A little out of range but this would be ideal http://rallyfighter.com/

Reality check. What do you want, truck, GT, SUV/CUV, wagon...?

I have a 4x4 v6 MT Tacoma and its great. BRZ is way too racecar now to commute in... But I kind of want a Cayman S too

Yeah, when the EPC warning light comes on and goes into limp mode on the highway, you can bet I wasn't happy. All the electronic luxuries in this car piss me off.

If I was going to do 2 cars, I'd rather have something really extreme like an Elise + something really comfy like a 3-series or G sedan.

BRZ is more of a compromise one-car setup IMO.

If performance is on the table, you want to roadtrip it and don't need 4x4 (most don't, don't be delusional) imo it would be a comfy sportwagon. Not significantly less fun than a sedan and way more practical. BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Cadillac CTS, pre-owned can get you a bangin' deal on the luxury cars, maybe a Panamera. If you want to save a few bucks there's VW and Subaru.

If practicality takes precedence over comfort or performance a truck makes sense, but I would skip the 'truck yeah' as it sounds like a commuter is needed and suggest the Honda Ridgeline, >90% of people don't need more truck than that.

Lol nice, im really open to anything and seeing your guys reason behind it. Cause lowkey want an Aston Martin Vantage for business meetings and my FRS as a daily but also like the utility of hatches and suv's

For an ideal 2 car set up, I'd say my second would be a Volvo V60 Polestar

Or one of the old h6 Outbacks if you can find one. Simplifies maintenance because if you know how one Subaru works, the other isn't too much different.

Though if I had 80k for car money, I'd probably replace my FRS with a used Cayman or Lotus (:scared0016:) and get a Subaru something for the everyday. 86 twins are great all-rounders and super fun to drive, but when you can have 2 decent cars, why compromise?

With $80K to play with the list of used possibilities is almost endless. Even the list of new is pretty long.

probably would get a jeep grand cherokee srt8

Atropine 05-29-2017 01:07 PM

Buy 3 more FR-S...that'd be 800 HP if you include your original...

Heck if you get them new...that'd be 815 HP...that is Dodge Demon level of HP.

With 4 FR-S...your friends don't need to ride in the back...you just make them drive.

I am looking to pick up a 2011-2012 Porsche 911 turbo s. I daily my frs and will pry toss a small turbo on for shits and giggles but I love just driving it every day. I had wanted to do a full build but just not worth it for me. But I want a nicer car that I don't want to park at Walmart and can have balls out fun with and still take on road trips!

My daily driver is a Forester. The new XT is a very nice car. I would keep the rest of the money for car maintenance, spare parts, tires (nice to check different ones).
