2nd- Scion FRS

[NYC-SE]

I think Phoebe Cates would be fun to drive. I see she's already in your garage. Take her out for a spin.

[NYC-SE]

1. Miata
2. Vintage 240Z

[justanotherdrunk]

drove the frs and the new miata is sooo sweet

both great guesses

[ern-diz]

This post is amazing. Completely threw me off with the, not a lease, fun to drive and not expensive piece. Miata and FRS/86/BRZ are great guesses, but if they're not it, then this just got even more interesting. I can think of a number of cars, but I'm trying to balance what I've learned about your tastes from your previous posts with what this new car might be. Very challenging. I want to win not for the $20, but just for the sake of winning lol. My two guesses are:

1. Late 90's/Early 2000's Corvette
2. BMW 1 Series

[WeeYari]

Going to go way out in left field here on the chance he is really messing with us and it isn't even a car.

1. Raptor 3 wheeler
2. Slingshot 3 wheeler

Activating Sherlock mode....

1) The question clearly states "what vehicle"
2) Nowhere in the original post nor in the OP's subsequent replies is the word "car" specified. On the other hand, the OP mentioned "fun to drive" and not "fun to ride". Intentionally done to mislead us?
3) WeeYaris' suggestion of 3-wheelers was not shut down completely
4) The width of the overlay in the original picture indicates it's not a very wide vehicle
5) The shadows on the floor and back wall of the garage do not indicate a large mass
6) The bicycle frame in the back of the garage indicates the OP is no stranger to 2-wheeled transportation
7) The reflections on the left wall of the garage hint at a good amount of chrome

I therefore deduce, my dear Watson, the vehicle in question is some sort of classic motorcycle

[WeeYari]

So ern-diz is on the right track with early model something. You've caused my head to hurt today. Hopefully you will trickle out more clues such as domestic/import.

[justanotherdrunk]

i dont think its small but in todays market would be considered small

So your new "old" car is an auto? ... how can you put auto and fun in one sentence combined with cheap :iono: old autos are boring and slow
I'm confused i defenitely thought it was going to be a manual, but now i'm not sure anymore :confused:

What about my guesses? lol. Didn't reply to it.

[Captain Yaris]

In all seriousness, Toyota TRD Truck? Maybe one to carry a bicycle?

[DiCaprio]

In all seriousness, Toyota TRD Truck? Maybe one to carry a bicycle?

We discussed earlier that the car is small and doesn't have a lot of mass.
So i guess it's not a truck

[Dodge Aries K]

Tesla Roadster

If not that, what about Porsche Cayman?

[Whiplash]

Camaro/Firebird
or
Hardtop MR2?

had a 90 IROC and 2000 Z28

no

[Whiplash]

Im pretty sure I got it. I'll try again tomorrow.

[DiCaprio]

Renault Twizy

How many guesses per day?
Did 2 yesterday, but we agreed on 1 per day after the first guess didn't we?

[DiCaprio]

Wait i just read the front page, so 2 guesses :D
Also the Twizy is only sold in Europe right... so i wasted one guess.
I'll come back later if i can think of a car.

[DiCaprio]

Whatever imma go for another oddball :iono:

You got yourself an electric Quad/ATV

Actually i think you went with something early 2000 american V8, but i'm not familiar with those.
I life at the other side of the pond...

[justanotherdrunk]

Renault Twizy

How many guesses per day?

correct but i increased it to 2

[justanotherdrunk]

used

cost < the yaris

[justanotherdrunk]

much quicker than the yaris yet lower top speed

[ern-diz]

I thought I was going to get it with Mustang and you shot that down.

Then thought, has to be a Camaro, but you shot that down.

Then you say...

much quicker than the yaris yet lower top speed

...and now I'm really lost lol. I have about 4 in mind, but since I have to narrow it down to just 2, I'll go with:

1. BMW 2002
2. VW Passat

[DiCaprio]

I still think it's an electric quad :bonk:

Small, light, quick acceleration, slow top speed, cheap, rwd, direct drive = no manual

I ticked every box :help:
I'm lost too ern

[ern-diz]

He's made it tough, but it's fun. The anticipation is great. It's probably going to be something we all thought of, but didn't say lol.

[justanotherdrunk]

carbon fiber

[justanotherdrunk]

apropos

reading back thru the thread ...

... an important clue being ignored

[justanotherdrunk]

hatchback

[DiCaprio]

Yeha you said it's not a convertible. So i guess my quad doesn't work

[justanotherdrunk]

1. BMW 2002 on track
2. VW Passat off track

[justanotherdrunk]

Yeha you said it's not a convertible. So i guess my quad doesn't work

yet a component of your quad guess is correct

Loved the leased i3 so much that you bought one.

[DiCaprio]

Actually an i3 isn't cheaper than a Yaris. So what in the world is your vehicle

:biggrin:

[ern-diz]

^I thought that too, but...

:biggrin:

Also, him hinting at my guesses of early 90s/late 2000s Corvette and BMW 2002 being on the right track makes me think it has to be something significantly older than the i3.

one of the clues was "used"

[ern-diz]

Haha, damn it, I was totally going to say that, but again, didn't think it qualified given price and hints at older cars being more on-track.

Again, great post. This was fun :clap:

[justanotherdrunk]

test drove many cars and for the price nothing comes close

its simply and easily the best daily driver city car ive ever driven

$16K otd for a cpo in like new condition with an additional year warranty for a stupid cheap price

i know some of you hate the styling

:middlefinger:

So, congrats! Give us the deets and pics...

I would have thought the yaris would be the DD.

[DiCaprio]

When you said one component of my quad guess was right i knew it would a a direct drive/electric vehicle. So i3 was kind of a no brainer from that.

I'm still wondering how you got an i3 cheap thought. The cheapest used ones cost around 26k dollars in Germany.

[justanotherdrunk]

here high mileage but nice examples can be had for $13K for the base car
