If you had 120k to buy a car...
What would you buy and why?
Go :datawiz: This kind of seguays into the RC-F thread. |
I would take $50k and buy a nice car and put the other $70k into my retirement fund.
|
Actually I wouldn’t even need close to 120k. Today, I went and test drove a 6 speed manual Fiat Abarth Spider. For pure cost to fun ratio, it would be hard to beat. Not the most practical car I know, but it would be a blast to drive around town. Economical too. I know it’s a rebadged Miata, but I really like what Fiat did with the Abarth edition.
|
The zr1’s probably best bang for the buck...although for that kind of cheese I may be more interested in a used R8 or 911, although I’d probably go test drive a few H1-alphas first.

if i had to buy a car/truck, i'd trade in my current truck for a red one. chevy silverado 2500HD, quad cab, and use the rest to buy a water hauling trailer set up (about $7000), and i'd either keep the rest (depends on the rules) or let it go (if you don't spend it, you don't get to pocket what you saved). if i can get 2, then i'd get a new Subaru Forrester for Mrs. DAB (her's is a 2002). if only one, then a new car for her, and i'll keep my truck.
easy to spend money you don't have. :DAB: |
I would love to have a 1970 Chevelle SS with the big 454

To be honest, a fully loaded WRX STI Subaru is on my radar. Chump change for sure. I'd look to boost it with a tuner post haste.

62 Fuelie with a 4 speed or a 67 Big Block Coupe, also with a 4 speed.
Honorable Mentions 66/67 SS 396 Chevelle (4 Speed Only) De Tomaso Pantera |
There isn't anything out there that I would buy right now in that price range. I might get a C8 if i really like it but I probably won't.

Batmobile #1 sold at Barrett-Jackson in 2013 for 4.6 million.:yesnod:
|
I'm good with a replica.:)
|
Probably a Series 1 E-Type. Roadster vs Coupe would be a hard decision.
Not long ago I'd have said a '65 365 HP Corvette coupe or a '67 435hp 427 vert. Think the E-Type may be a better investment. |
