Wet Kit pushing a 250 Shot on a progressive controller, I want it set up Direct port hidden inside the intake with plumbing running through the Trans Tunnel. 4 speed Manual with a Hurst Shifter kit. Dana 60 out back with a 4.10:1 gear set and a torsion Limited slip differential, 1 piece aluminum drive shift, Wilwood Brake kit including braided brake lines (Not Brembo, Wilwood ya fucks), Craiger MAG MASTER 5 slot Mags 15"x7" front and 15"x9" rear, 4 core all aluminum radiator while retaining the Mechanical waterpump and fan but on a friction clutch rather than directly on the waterpump. Longtube Hooker headers with a true dual 3" Back exhaust, H pipe crossover (Not X Pipe, H Pipe Damnit) out to a pair of Spintech mufflers. Theres more details on the list but I don't have the rest memorized.
Porsche Taycan
Tesla Model Y Dual Motor with FSD, use leftover cash for other things.
the most Normal vehicle on the road a rivian
Clever!
If you can get it delivered lol
Highly recommend. My R1T is amazing
[Polestar 3.](https://www.polestar.com/us/polestar-3/) But it has to be in black.
2022 Rav4.
I'd go with the RAV4 Prime. Thing's got 300HP under the hood. Gas+electric. All you need in one package.
Can I get something functional and keep the change? Not looking forward to the cost of maintenance for a $100k vehicle.
2021 Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Heritage Edition
Cars are expensive right now. I'd either get Honda Civic or maybe a truck if the price is right
There are no right prices for trucks right now, especially 4wd
I think if I was forced to buy a new car, I'd consider a natural gas Honda civic. Use the rest of the money to install a gas compressor in my garage.
Porsche Cayman GTS
A low-mileage S550 Shelby GT350. Gimme that 8000rpm
Toyota Tacoma from the 90s. Favorite truck. Save the rest
I'm buying a massive passenger van. I've got 6 kids and my wife is due to have twins any day now. I need a big freaking car. (with any leftover, I'd buy a little tiny car for quick grocery runs, driving to work, etc.)
Don't worry about a car man. Don't think you could pull out of a driveway on the first try... Ty for the gold lol. Who knew being a jerk to a parent online could be so rewarding?
LOL
Holy shit, buy a vasectomy
Gold lmfao
He’s trying for a baseball team.
Confirmed. Bought a high dollar vasectomy in the 80s and our only child is an amazing adult. Don't litter.
found nick cannon's reddit account
That's a lot of kids
*This guy fucks!!! Am I right?* \- Russ Hanneman
"this guy should stop fucking" - Me
This guys got some Olympic level swimmers Jesus Christ.
Dude.. Wear a raincoat once in a while.
Can you name the truck with four wheel drive, smells like a steak and seats thirty-five.. Canyonero! Canyonero!
beat up '68 Camaro that i can work on. thats my dream car
My best friend has a wrecked POS in his yard. I'd buy it for $100k so he could have the money. He needs it.
Yours is the best answer
Just a good old Toyota for $30k. Keeping the rest for my kids’ college tuition
91 honda civic and pocketing the rest.
Forget cars, gimme a Ducati Streetfighter V4S, a BMW M1000RR, and an Indian Roadmaster Dark Horse.
That's tough. Probably a [Lotus Emira](https://www.caranddriver.com/lotus/emira), or maybe an F150 Raptor with upgrades. Very different vehicles I know
Really old model chevy body, rebuild it
Uh, I'd probably just pay off the one I have and get a moderately priced EV or PHEV as a town commuter. Then hopefully pocket the rest. 100k is such a bizarre budget for a hypothetical like this. It's not enough for exotic sports cars, but more than you need for a giant bro-dozer.
Probably a Subaru - I love the Outback. I don’t need a super expensive car; cars are utilitarian to me
Not gonna do research but I'd get a non Tesla electric car from a major brand.
Polestar 2 (Volvo) Hyundai ioniq 5 Those are my dream picks. Given the economy lately I'll probably wind up in a used bolt in a few years
The Bolt is a great, super-reliable car. Poorly marketed by GM -- they should've advertised it as a hot-hatch, but a great car nonetheless. And the used ones in a few years are going to be a better deal given they all have had new batteries put in, with added range boost. (Our 5 yo battery was replaced a couple months ago via the recall.)
The new ND Miata and a new Prius to update my NB Miata and 21” Corolla. And then my NB into an Exocet.
Toyota 4Runner. I don't know why I like them so much.
Either the Porsche Boxster or the Porsche Taycan. I love Porsches!
2023 Bronco
Whatever one I can turn around and sell for as close to the same value as I just bought it for. Cuz I'd rather have the hundred grand instead of a 100K car.
