After a couple of recent significant deaths in the family, I'm deciding to adopt YOLO in the most positive way possible. I'm not going to live forever and if I'm going to do silly things then ideally I should do them while I'm able to enjoy it...
Travel isn't really my thing and I love my job - so disappearing off-grid and travelling the world for a year isn't a goer...
I don't have kids or a partner, but I love my cats and I love cars... There's only so much you can spend on cats before people start looking at you sideways, so that leaves cars.
I have a fun track car and a fun CRX but neither are at all suitable for a daily... My current daily is a very sensible, pretty fast Skyline SUV.
So with YOLO in mind, I'm looking for something that will make me grin every time I get in it, even if it's just to go to the supermarket... I'm not generally a fan of V8s and I generally prefer small cars.
Looking for inspiration... At the moment I have 3 cars on my shortlist
- Fiat 500 Abarth (Test driving one today - but I have rented one before for a week in Italy)
- Nissan 370Z
- R35 GTR
The R35 is probably at the top of my budget and if I was going to spend anything like that it would need to be on a car that won't depreciate too much more.
Anyone got anything to add to the list? Gotta be fun, gotta be reasonably fast, should NOT be viewed by most people as a sensible daily driver.
Cheers - N
