I think Mustang is the choice here. Iconic American car and a V8. I’d find a way to get into a 5th gen (S197) over the dated looking SN95. But, this is the car for our buddy Frenchie.

Not sure if there is a more “American” car with a V8 (that isn’t a truck) than the Mustang.  And they are so common, finding one for under $5000 should be easy.

A Vette that will only do 26mph should easily fit under the $5000 budget.

One with a sunroof.

Here’s a 1999 ‘Vette for $8,500 which gets 26 mph on the highway...

For once, all very good suggestions.

The Bubble Van was sweet too.

He lives in the city. Wranglers are only fun outside the city.

That’s a fast 12 miles in rush hour traffic. I’m 80 minutes in the mornings and 90 minutes in the evening. I drive 10 miles. 

You just put Torch to shame with this. 

Any car commuting at 5mph is boring to drive. Might as well be comfortable.

Surprised not more people pointing this way, but since he parks on the street in DC, it would only work if he has access to a place to charge conveniently. If there was a charger at work it would be ideal, but that’s the biggest issue with an EV in the city.

Didn’t you see Kristin’s suggestion? The Flex is the better choice. Still has AWD, is more comfortable than the Subarus, very reliable, and the guy is 6'5", so I’m guessing he’ll take advantage of the extra space. The point against the Flex is that it’s so damn heavy, the fuel economy isn’t fantastic.

I’m not suggesting that you drive around smashing into other drivers, but you want other drivers to think you might.

I learned a weird tax loophole with the Ford Flex, which is that since it’s so damn heavy (over 5000lbs) you can claim all of its depreciation on your taxes as a writeoff instead of some fraction, if you’re claiming it as a work vehicle. Which makes Kristen’s choice a bit more compelling to me in this scene.

I wouldn’t want to park any of those on the streets in DC.  Go with a Prius and a roof rack.  Spend the leftover money on therapy and/or vacations to counterbalance the hell that will be the daily commute.  

She did, however, claim that she knows someone who has such a tape, and that she was personally invited by them to view it - which she claims she did.

I'm hope she has a tape of him killing John Wick's dog, cause that might finally be enough to have supporters turn on him.

My hope is she goes full “John Wick after the dog dies” tomorrow and releases some insane recording that brings this all to a close.
