What’s your play vehicle?

What is your guys secondary vehicle? Anything fun or recommendations?

 

I've been through probably a dozen or so play thing cars. That being said, after 15 (!) years I have had, and still enjoy, my S2000.

It's been supercharged, turbocharged, and back again probably 3 times. Is currently a stock motor and is still just as much fun as when it put down 500whp. I still stare at it in the garage. Even my wife still loves it!

 

I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee, lifted with 31 inch tires. Love that thing.

 

1978 CJ5

 

I love my M3 track car. Depends what type of fun you’re looking at getting into though.... track car, weekend car, off-road vehicle, etc.

 

Just something to modify with a manual transmission. What year m3?

 

I’ve never driven one, but I definitely love the s2k. I’m just trying to find something that will replace my Lexus is300 and I’ve heard the s2k is a decent replacemt

 

1998. Bought it bone stock 10 years ago and have now stripped it down, thrown in a roll cage, etc.

I'm a 65 year old man trapped in a younger man's body.

Now where did I put my jean shorts...

 

And your all white new balances LOL

 

I've driven tons of stuff. Still the most fantastic thing I've ever driven. There's only two things you have to consider owning an s2k:

1) You gotta be ok with zero low end torque.
2) You REALLY gotta be ok with being a little tight, or being shorter than 5' 8" or so!

 

Buy a Porsche anything (not a boxster) that’s 15+ years old.

 

I'm more of a Nike Air Monarch guy. Admittedly the C5 is more fun than it should be, and I'm coming from a 2006 STi.

Outside of maybe a 996 can you buy a running 911 these days that doesn't require remortgaging your house?

 

I’ve had a couple of Nissan Z cars. I gotta say a manual trans 370z is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on. Reasonably priced for such awesome handling and performance! I had a 2010, but people thought it was much newer because the body still hasn’t changed.

I only sold it to facilitate turning my 2.7 SR taco into my pro.

 

WRXs are nice (and Quick) but many have been beat. What's your budget? I frequent bringatrailer.com- I've been dying to test drive a Honda S2000. There is a nice one there tight now. People complain about dash speedo layout...I agree but I would probably get used to it.

I'm still old school...I have a 78 Ls1 powered TA- it's loud and fast! 2009 ZR1 Jetstream metallic, 4l60e auto, long tubes, 2 tone white and black interior, 1999 z28 seats.

 

I still lust after a Z32 TT. I had looked for one prior to my C5 but couldn't find one (even NA) worth buying at the point. I was without a car and needed something while my 2016 was coming in due to weird circumstances and found my C5, but I still sometimes wonder if I should have gone in a different direction. The year before I got serious about buying I had found a 1-owner 1990 TT, black on black with 60K for 11.5K. I still kick myself.

 

Alumacraft

 

This was my last biggest "toy"...now some guy in Tx owns it and does alot of street racing on Street Outlaws with it...that hobby was too rich, so picked up hunting and riding...

 

E36 if you want something with plenty of aftermarket and affordability. E46 is also good. Avoid the v8 if you don't want to worry about valve issues
