JADED MILLENNIAL HOT TAKE: I was hired full-time by a major media corporation at age 23, after freelancing in TV for two years after college. The pay is ridiculous for a now-25-year-old, but I still sometimes look back at my freelance days wistfully when my vacation days get denied, wishing for that "flexibility"…

I'm a 24-year-old owner of a new 128i, and Jaguar should be excited to know that my answer is "almost definitely yes*"

Came here to say this. Anything to do with the Blackbird is an automatic win in my book—especially if it features Buick Wildcat V8s.

Calling ahead definitely improves your experience. Even as a 22-year-old, I never had an issue getting attention at dealerships, as long as I made an appointment.

I'm not a runner, but I got these when I worked at a summer camp. They were great for running around the woods without sticks jabbing at me.

This question isn't about "best," this is about which Porsche I love the most. Which in this case is undoubtedly FERKEL THE NEIN-11!

You're doing god's work. The god of Jalops, at least.

As the owner of one, DO IT. They're not badly priced, used, and the N52 engine avoids most of the maintenance issues that the turbo'd models have.

SHAZAM!

No love for the W-Body Monte Carlo? Wait until you see it in shooting-brake form!

As a 24-year-old enthusiast who bought a car last year, I feel like most of the commenters here are suffering from a lack of perspective.

Judging by BMW's performance options in the US of late, I'd say the LSD will be reserved for the M2.

This looks like Žižkov!

Ah, but when combined with Beef, it becomes a delicious ramen-combo (ram-com) that cannot be denied.

As a Lions fan, meOUCH.

Chicago is a real mixed bag, depending on where you live.

I test-drove an Abarth coupe in Chicago. The experience was the definition of "mixed bag."

+10 if that's a reference to The Art of Racing in the Rain, because that book murdered me in the best way imaginable.

I considered these two cars for nearly 3 months this winter, and ended up with... A 128i (6MT).

I'd argue that the exception to #4 is the 1st-gen Civic Hybrid. So far it's been the best of the bunch, at least somewhat fun to drive, and it came with a 5MT.
