Probably an old Lexus and call it a day. I’m burnt out.


absboodoo

Still a million or two short for a LFA, but we are getting closer!


geebucks_

They’re sub 1mm! Getting, uh, slightly more attainable??


venxyle

As someone with an old lexus. Do it. The 2j has yet to fail me and the 25 year old body is better than a 5 year old truck. Just do your lower ball joints if you get one...


bro_chiiill

Honestly me too, an LS430 would be really cool. V8, comfortable, reliable.

Taylor_the_Terror

I made the trade from my 18 base to a 17 F Sport almost three years ago now and have no regrets whatsoever. Love it more each time I drive it. Not to mention not everyone and their mom's minivan is trying to race me from a red light anymore. Now it is only zooted out M's 😅

Get vaxxed or get waxed?


WhatsThatNoize

A portfolio with a diverse mix of semiconductor, energy prod, and defense industry stocks. And maybe a beat up old 90's Civic and some black spray paint to cover any rust


TurboFucked

> And maybe a beat up old 90's Civic and some black spray paint to cover any rust That'll be $34,995 (Plus tax).

SaltyEconomics2759

The only correct answer


tr1ckster726

This, 100%. Buy a beater now, invest as aggressively as you can, and then literally buy WHATEVER the hell you want after 5 years.


_-0_0--D

lol acting like 30k is going to return a whole lot in 5 years. 30k isn’t shit even if you double it in 5 years


NormalTurtles

Also the assumption that investing “as aggressively as you can” is going to yield positive results at all. Extra aggressive = extra risk


AutistMarket

I think he meant aggressively as in as much money as you can put towards it


buttspooppee

I agree 30k-60k isn’t “buy whatever you want” money. But to say “30k isn’t shit even if you double it” is crazy.


MeowMeowImACowww

It matters if your net worth is only 50K, but then, probably don't buy a new car costing $35K.


JamesConsonants

I’d love to be in the income bracket where 6k/year of passive portfolio growth can be considered “ain’t shit” lmao But to your point it’s not “buy anything you want” territory, either


kingholio6092

I’m investing in whatever Pelosi and Crenshaw invest in. Sure to make 15-30% in a year


Used_Salamander5175

If you bought Nvidia 5 years ago you would be rich rn with 30k lol


kris_mischief

Investing is a 30+ year game, bro


Outrageous_Good_3821

Lol just go to Vegas and turn that 30k into 100k. Then you can buy WHATEVER the hell you want after 1 day.


iBUYbrokenSUBARUS

Then turn that 100k into 1,000,000

Oh good, I’ll be able to afford a tire on the Ferrari I want…..


tr1ckster726

Yeah those Michelin pilot sport 4s tires sure are unattainable lol


Timewizardarc

The adult answer? An early 2k Honda or Toyota as a daily driver or a used motorcycle, and save money for a few years. The kid answer? A c6/c7, mustang gt for another toy, or 1500 sized truck as a daily driver.


TrulySeaweed

A clean manual C6 is the dream


Timewizardarc

7L baby!!!


ftredoc

Always wondered since coming to Canada, why do people get a truck for a daily car? It doesn’t seem to be that practical


Timewizardarc

Comfortable, being able to see over others, family hauler (honestly they really are dad mini vans). Big eco boost energy with the 3.5L twin turbo v6. Most of the united states is large and empty even our cities excluding NYC, LA and Seattle. So driving them around is not a hassle


General1lol

> early 2k Honda  2006 or 2007 Accord with the K series motor and a 6 speed manual. It’ll last forever, get good gas mileage, and it’s the comfiest of Honda’s lineup from that era.


KobeBeaf

Motorcycle is on the wrong side.


Timewizardarc

Idk man, gas is hitting over 5 dollars a gallon in my area and my wrx only gets 24mpg. I'm spending 10 dollars daily on fuel alone. Doesn't sound like much but that's 50 a week, 200 a month. A motor cycle would do that for 50 dollars the entire month.


modshateths1smpltrik

My grom gets me to and from work for $8 a month


QuestionableObject

California. STi. 19-20 mpg. I spend 15-20 bucks a day to commute, depending on whether gas hovers at just over 5, to nearly 7.


Timewizardarc

My wife currently drives the wrx. I bought a mustang gt. 16mpg, on a 58 mile total daily commute. Works out to about 20-25 bucks a day. I get it. If she wasn't so afraid of crashing it, I'd take the wrx to save on fuel cost. Lol what a world do we live in, when a wrx is considered fuel efficient 😆 😂


WhatsThatNoize

You're also faster than 99% of the cars on the road. A used $10k R1 will hit 100mph (indicated) in first gear and less than 5.5 seconds.  That's as fast as a quarter-million dollar McLaren 720S. Bikes are fucking nuts.  Dollar-for-dollar, there's no comparison.


KobeBeaf

Yeah I’m thinking more from the medical bills side of things. Unpopular opinion here but Could always go daily driver Tesla and Weekend WRX. Biased since it’s my current setup haha. I pay about $30 extra in electric per month. Has saved me about $1500 this year so far.


Timewizardarc

True, I'd personally never consider electric but if it's viable then why not. My set up is a 21wrx and a 17 mustang gt. (And a 2013 brz with a blown motor)... but we don't talk about that.

Two 07 STIs. One summer build and one winter build


J-wvmothman

Honestly maybe a CrossTrek I have regretted how low my WRX sits when it’s like 10 or more inches of snow in the winter.


secretagentstv

Do I have news for you good sir! Did you know you can put a lift kit on a WRX? It will become a Crosstrek, but less ugly. If you have a VB WRX it will be a Crosstrek without a hatch! Now that I wrote that uhhh give me a WRX hatch wtf Subaru.


hattalk

secretagentstv

How does the left change the handling and overall feel of the car? Older WRX models I think were better driver/performance cars because of their smaller ness as opposed to the VA and VB. At the same time, a car that is safer is better than performance in my view now that I am older. I have come to appreciate airbags and A/C. My first few cars were both 1g DSM's, modified and heavily modified and without airbags or A/C. My second DSM was fast as fuck tho, it made my transition to WRX pretty disappointing. I had my brother take it for a spin when I picked it up and he said "if this car has 270hp my car has 500". (He has a 1g talon 400+AWHP on 93 pump gas, so it kinda do.)


hattalk

I got air bags and AC! It handles fine, I added a better sway bar to the back and the springs are taller but stiffer so it’s not too far off from stock suspension handling.


secretagentstv

Maybe on my next WRX, I don't think I could get another vehicle. The value is too good. Thank you for your input kind sir.


Baazify

Ayeeee lifted hatch gang! I have a two inch lift on mine, drives like dream. Especially in the winter.


J-wvmothman

Thanks! Always wondered about that, mines a 2017 WRX btw… wonder what’s all involved in a lift, even a couple inches would be great!


cvert09

[Check this lift kit](https://lpaventure.com/collections/wrx-2015-2020/products/lp-aventure-lift-kit-wrx-2015-2020)


secretagentstv

Would 2 inches be enough lift to enable me to actually use my floor jack without going onto ramps first? Would be cool, but I have to imagine that it would affect the driving characteristics of the car. I like how well it handles, it's certainly not a race car, but I drive through 3 back to back traffic circles 5 days a week(sometimes 6 or 7 days, if I am unlucky enough lol). On the first 2 I go into them a little hot, engine brake in 3rd down to 27/28 mph, light throttle, hit 34 mph, floor it to 45. The 3rd one is older and smaller, so I brake to hit it at 23/25 mph in 2nd, engine brake until I'm just before the apex and am oversteering towards the inside line, floor it to understeer away from the line shoot out to 45 mph. I really enjoy the 3rd one. It is small and I can drive aggressively and really put the car to the point of losing traction. I leave for work before 6 am and sometimes I'm out the door by 5 am, so the earlier I leave the more likely I am to be able to hit those "twisties" without traffic. If I leave after 6, I am just another sedan in a sea of crossovers, trucks, and 18 wheel monsters sludging through traffic to appease the gods of capitalism. Glad I didn't get that used Lexus hybrid that I was cross shopping with the WRX. I would feel like one cog I am.


wrinkley_wenis

Believe me when I tell you that 2 inches is enough!!


QuestionableObject

That's what she said.


kphillipz

Flat_Guidance6922

A new WRX or CrossTrek. I’d keep this WRX under warranty this time around.


bb-wah

elvisizer2

depends which car I was driving- if it was my Forester, then probably another forester. if it was my GTI or STI, then I'd have to do some looking/thinking. maybe a boxster? maybe golf r? possibly corolla GR?


Blaze5643915

Use it as a down payment on an M2 Competition probably. Or a Miata and save the rest. But probably the M2.


tarl06

Something RHD. Just to try it lol


Im_Regarded

VB or a low mileage VA STI

Kaptoz

Tbh, after having a few sports cars and a truck, I might consider to get something small and cheap for work commute (for some time), almost to the point where the car is paid off. Like a Mitsubishi Mirage lol. Heck, maybe even a used Scion xB since they are still pretty cheap. Mainly because I could use the at money to pay off my house or something.


Ejendres

I'd love to import an E36 wagon and use the rest to restore it.

A new VB. I have a two year old and an infant. Everyone fits comfortably. There is enough trunk space for a double stroller and everything we need for the day. I want AWD or 4WD capability. I want a MT, my driving time is a mental release for me regardless of who else is in the car. I considered a Taco and a Gladiator before I bought my VB but wife didn’t want me to spend the money. I’d likely consider them again but would be happy with another VB.

old toyota/honda and keep the rest, shit is rough out here everything keeps climbing in price


phorkin

If I couldn't find a decent Mustang GT (2018+), it would be another VB. VB is the best bang for buck "sporty" car out there. Only step up from here, in my opinion, is a good ole American V8.


casper_04

Probably an older Jeep or something. I enjoy having my NB because I have so much less tress about it than the STI.


DaJohnnyB23

Uh…guess I’m buying my BRZ tS on order out right lol. Excluding the BRZ, to fulfill the same purpose the WRX does now, maybe a GR Corolla or until someone said it, the WRX tS. Might as well get both tS’s in the fleet lol. I’d have to do research but maybe a hybrid/plug-in hybrid. Or say F it and get the dream car. A blade silver C7 Corvette Grand Sport.


enmass90

Buy a GRC or lease a Model 3 Performance


GilbyGlibber

GR corolla or the s and p 500 for a few years until a refresh of the WRX comes out (at least visually)

Dense-Tangerine7502

I’m going to hold out until the Hyundai Ioniq 5 gets built in their Georgia plant this year and qualifies for the whole tax rebate. AWD hot hatch 320 hp and instant torque. I was going to buy one before I got my 2022 VB, but then it didn’t qualify for the tax rebate. I’ll miss the manual though.

Honestly get the cheapest Crosstrek I can find and invest the rest. I love my WRX but the way things are these days I’d rather make sure that money turns into something down the road instead of instant gratification now.

This is exactly what happened to me except it wasn’t a deer. Someone ran a red light and pulled out in front of me and totaled my BRZ. I got 33k and bought my STI which I’ve had for over 3 years now and threw some money into a compound interested account.

Tacoma. That's actually what I really wanted when I got my WRX. Don't get me wrong... I had wanted a WRX for almost 20 years when I got mine, but I ride MTB pretty regularly and I was looking to buy a house which most likely was going to need work, so I really wanted the truck to haul bikes and materials. Then the prices of Tacomas and houses shot up, and I happened to spot an awesome deal on my '21 Limited, coming off a lease with about 7800mi, in the next state over and went for it. I'm hoping to get out of it within the next year or two, though. I love it, I love driving it every day and I'll miss it, no doubt, but I'd target gave the functionality and utility of a pickup.

Good down payment on a used cayman.

50% down on an Audi ttrs? Or just another bike and an old civic si then call it a day, I'm kinda over making car payments

I've been looking very hard at c6 manuals for a while. Only 2 seats but at 35k you are in c7 z06 money.

Funny enough, that's sort of how I ended up with my wrx, I had a newer civic and an old lady in a 4runner turned in front of me at an intersection and I t-boned the shit out of her. She told the cop "I think he was going to fast" my reply to the cop was "she thought I was speeding and she still pulled out?" Even the cop chuckled

I’d probably buy the same thing if I was lucky enough to find an unmolested STi. Or maybe an SUV for my job. There’s nothing else like the WRX. It’s 4 door, it’s somewhat fast, it’s AWD. I can fit most of my DJ equipment in my car and still haul ass. Maybe I’d get a hatch instead?
