If not Camaro, then what?

[KWin]

Im surprised no one has said this, but a 4 door wrangler might be the ticket...
Then follows
Charger, 4 series bmw.
Or more practical Rav4 /prius options

I would say just keep it. If we still have a country in 20 years it will be a classic, and unique. If you are not a car person, I would sell it, and invest the money. If you like having a fast car in the yard, get a 4 door car like G8, or Chevy SS. Oh, and of course Dodge Charger like a R/T with Scat pack.
We had what we called a third car just to have. A 2014 Cadillac ATS performance package with the 3.6. Great car, but things about it that are Cadillac specific started to go, and it became a burden that would in time become costly, so with 12 years, and 197k on it we decided to unload it.

I'd go with either a classic American 1950s restomod sedan, a nice Grand Wagoneer (original SJ, not the later versions), or a four door Wrangler.

Well there’s only 1 answer to this question.

Well, at least when I finally give up and opt for the lobotomy, I can ask for them to take out the bit of brain that saw this.

You aren't getting a decent Grand Wagoneer for that money these days; maybe if you also own a DeLorean and can go back in time a decade.

I joked about getting a four door JK I had a two door before that we may also get back some day.

And hey, I just might. Its super nice and isnt hurting anyone being here. We just dont do car stuff with it and two doors isnt always fun - but it gets around nicely.

I need to borrow it back. I havent driven it myself 3-4 weeks

Like I said. Fun convo, if nothing else i'll learn about some other vehicles I never thought of before.

I'd buy a Wrangler. Would love to pair my Gladiator with a Wrangler. Have the Gladiator set-up for overlanding and have the Wrangler set up for some serious off roading like the Rubicon which is only a few hours away from me.

I have a stock 807hp Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye in the garage that I never drive. I've thought about selling it. But it's hard to let it go, it's a pretty awesome muscle car.

If you're set on a fully restored one, that's true. But I said a nice one, which can be found for that price range if you're patient.

My DIL just bought a new Camry hybrid as she has a fairly long commute. The dealer wouldn’t give her anything for her Subaru Legacy so they just decided to keep it. It has about 180K on it and still runs great so maybe look into a used Legacy. She was getting in the 30’s for mpg…

Subaru. Crosstrek if you are all of medium size people.

One of the problems of a performance car for Jeep owner is waiting for all the butt heads to get the hell out of the way.

I just bought a 25 GT, 5.0. Love it but I never new what impatience was while I drove my 23 Max Tow. Saving miles and building out the 23 Max tow now. Mustang is fun as hek and I got 10K miles on it in 9 months. No complaints from empty nester house hold. Just 1) the impatience and 2) way more HP then 26 years of Jeeps has exposed me to. Still on a learning curve. Only got it cause Ford threw out 0% while I was looking at small Mazdas, BRZs, Maybe a Nissan Z and Subarus for a second car.

I say Subaru. Edit, and also Mazda's. The C- series are nice, C-5, and I really like ther3 C-3 5 door hatchback, smoe with paddle shifters. I would have........ Subaru and Mazda.

Austin Healey 3000. It seats 4.

@Sweetums Duluth bare naked or Armachillo. Night and day from cotton. Been wearing them for 20 years.

Actually thats the kind of cool input Im looking for. I would have never looked up an ES 350 otherwise. Is there something in particular you like about those?

The ole lady is enrolled back in school for some pre reqs and next year will be making a 3hr round trip ride to school two days a week for some RN classes so whatever we have (Camaro, etc) I am sure she will be driving some for that.

I've begun looking into the ES350's.
I began looking at Camry's for fuel economy and reliability. Lexus seems to have fewer complaints than Toyota, even going back to the '90's they seem to be reliable cars.
There are also many low mileage used cars for sale.

I want economy, reliability, longevity and lately some comfort, in no particular order.
I don't commute but I do like to drive, and I take a few road trips a year to visit friends and family.
Last week I looked at trading my Gladiator, it's worth more to me than the dealership so I still have it for now.

What finally pushed me over the edge was the steering pump recall.

We used to always have a spare vehicle…..until I started working from home full time, we kinda didn’t need a 3rd and we never drove them. They were always something we could take the roof out (per say).

So now….we’ve combined the convertible & truck into one - The JT!!!
We bought a little 17.5’ bass boat.
The hubby dries an M4 (although, the JT gets driven more for everything we do on the weekends).

If you’re into fishing or camping…what about a boat or camper?

A 2 door Wrangler
Bronco (an original one if you can find one)
Subaru Crosstrek

I’ve always liked the ‘rugged outdoorsy’ type cars or trucks and hate all the same-old same-old SUV’s and cars out there. My husband likes the fast HOT looking cars (corvette’s, BMW’s, Audi’s, porsche, etc).
