Jim, like many of us in the current situation, has experienced significant relief in his travels.You need to take this opportunity to unleash your smart daily driving force, but it’s not exciting for something less expensive and more fun.What car did you buy?
(Welcome back, which car do you buy? Where we provide other people with genuine recommendations about buying cars.)
Here’s the scenario:
My journey has gone from 180 miles per day to 0, probably forever, so I need to upgrade my 2018 Ford Focus with anything that’s so expensive and twice as fun.The audio sync formula is annoying, when it works.I think I can sell the Focus for about $12,000 and update it with something much less expensive and more enjoyable.Practical considerations such as fuel intake and fixed prices are less important now, as the upgrade car will basically be located on the driveway Monday through Friday, with weekend use to buy food and an occasional drive.
I’m regularly open to anything, but I don’t need another Ford because infotainment was painful.In fact, anything more “old school” with less generation would be better.
Budget: up to $10,000
Daily driver: really
Location: Portland, Maine
Wants: fun, simple, cheap
I don’t need: Ford
Jim, it’s usually me who’ll tell you to get something “reasonable,” but it turns out you want to replace things and, since you don’t want to rely on that trip for a commute, you can be a little more adventurous.

I will be inspired by my colleagues and recommend that you get anything JDM and fun.A quick look at Duncan Imports shows a ton of Honda Beats, but a convertible would probably not be the most productive selection for Maine winters.However, this 1991 Mitsubishi Dangan ZZ looks like a beep.It has a five-speed manual transmission, with a three-cylinder turbo, and only about 62,000 miles.Take an internal look and it’s very basic, there’s no misleading information to frustrate you anymore, although I think you can also upgrade the main unit to any Bluetooth-enabled device.
Giving $10,000 for a car of about 30 years is rarely very cheap, however, it is difficult to value having something exclusive and enjoyable.
I’m getting where you came from, man. A fairly large Ford would probably not turn each and every one into the locust and craft shop (or the people of Portland at all) an exciting adventure.The most cost-effective solution is probably Array …to have many adventures in your Focus!You can exploit five or ten thousand dollars in the Team O’Neil Rally School categories and rallycross records and your humble Ford will feel like a rocket.
What to learn at a one-day rally school
However! If you need a new, comfortable and practical car that feels like you have soul, a spark of excitement every time you leave your parking space, just get one of the Toyobaru Twins.Here’s an FR-S with five-digit fenders (the trader only asks for $8,500) that he could honestly pick up if he was in town and had the scratch.
I just spent a minute navigating Portland Maine CL and you have many smart features nearby, but at that moment, a car, in particular, marked me: this Falcon 68, driving an old American car every day, practically worthless, is not for everyone, however I advance you to give it at least a whirlpool to see if you have any left.
This turns out to be in good condition, driving force and deserves to be undeniable to maintain.You said you didn’t need another Ford, but I don’t think the infotainment formula deserves to cause you too much trouble.
