Yeah even a mid trim RAM makes a F150 Platinum look like a tarted up Sentra.
It’s interior quality, materials, etc is that good.

My issue with pickups is actually braking:
6000lbs on all terrain 275s is kinda sketch at 140kmh or around a corner.

Heard hurricane blows dicks for any real use - it’s up 200hp from Hemi but tow rating is down cuz they can’t cool them properly.

Expectation for performance and emissions is gonna kill Nissan/Stellantis.

Some other manufactures will get saved - GM, Hyundai, BMW make banger EVs but awful gas cars.

Toyota? Man their trucks are blowing engines/trans and their EVs also suck

Realistic .... my prius prime

If given enough time to prep for once in a life time road trip.... hopefully a 911 that still has 3 pedals... (ie save up like crazy and make smart choices and be ready to do it when I retire lololol) Hopefully gas is not $10/L or $35/gallon lolollolololol this is just stupid talk... but honestly will be a 997.2 GTS... just modern enough to have bluetooth, but old enough to be a 911... plus this is the gen that I grew up with.... this was my desktop background for the longest time...



Yes yes yes I know this is not a GTS lololol, I wouldnt want a GT3 RS for road trip anyways... and honestly, its just out of reach~

=======================================


Unrealistic OR win LOTTO tmrw... The 812 GTS... top down for the good weather, roof up for bad weather, u-turn for snow.... LOL.... NA V12 that max output @ 8500 but will rev out to 9000

It is a "grand tourer" per Ferrari, I know its not comfortable, but its the theater and drama.

I acutally like the looks of the F12 better, but no way I am putting that much miles on a limited-series drop top F12 lololol, the 812 GTS will just be cheaper to run and technically more reliable~~

================================================== =================

Or you know....


But be dammed my first prancing horse be a SUV lolol

Ok my choices.

GR Corolla
Pro's
Manual so it's fun to drive
AWD so It can handle snow no problem
It's a Toyota so if it was problems it won't be hard to find a shop to fix it.

Con's
Interior could be better
Sound system sucks but that can be fixed

Used R35 GTR

Pro's
150 more HP than the GR
AWD so great in snow

Cons

Not a manual
Might be hard to find a used one that's not beat on

Why used because it's not worth 200k plus for a new one.

If money's no issue and I can pick any car... the most realistic would be the recently discontinued Acura NSX.

It's super fun to drive, reliable so that I'm not worried breaking down in the middle of nowhere and the seating in for relatively long period (I was in for 2 days) was decent enough that my back wouldn't hate me.

People sleep on this car to this day, but honestly it's a performance bargain... supercar if not hypercar numbers with a small amount of tuning (charge pipes + exhaust) and they're relatively cheap save for the final production year which go for almost twice the earlier ones.

Bought my G90 for exactly this. Big comfy, NA V8, quiet interior, good audio, big trunk, openpilot equipped. Drove to Vegas and California a few times and it's been great.

If money isn't an issue, RR Wraith

It’s still 200k?!! Than it’s stupid. That interior is garbage for a 200k car.

I got a hankering for a lucid sapphire air recently. Haven’t tried it yet but all the reviewers love it.
