    I already have a weekender, so probably would have kept my Macan.

    Probably a Rav4 or something similar if new maybe an older Fozzy. Really almost bought a wrx instead of my 2nd gen, but I felt like I was sitting on the pavement.

    Then I also remembered that all my hobbies are outdoors: climbing, mtb, skiing, etc which means a awd decent clearance vehicle in UT.

    I'd have a hard time choosing. There isn't an interesting enough vehicle out there, a Hyundai Accent would do the job. New vehicles are just boring nowadays, Domestics suck, and are usually produced outside the US, and many of the imports aren't built in their respective country.

    I’d prefer one of these over the slingshot.

    Wouldve kept my 2016 frs, but that little thing was too small, couldnt ride anybody else i know on the rear seats..needed something more all around practical vehicle, specially come winter . Probably 95% i wont be using the bed, mostly will just be some cleaning materials and rags and whatnot but i like the huge space to put anything

    What would I buy if I had 40K and no need for a vehicle? ... do I have to spend it? Put it into stocks is my first option, if I have to spend it. If it has to be a material object, or result in a material object, I'd pay someone to do the remodel I'm starting. If I'm trying to make a flashy post on TW, I'd buy more guns and make more things in my house red/white/blue.... which reminds me of that remodel I was talking about.

    Oh yeah, we are talking about vehicles... um... I was younger once and I bought a first gen colorado. Once you get a truck, there isn't any other option. Love trucks. So, I guess Id get a Ducati? Those only cost 20-30k, not quite 40k... OH I GOT IT! Id get a Ducati and a pair of used snow machines and a trailer to pull with my tacoma. Best answer yet. Brilliant!

    I was at the county dump today hauling a ton of brush, lawn chairs, ironing boards etc... I see no less than three of these adorable things Pull up bEhind me. OnE guy has a full couch in the back, has the tailgate up and the thing up at a 45 degree angle sticking out about 5 feet in the air.

    I figured ridgeline owners would have a haul away service, but i learn something new every day.
