  1. Check around and see what dealerships are offering on new machines. I bought a Husqvarna Z560 last Spring for about $1500 off MSRP and 0% financing for 3 years. I’ll average about 50 hours per season and it’s stored inside, so it should last me a long time. Still not cheap, but after weighing out all the options, I don’t regret it a bit.
  2. Based on the description, I think $4k is high but $2500-3500 could be reasonable.

     

    I know we’re all car guys, and that sounds super cool, but for a spare run around vehicle mostly for time with the kids, just get a turn key TJ. You get the same feeling of an outdated shitwagon, but slightly less outdated.

  3. Does anybody happen to know a guy named Corey who attends Cars and Coffee with his 1969 Roadrunner? It’s a light tan (Sandpebble Biege to be exact) with a black hood and plates say COREY JR. There’s a guy who has written a few Mopar books and is in the process of tracking down a ‘69 Roadrunner for each color available for display trying to contact him.

     

    Probably not necessary, but if he needs narrowed down anymore, I know that he went to OU in 05-06.

  4. The fact that you like the YJ is a good start, not a big buyers market for them. Don’t even consider a 4 cylinder and avoid rust. I’d try to find one that already has full doors and a hardtop, those are expensive to add later if you want them, or can be sold for a good bit to put money back in your pocket. Good luck.

    -CR delivers multiple suggestions based on your feedback and your budget

    -CRs most respected member offers one of the best available examples of a top suggestion

    -You have somehow gotten nearly everyone to agree with Kerry

    -Your reasoning for not liking any of the suggestions is now “emotional”

    -You mentioned being 28 and acted like a C5 would be an accomplishment at your age

     

    I’m going to guess that your budget is actually half of what you state, and/or you are a female. Enjoy your Lincoln MKZ.

  6. - Naples Motorsports - https://www.naplesmotorsports.com/exotic-cars-naples-fl - these guys do periodic (monthly?) Cars&Coffee events with an open house. I've never seen so much amazing metal/carbon fiber in one building. Depending on their inventory it's gotta be one of the singular locations you can just walk into for free and see some serious halo cars. Props to them for being very open to the public.

     

    My brother lives in Naples. I flew down for his wedding last April and stopped by here to drool, and can’t speak highly enough of these guys. I was nervous about how they’d react to me being there with no intentions of buying anything, but they couldn’t have been nicer. I told them right away I was just admiring, they told me to hang out and take as many pictures as I wanted. A couple of the guys talked cars with me for a bit once they realized I had some knowledge about what I was looking at. On that day, some of the more notable cars were a Bugatti Veyron, Spyker C8 Laviolette, Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale, McLaren P1, McLaren 675LT Spider and countless other “normal” exotics.

     

    Last June, I saw the two Corvette C8 prototypes stopped at a light on Main Street here in Jackson and got several photos. Lol

  7. Some good suggestions already. My C5 Z06 wasn’t a daily, but I drove it a good bit and loved every minute of it. You should definitely be able to find a decent one in that price range. S197 would have more modern amenities and a fresher look/feel I’d guess, but worse gas milage if that’s a factor. E55 is a car I’ve always wanted but never picked up. I think they still look great, sound great and would probably be the most comfortable, but not sure about autocross performance.

     

    Something that hasn’t been mentioned yet, B8 S4? Seems like you can find an earlier higher milage one in that range. Those seem to be popular on here so I’m sure you can get some educated opinions.

     

    Really just comes down to what’s most important to you, because everything mentioned so far is very different from one another.

  8. The Prowlers still turn heads, despite being terribly underpowered. I think they look great with the bumpers deleted. With the leaps in technology since they were built and the limited space in the engine bay, it’d be cool to see one with a turbo 4 or 6 cylinder swap.
  9. Why does it have to be purple..ugh

     

    Somebody I follow on IG is doing a Hellcat swap in a 64-65 chevy truck I think.. Can't remember who. Ill edit the post if I find it.

     

    Boris Maryanovsky at Street Machinery in Euclid is building a Hellcat swapped old C10 for Power Tour right now and I think he’s done one before. Might be him you’re thinking of.
