    Car or Truck for 10 years? Can it include a nice trailer too because I'm gonna have to say a tow vehicle The question is how serious of a vehicle? A full-size 4 door pickup with an open trailer, a toterhome with large enclosed trailer, or an all out semi truck with a huge trailer?

    This would do me just fine for 10 years. Got a shop with a lift just feet from your living area...and can go anywhere and take 2, 3, or even 4 cars with you









    OR even this but i'd rather have a fifth wheel trailer just for easier mobility...

    probably a type R integra, cause its cheaper than a new car that wont be worth half its original value 10 years from now. and maintenance is never a prob for me if its a honda/acura. only thing good about new cars of today, is that it gives me some cheap car to buy 10 years from now. hell ide even take a 99 civic si for the next 10 years. but i know only one, so the type r

    Who says I have to have a house payment One day i'll have a few cars that aren't so street legal and will need a way to get them to the track along with a comfortable place for everyone to hang out and work on the cars

    Then if I were to come across a bunch of money to play with it sounds like a great life to me, call your bro up..."yo, running the car at Laguna Seca in a month...bring yours over and we'll stop by VIR, Road America, and Pikes Peak on the way!"

    ah ****, i just realized this said "one and only" as in no other cars, my bad. If there was any vehicle i had to daily drive for 10 years it would be a larger Mercedes sedan.

    ...and I do believe i'd choose the Brabus Rocket

    E36 M3 sedan.

    Fast, low key, relatively reliable if kept up with, stellar handling, rwd, and useful with four doors. About as all around good as it gets, esp. to keep for 10 years.
