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

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. |

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

That.^
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 () 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? |

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). |
