In my mid 40’s now and really just don’t care about new cars at all any more. 0-60 doesn’t mean anything when SUV’s and trucks are doing <5 seconds now, pretty much any vehicle is more than fast enough for the street. So I now look beyond speed to character and involvement.

I’ve test driven tons of cars but I can’t find anything priced under $50k that gives me the joy of my <3000lbs manual transmission naturally aspirated 300hp I6 bmw. The sound, road feel, and nimble handling just do it for me way more than a 10” touch screen. The only car I was interested to as an upgrade would be a 981 cayman s but the prices jump last year so the extra $ doesn’t correlate to the added performance now.
