I don’t condone this sort of vigilante justice, but I won’t condemn it either. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

The Honda Accord. The old Accord Sport with the 2.0T and a manual was super rad. Throw the Type-R/Integra engine in it and give it a manual. Lower it on some sport springs and put a more agressive front end on it. As a matter of fact bring back all the old Japanese sedan sport models. Altima SE-R, Sentra SE-R,…

What a shit headline - here I was expecting Ford put $22,500 on the hood of each Lightning.

Volvo S60 Recharge

Here is a 2021 Volvo S90 AWD with 7k miles on it for 39,892. It checks all the boxes. Awd, executive styling, comfort,safty,and reliability. get 32 mpg highway and plently of bells and wistle most people want in cars

The answer is a 2022+ VW Arteon with the Golf R motor and 7-spd DSG.

Pick up the best used Maverick you can for your $25k budget.  They are great!

When I was 9 years old (1992) I went to play golf with my dad and in the parking lot was a bright red Dodge Viper. Turns out there was an NFL player that was teeing off in front of us and invited my dad and I to golf with him. After the round he asked my dad if he could drive me home in the Viper. Ever since that day…

Since when does a police department actually pay for a “community engagement” vehicle? Around me they’re all either cars seized from drug dealers or free surplus MRAPs.

Or buy a beater truck. i firmly believe everyone should have a beater truck.

You could do what i did when i sold my 2016 2dr GTI. Get an Alltrack (and bonus you can make it a GTI wagon for cheap)
I purchased an alltrack, swapped over plaid interior, GTI brakes, gave it coilovers. And just a tune gets it up to GTI power at about 230hp. Plan to keep my wagon for a while. In the cargo area you can…

Best truck I ever had was a 1995 ex-forrest-service F-250. Forrest Service Green. 300 CID I-6. 5-speed Manual Transmission. Triangle Vent windows. Complete stripper except it had an AM/FM radio.

Honda Beat is the answer. So much so that, with your budget, you can buy TWO of the best ones on the market and fit them both in your garage. One fun car is cool but two would be better (math!)

Nissan Skyline ER34

Oh, I got out of that abusive relationship. I don’t have any RX-8s any more.

1987 Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer

I will probably get some flak here, but it most likely was an insurance-based denial. Any of these contests that you see to win prizes (hole in one, kick a fg, make free throws, etc.), the sponsor company will get insurance for them. And it is really up to the insurance company to pay out the prize if it is won.

Too busy vaping to drive it?

1954 Gregory Roadster 1 of 1. A pioneer of front wheel drive vehicles, Ben Gregory built this with a Porsche 356 engine in the front powering the front wheels. It’s a beautiful car, I saw it this summer at the Lame motor Museum.  Only one that ever made it into production.
