2013/14 Cadillac ATS with the 2.0T and manual trans. Can be had in both 2 and 4 door flavors and depreciation has hit these hard bringing some prices well below $20k (manual option can help bring price down a bit too). Comfortable highway cruiser but some reviews have said it’s sportier than a 3 series. More power

Just don’t go watching their other videos...

If I had this kind of money, I’d probably buy mulitple houses around the world, rather than one big plot. Plus this is way too much house for me, I’d guess my dream house would end up around $1-2 million max in my local housing market. I’d end up spending way more on cars and parts and tools. As some others have

You need to learn a bit more about the Red Cross.

There are honestly better charities where more of your money will go to helping people.

There is that weird little hump on the back, honestly never noticed that before. The rear arches bother me too, it’s like the designer wasn’t sure if he wanted round or more straight edged like the front and couldn’t make up his mind. That and the front is very streamlined and edgy while the back is more amorphous, at

A compact sized Peterbilt? or something (I don’t know semi-truck brands real well)

Well considering that used to be the Lotus 7 before the design was bought by Caterham, it pretty much is badge engineered.

Interesting that insurance is high on these. The Scion TC had high insurance for what it was, something about 2 door japanese cars? probably the younger population they were marketed to.

I like it, you’re not gonna find a 2000 Civic in that shape for $800 otherwise. Those two fueling stations are an hour away because CT is so tiny. If it was closer to where I live I’d buy it and have a good daily beater.

Good reliable choice, thought the insurance on these is ridiculous, or it was when I checked last. Was enough to dissuade me from buying one. 

I mean, it probably won’t break down on you since the engine is junked and it won’t be driving anywhere anyway. It is as reliable as a paper weight at this point.

Weird that my phone auto corrected to that. I’ve searched and been to a few places with the name due to a near by road being named after John James Audubon (wraps around UB in WNY), and the near by parks and society office. Maybe a little less condescension next time?

Ended up being a wheel bearing. Then the trans was having an issue and I rear ended someone at low speeds. It was enough to put it out of commision.

I thought I remember hearing a while back on unlimited parts of the Audubon, the average speed ends up around 120mph. Going up past 150 things can get sketchy with the nature of aerodynamics and whether a car was designed to do that, but in the pursuit of mpgs most cars today should have no trouble hitting 125.

Nah, a standard focus will probably do that. New cars are so aerodynamic hitting 125 isn’t all that hard. Granted going up from there gets progressively harder as force due to drag increases to velocity squared.

I had a 95 Escort with that same engine, you sir are a braver man than me. I only ever got up to 90, though this is after it was almost 15 years old and in need of some repair. It would start to shake quite a bit about 75. For such a low hp junky little thing I always kinda miss it.

2001 Bonneville SE can hit 105 before it tells you to slow down.

I second a Volvo, the new S90 is so gorgeous too and within her price range. It’s definitely not common. The other recommendation I’ve seen is picking up a Jaguar. Both companies produce good looking cars that don’t blend in with the sea of German luxury out there.
