No pictures necessary, nor discouraged. You get one and only one vehicle to use per month. I want to know what vehicle you would choose for each month of the year. The rules are they must be under $60k, and they must all be from different manufacuturers.

In all, you should end up with 12 vehicles from 12 manufacturers. The vehicle must match your needs for the month listed. Let’s see whatcha got, Oppo!

man I have to think of 12 different manufacturers?

Jan - my Toyota MR2 Turbo, because summer and T-tops

Feb - Mazda RX7 (FD) because its still dry enough for RWD and not too warm for heatsoak

Mar - Audi RS4 Avant, don’t care what year
Apr - BMW M5, same as above. would settle for an E30 wagon with M3 bits.

May - Range Rover I guess?

Jun - Subaru Levorg
Jul - Jag E-type (type 1 if I can), cause July is often rainy and fuck you that’s why
Aug - Nissan R33 GT-R because they’re the underatedest
Sep - I dunno, a Studebaker Hawk.
Oct - Jensen Intercepter, because I’m making it up at this point.
Nov - Ford G6E Turbo, because typically I travel alot in Nov
Dec - Holden VE V8 Ute because surfing and whatnot

I’m assuming brand new, the MSRP is in USD, and I can’t have the same manufacturer twice in a year; this is really tough:

January - Jeep Wrangler

February - Subaru WRX STi

March - Ford Focus ST

April - Honda Civic Si

May - Scion FR-S

June - Mazda MX-5 ND

July - BMW M235 Cabrio

August - Porsche Boxster

September - Chevrolet Corvette

October - Lexus GS

November - Infiniti Q70

December - Audi S5

You can see that RWD convertibles are in the summer time and AWD/FWD are in the winter months and those winter-spring transition months. It would really depend on snowy conditions, but the Wrangler would be moved around to whatever month that snow decided to fuck with me the most. I suppose the WRX would be fit for those conditions but I want to be able to give zero fucks about road conditions in a Wrangler for once.

Very nice! Pricing is a bit optimistic, but $60k as a monthly payment would still be within the rules!

Are there even 12 different car companies anymore?

Used Tesla S or new 3

Isuzu Oasis

Vibe GT

VW Taro

S2000

Esprit S4S or Elan M100

Mondial 8

Stagea wagon

Mercedes B200 Turbo manual

Aerio SX

70s German Capri (the cost to import a Focus ST wagon could push it past the 60k limit)

and of course, picking the Toyota entry is the hardest since there are so many awesome ones! Having a hard time deciding between an LS430, Sera, or any one of the other cool JDM cars we never got (but if that’s not allowed, default to the LS430). The Echo RS would work, too, and it’s cool as fuck, sold in Canada so not too many hoops to jump thru. Yeah I know the 3rd gen Camry is the best car ever made, but it’s less relevant when being used only one month out of the year.

Yeah, I tried to get a good mix of special and mundane.

I wanted to get at least two convertibles for the summer, ended up with three straight (Camaro, MX-5, S660), including a kei car.

I also tried to get a couple SUVs, with the Jeep and Porsche as the main priorities, threw in the Caddy and Crosstrek in for good measure.

A pickup truck, RWD sedan, and midsize sedan were musts, hence the Titan, K900, and Camry.

Then, I filled the last two spots with some fun hatches, the Veloster and the highly anticipated Focus RS.

Though, if it wasn’t for the S660 being a Honda, I would have replaced the Camry with an Accord Touring V6, and I could have replaced the Crosstrek with a 2017 RAM 2500 Power Wagon, but pricing for that hasn’t been announced yet.

January - Subaru WRX. A little fun to break up the monotony of winter

February - Volvo XC60. By now I’m just sick of being cold, I want something comfortable and warm.

March - Ford Fiesta ST. Probably not horrible in snow if it happens, but lots of fun to drive with windows down on the nice days we do have.

April - I’m moving this month, so I would pick something like MB Sprinter.

May - Spring weather means convertible time! Miata for May.

June - Not quite crazy hot yet means decent weather for a fun car without modern convenience of AC. A Karmann Ghia for June.

July - Mustang GT. A good fun RWD car.

August - Toyobaru. Fun rwd but with a break from driving a V8 with summer gas prices.

September - Jaguar F-Type. Base model is just a hair over the limit, but it’s my birthday this month so I get to bend the rule and drive what’s probably my favorite car on the new market.

October - 80's Cadillac hearse.

November - Baja Bug. Time to bundle up and have some fun in the snow before I’m sick of it.

December - Fiat 500 Abarth. I generally do a bit of driving this month for gigs, so something fun and good on gas will be nice.

EDIT: Just realized I had to fords. Replace GT with Challenger Scat Pack. Ugh, and 2 VWs. I suck at this game. Replace the Ghia with an Opel GT.

This should be fun! I live a 8 months of the year in Boston and the other 4 in LA. I’m also a 19-year old college student with zero family to lug around, and my commute to my job over the summer is a SoCal canyon road.

January: Subaru WRX STI

February: new Audi Q7 (hey, it starts under 60k!)

March: Volkswagen Golf R

April: new Volvo XC90

May (Back in LA): Porsche Cayman

June: Mazda Miata

August: Chevrolet Corvette C7

September (return to Boston): Jaguar F-TYPE with 0 options (it’s $61,400, can I get a pass?)

October: Chrysler 300C SRT8

November: Mercedes GLA45 AMG

December (in LA): BMW M235i

Life is too short to drive boring cars.
