My 2021 finely has a ding or two. A scratch here and there. And the back seat area has been dog codified. And I like it even more than new.

No one believes me (and they have good reason not to) but barring substantial damage or failure, me and this truck could be a long term relationship.

Or…keep the F250 and get a Ram TRX for sport.

Or… A fully restored vintage pickup truck (40’s-50’s-60’s) with big block running gear. In candy apple red with black leather interior. Probably have Joe Martin build it for me.
For 100K

I would roll my own 69 Camaro based on a repop body, LS/Tremec, Heidt's IRS and Detroit speed front suspension. Just how much LS it got would depend on the cost of the base body/suspension/braking package. I could care less what I sit on as long as my ass stays planted and stereos and GPS are for dweebs; not drivers.

The 2024 is supposed to have the Allison transmission in the gas powered 6.6L
I'm waiting for now.

Wouldn't mind a new bike. Cost's way less than 100 grand and the leftover$ will cover a decade worth of insurance payments.

Something like this is probably enough performance for me

2019 Grand Sport, Blue with the white on the hood and hash marks...

There's one for sale a couple hours from me for the bargain price of $63k.
Just can't bring myself to spend that much on a toy.
