Seems like we need one on here to talk cars, mods and the coolness of your or their car.

Interested? Chime in

Get yourself a Jeep.
Look at Wrangler YJ’s, they’re about the cheapest of the ¼ ton Jeeps, give it mild lift and mud tires then go play. You would be amazed at where a stockish Jeep will take you.

Not too interested in a Jeep. I am looking at cars only~ I do have a decent Camaro on my rader in STL and thats it right now. There are a few Mustangs out there but if I can get into an LS car it makes it tough to pull the trigger on a 4.6. Though if I came into a super clean new edge Mustang like some people around here I would be all over it~

Also made some adjustments and now have a budget of up to 7k

Want to spend 5 grand or less, car has to be local to MO, or KC/STL metro areas.

Enthusiast cars only, rough or high miles OK,RWD or AWD only. No rotarys, modified OK, must have fuel injection.

Anyone on the board selling, or know a buddy that is selling something like that? I have scoured craigslist, and lots of enthusiast forums, but havent found that right car yet.

E36 M3 would be one way to go

I have seen several decent looking 3 series etc, but I have a serious aversion to BMW's. Just cant bring myself to do it.

Going to have to be more specific Chief. No one in this thread gives a **** about MPG.

I can't. My 86 might get 5mpg on the highway lol.

I think the new gmc trucks are nice looking and would look better if they didn't all have some huge ****ing ugly badging on them.

Kidd Lex · 05-16-2015, 08:02 PM

Looking for a late model and maybe even brand new truck - want value but not really price sensitive.

Trucks these days are tough because the Dodge is a Dodge - Fords seem premium priced to the tune of $10k - love the Tundra but zero storage space and the tech is outdated - Chevy and GMC are very boxy and not at all sexy but I've never test drove so I'm open minded. The Dodge I test drove was stiff, left me unimpressed.

So I'm looking for a crew max or equivalent late model 4X4 truck that drives relatively like a luxury car and has decent tech. I'm willing to spend around $50k and would love it if you all have opinions on which way you'd go for your money. Thinking I'll drive this truck for the next 4-6 years so value is key.

Thanks in advance.

My 2006 6 cylinder Mustang got 22 MPG highway. My new 2015 car with a 485HP 6.4L engine gets 22 MPG hwy. Engines have come a long way.

Sounds like you want the ford, but want to pay for a dodge.
