Help Me Choose My Next Car!

Hello, humans of CarThrottle!

As many of you know, I’ve spent the last few months writing about – and making mediocre YouTube videos with – my Hummer and my Nissan Skyline GT-R. Now that I’ve sold them, it’s time for you to help me choose a new car to write about next year.

Hello, humans of CarThrottle!

As many of you know, I’ve spent the last few months writing about – and making mediocre YouTube videos with – my Hummer and my Nissan Skyline GT-R. Now that I’ve sold them, it’s time for you to help me choose a new car to write about next year.

You can check out my criteria over on my Jalopnik column or in my YouTube video above, but I’m going to list the rules here, too. I’ll be paying attention to suggestions from CarThrottle users, and they’ll be going on my master list of car ideas that I’ll choose from.

  1. Budget. The car shouldn’t cost more than $60,000, or maybe $65,000 for the perfect car.

  2. Interest. I cannot stress this point enough: This car has to be something that you’re interested in hearing about for a while. The Hummer seemed to captivate everyone’s interest, week in and week out, for almost a year. On the other hand, some people complained a little about the Skyline. So before you send in your suggestion, ask yourself: Is this something I want to hear about for a year?

  3. Cost. Although I’ve already covered the budget, cost is almost more important: the car cannot lose an insane amount of value over the next year. What I mean by this is, I cannot buy the car today for $50,000 and sell it in a year for $19,500 – that’s too expensive. Sadly, this rule eliminates virtually all new cars.

With these rules in mind, start suggesting some cars here on CarThrottle, on Twitter, or just about anywhere else you can find me! What do you want to hear about for the next year??

Go for something totally different - get a classic muscle car. 60s, the true, raw cars. And their value only goes up. #DougCar

Get a Volvo 240, preferably a bit ‘’busted out’’ or ‘’project-ish’’, because i wanna hear about a project car, the process, the time it actually takes to do something, your commitment toward cars and what the heck you’re gonna do with it!
Definitely gotta take it to a track some day

Pretty much up there with the top list of boring cars. Boring in every way.

I’m definitely a Nissan fanboy (obviously) but I’m going to go with the old First-gen Honda/Acura NSX, if possible, or maybe a Subaru 22b STI, or maybe even an old Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, maybe a III or a VII

Are there any TVR’’s old enough to be imported? They are a cool car and I assume there aren’t many in America… Most people probably won’t even know what a TVR is.
