    My wife says I already have mine.............. I say differently ;-) Saving my Pennies. Am leaning towards a C3 Vette project, but currently have a lead on a 944 S2. We will see......

    I bought this in 2020, and love it. First and ONLY Ford. Will go to my grandson (pictured) when he finishes college or tech school.

    I have been putting a lot of thought into this thread. Unless I sell the crawler or build a shop, probably won't do much for a retirement vehicle in CO. Hard part is my kids will start driving in a few years and I need to figure that out. With the hail being bad here...leaving vehicles outside is a risky and expensive game to play.

    I will probably drop down to one vehicle (truck) for a few years until we both retire and plan on moving. Then it might be time for a new truck...

    Still might squeeze in a big block Nova/chevelle resto-mod car for reasonable.

    Maybe. I really don't need that specific trim package....like I would be rock crawling a 90k dollar truck. :rofl:

    Might be good for some long distance trips that require decent tire/suspension packages.

    96k. If I had not purchased the Lexus, it would be 200k miles in 7 years. :eek2:

    That is mainly towing rocks/boulders, soil, crawlers, and tractor. I have some long distance towing trips too.

    I always wanted an Audi R8 convertible, but man those are some coin. Both my Tundra and my Saturn Sky are 2007s. However, the Sky looks more like a Vette and Viper had a baby. It's been under construction for 7+ years as I opted to pull the 2.4L I supercharged in it and put in an LS3. I hoping to have that wrapped up this year, so I can enjoy it again.

    I'm hoping my 22 Sierra HD is my retirement truck. Will definitely upgrade our small TT.

    We'll probably keep an EV on hand as a daily. Right now it's a model 3. We have considered springing for something sportier, like a Model S Plaid, after the Model 3 bites the dust. No plans to get rid of the 4runner, but may pass it off to my son.

    I think when we retire we will downgrade a lot of things. The plan is to move to a smaller, easier to maintain home and spend our golden years traveling. Some of that will be driving around this and adjacent countries, some of that will be air travel.

    Retirement is a hoax, much like social security. I'll just work until I'm dead.

    I can see myself upgrading to a new truck in 2026...maybe.

    Check out the EV Jags. Have a buddy that purchased one for his wife. They really like it.

    Yup. It was fun to drive with the SC’d 2.4L. 312whp 352lb-ft. An iron block LS3 will be that much more fun. Running a staggered wheel setup with 20s in the rear and 19s up front. Need rubber to put down the HP. Maybe I’ll SC it later down the road.
