Default $25k ceiling... What car would you buy right now..
Bored.. Have no intentions of getting out of the G8 just figured this might be an interesting thread to see what people come up with, are interested in, or need.. New or used doesn't matter..

Bikes are cool too if thats your thing (just gotta promise not to run your highbeams 24/7)

Whatever you pick has to be able to be driven as is.. None of this "i'll pick this C2 slit window for $25k and fix it up on my own dime" BS..

Lets see what you come up with..

Nearly 16 years ago I bought my '72, it was a show car for some 25? years....

so anyway, for 8 grand, I"d do it again.....DD for 16 years now....

total maybe high as 20 grand into it in that time span, WITH TIRES....

I love mine. So far its tuned and has a Vararam and its ballzy. I plan on doing the suspension once i sell my current project and then get LT's and that will probably be it aside from rims and tires and a little audio upgrade.

I can seriously see myself holding onto this one for a bit. And coming from me thats saying something..

what's it for????

assuming daily driver, i'd go xrunner



my base tacoma extended cab is great for every day driving. it's small enough that it's not like driving a whale, but big enough that you can carry just about anything and everying in it.

Xrunner would just add the HP and fun factor
