All the stars for you my friend.

Not sure these really go 88 mph anymore but man those doors are the cat’s pajamas.

Maserati Granturismo(S, MC Stradale if you can find one under $60K)

DeMuro...

Let Torch’ decide...

Ariel Atom, KTM Crossbow or Polaris Slingshot.

Local Motors’ Rally Fighter.

‘69 Opel Kadett wagon, duh, dolt. Nothing is purer than 60ish horse power, manual steering, manual trans, manual drum brakes, and manual road head. Plus it’s only $1500, and - lucky for you- it’s in my garage please come get it now

Land Cruiser, but not a normal one. An HDJ78 or thereabouts outfitted just so. From Germany or Switzerland so it’ll be left hand drive.

Get a new Chevy SS with the Manual tranny. Bonus points if you do the Holden conversion on it. They have been holding their value very well, and a used 15 with the manual would be a great option, so you don’t have to worry about depreciation.

Left field suggestions as follows:

Personally, as the owner of an air-cooled 911, a Boxster, a 968, a Dakota 5.9 R/T, and a GLA45 AMG (mentioned my cars to establish expertise on slightly unhinged automotive preferences). I wouldn’t read anything on a weekly basis about any of my cars or cars similar. They are extreme and interesting to a point, but…

The Germans call it ’’der Kathedral’’

I nominate the 1961 Chevy Corphibian! It is auction, so there is a chance you can get it under or at budget if there is no reserve. I bet you can get some good stories when you take it around town and on the waterways.

IT HAS A CD PLAYER DOUG! A CD PLAYER!

So you’ve had a Ferrari. You’ve had a Skyline. You’ve had a Hummer.

Bentley Continental Flying Spur.

Maserati or something equally as unreliable. Then buy an off the shelf warranty to compare to CarMax warranties.

Maserati Bi Turbo

Buy the most dangerous out of warranty car in the world: The E60 M5.
