My wife will have the "utility" vehicle although it will be something top of the line and nice.
So far my top contender for the retirement (and last) car remains the type F but that will not be confirmed until I see what is out there in 2025. The one thing I can 100% guarantee is that it would not be an 86/BRZ even if they still existed.

That thing is so much bigger up close than it appears from a distance or in pictures. Parking my BRZ next to one makes it look bloated and fat.

Jaguar seems to have mastered the art of making fat ass vehicles look small. I was initially interested when the E-Pace came out, because it looked like a small, nimble SUV in the commercials. Then I had one try to run me out of my lane in traffic and realized how large it is in person.

Yep!
And I don't care!


I float back and forth between a new Jag or something 40+ years old but 100% redone.

Me and my wife also discussed this and she loves the F-type. It's auto so she'd be able to drive it so it's a good compromise. Another option would be maybe a used R8 but god knows how much insurance would be. Anyway we should probably buy a house first lol

Hard top I hope. Just doesn't look right as a convertible. There is salesman at my office that has a convertible.

A guy at work (yeah, a lot of exotic cars at my office) had an R8 for a while. He got hit in the side and the only damage was to that carbon fiber B pillar thing... only cost him $10,000 to fix it though.

He got rid of it shortly after. I miss hearing him leave the office everyday in that thing.

That wouldn't happen in my house as MomHawk is all Mustang. We'll end up with at least 3 cars, maybe 4.

She'll have a Mustang Convertible
I'll have a 2 seater sports car
We'll want some type of four-door vehicle that I'll pick
We would also have a hauler, some type of used truck most likely.

On my two if I picked today it would be a C7 Vette and a CTS-V. Neither of those will be available when I'm ready to buy though so the field is still open to see what is coming, or I may buy used if I don't see anything I like.

A friend works in Jaguar, but he still owns a STI. Jags have nice and stylish saloons though ...

Na. Get the vert so you can go viral driving through the snow with the top down in nothing but a Tshirt
