I think everyone is overlooking the fact that he will forgo the convertible if the car is sexy enough.

 

You guys don't like ricer, but I am not sure about classic. In my mind, this is a one of a kind and I would treasure having it.

pretty cool, but not up his alley, and yes convertible can be nixed to broaden the choices.

 

+1 on the Saab.

They aren't common enough to fail turning the occational head. Engineered well enough they are generally trouble-free. Have great safety features and ergonomics. And I see mid- to high-20s for MPG with mixed city driving.

 

How is it that not a single person has mentioned the Chrysler LeBaron convertible? Edmunds TMV = $494. For $10k, you can buy twenty of them and simply abandon them at the side of the road when they break down.

 

Funny you should mention it...that is exactly what a buddy and I did back in college...but we only disposed of two.

 

Turbo Volvos. I'm sure coming from a Chrysler product they will seem like the most amazing cars ever made...

You can pick up low mileage S60 Turbos for 6k.

Tell that ******* homo to roll his god damn windows down or put the ******* top up.

 

92ish 240sx convertible? LOl

 

SAAB!

Good gas mileage, respectable, little bit funky and the 9-3's before the GM takeover were pretty reliable.

If he want's to learn what torque steer is tell him to look for the Viggen version.
