Amphicar. I would tune in every week to watch Doug bailing water out of it.

A Mercedes-Benz 500E. Also known as the W124 M5 killer. You probably won’t want to sell it... ever. One of the finest pieces of engineering ever produced (splendid M119 V8). Don’t forget Porsche helped with the design and assembly.

1. ) It’s in your budget and they can be found 2. ) It’s interesting because it will garner all of the wrong kinds of attention that you hate but we find funny, it was an exercise in all aluminum, it rides terrible, it’s impractical, you can share all of your horrible dealer experiences with us, and I can’t wait until…

There is actually a new car I can think of that would likely meet your depreciation requirement, and you don’t need to “be somebody” to buy one. 6-speed manual SS. You might have to order it, since dealers don’t seem to stock them with the stick.

Doug needs to own a piece of The Fast and The Furious for a year.

This is not a joke....

You should definitely get some imported (not originally sold in the US). Now, we know that you didn’t like the hassles associated with RHD in the Skyline. The Integrale is something that is just now becoming legal to import, is pretty unique, and it’s full of quirky Italian-ness which will surely give you lots to…

850 V12 gets my vote as well.

I suggested this last time, but I’m going to suggest this again: A Noble M400 or Rossion Q1 (same basic car). Exotic, brutally fast, crazy rare, but with a Ford drivetrain. Should be able to pick one up with low miles right in your $60-70k budget. You’ve written about the reactions a Ferrari gets. What about something…

How about an S600 biturbo with a renntech tune. Its been the top ten under whatever money darling this past year and possibly the cheapest way to get into the 600 horsepower club. Tavarish seems to have no issue with the 220 chassis but i dont think hes tried to push his to that power level.

Chevy SSR. Try to use it like a truck, tow a trailer, go offroad, etc :D

There is no better response. The most infuriating but loveable car in the world.

You don’t think the R8 has fanboys?
