You forgot the myth that coffee tastes good. I debunked that one years ago by trying it. I wish I liked coffee, but I just can’t. It’s a shame as I love coffee houses and the smell of coffee, but the taste is just terrible.

Don’t buy a car. Build one.

Some sort of random resto-mod could be fun. Like this AMC Ambassador. It’s so under budget you could get this as an aside. It’s also a lesser known platform (I doubt you’ll see another one). Showing up at a GM dealer to get the Chevy motor serviced would always be good for a laugh. Lastly, it would open you up to a…

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

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…

Why just one?

Time to go for something with a bit of a vintage, plus points: No depreciation, you can get into the culture and the characters you find there, Minus points: Keeping it running, the culture and the characters you find there.

You have satisfied the Italian, JDM, ballistic station wagon, SUV etc. fans to date. Perhaps a classic with the ability to ruffle feathers (you seem to enjoy that...) Protouring restomod Camaro/Firebird/Mustang/etc.

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…

An Indian Tuk Tuk

I’d love to hear about what it’s like to own a Factory Five Racing Type 65 Coupe because I’m hoping to build one. Pre-built, they sell in the 50k ballpark.

I think you should go for a classic car now, modern amenities be damned. See if you can find a Hudson Hornet.

You’ve done a nice variety of factory stock cars. Time for something DIY.
Build a Factory Five 818.
This should give you plenty to write about as the build will take a long time, and then you’ll end up with a very unique car that garners lots of questions as well as confusion at both CarMax, and the Subaru dealer (these…

Get back to basics. Hot Rods are the foundation of our enthusiast car culture. And they’re fun.

DUh!!!! Caterham 620 R

I think its time for something old, like really old. Pre 80s. Most people dont see these on a regular basis, let alone share them. Anything from a muscle car to a fifties cruiser all the way to a prewar car. These provide unique challenges that your previous cars have not given you. With your budget, you could easily…
