The great "What Vehicle Did He Get?" $20 CONTEST

after 7 months of looking i finally got a 2nd vehicle

i will mail $20 cash to the 1st person who correctly guesses what i got

each person is allowed 2 guesses in only 1 post

i'd like to offer some subtle hints but you guys are sharp and i dont want the contest to end immediately

i will say that its not a lease/ very fun to drive/ not expensive

contest runs until theres a winner !

9/27 accepting 2 more guesses each for current thread contributors

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

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

all excellent guesses so far

this "style of thinking" is the closest

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

not a motorcycle or 3 wheeler
