What would your last vehicle be if you had to decide today

[J Alynn]

Since @cyure started with everyone’s first car I’m gonna riff off of it and ask what would your last vehicle be if you had to decide today and keep it until they bury you. Extra points if you share a pic and explain your logic. No right or wrong-just what appeals to your inner car loving soul!

It doesn’t exist.
It would be an updated, modern take on a 1990s Toyota Land Cruiser, FJ62-sized BEV.
It would have 350-400-ish mile range.

Or it would be an MG Cyberster, which does exist; it’s just not available in the US.

They do exist….

The MG EV does exist, but it's not available in the US.
Also, it’s not really my “dream” car. I’d just enjoy a 2-door electric roadster.

The Scout Traveler is today’s closest example of a modern Land Cruiser FJ62 BEV.

If Toyota pulls their CEOs’ heads out of the dark, dank place they’ve been storing them and releases a price-competitive BEV Land Cruiser, I might be tempted away from Scout. Especially if the LC has better dimensions.

Oh, that’s easy. If I was given terrible news or something and I had to choose from cars on the market right now, I’d want a Rivian R1T quad so I could fill that magical hidey hole full of maximum whimsy and doing the cool destructive spinning thing. Also, I’d perhaps start a side hustle of clearing out storage units or just go do fun stuff or write a heartfelt letter to RJ Scaringe telling him about my insider knowledge of what food trucks he probably ate at as a graduate student so he should 100% just give it to me outright or deeply discounted because in this theoretical situation I’m going to die anyhow, so he can probably get it back.

A 1957 Thunderbird. I had a chance to buy one in the early ‘70’s for $3600. For lack of the money and a place to garage it… it slipped away. I did get to drive it tho. Felt like a bigger car than it was, i thought that was a plus, not a negative.

I don't know that I could pick just one. However, when I read this post the first thing that came to mind was this pair.
The 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S Hybrid in coupe and cabriolet form.

I already own it, though it would need some work to be reliable as a daily again after 19 years. 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon that I bought new.

I was kidding. I know they exist and was bummed they are coming. Those pics were from a dealer in London when I was there in March. Was excited to see them in person. Always wanted a perfect open top touring vehicle

The owner of Lancaster Archery where my daughter had trained has one (I don’t think he’s sold it). It’s an ice blue-ish color and man does the engine sound amazing.

That is right up my alley and why not have a pair.

 

[J Alynn]

Mine would be the Porsche 728 sportster. Because if a convertible is only somewhat practical a sportster completely misses the practical mark but it would be a tone of fun. Sagly though I like the white but I know the colors were very limited

 

[TigerEyeJazz]

Tough question honestly… if I had to choose it would be a Ford Ranger Raptor. Always loved those trucks.

 

[cyure]

Good question, but a tough question. I’m still thinking….

Does budget come into play here? I have a coupe of expensive vehicles I’d love to have, bit the first that comes to mind is well north of $100,000. I’ve always loved the AEV Ram Prospector XL on 40” tires, but that comes with a huge payout (hence why I’ve never bought one). That said, I can’t imagine not having my TRX in the fleet. The TRX by far has been my favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned. It does everything I want (other than get reasonable fuel economy). For now, I’ll stick with my TRX, but a truck on 40’s makes my inner 12 year old giggle!

I say both. What you could own and sky’s the limit you won the lottery. I’m still thinking.

Smaller, practical, acceleration beast and can go almost anywhere. Great choice

No budget-where’s the fun of that. Maybe some day we should do a couple threads-favorite car between $35-$45k, $45-60k,60-75, 75-100 and then over $100K ?

The Ranger Raptor is pretty cool.
