**The Ultimate Car List: A Fun Ride Through Luxury and Practicality**

So, you're Nolan. That means you're on Team Low. I don't know what that would be like, but I am empathetic. And I do want to help everybody out.

When it comes to luxury cars, there's one example that stands out - the Infiniti G35. It's the exact same car as the 350Z, with the same engine and transmission. But, unlike its more expensive counterpart, it's a real wheel-drive car. And if you leave it stock, it still can be cool. Put some nice wheels on it and get it by a good exhaust, and it's a fun car to have.

However, there's one thing to keep in mind: there's probably a lot of not very nice examples out there. A lot of them have been crashed on. So, do your research and check the mail.

Let's take a look at what we found in Sylmar.

Hey, it's clean. I like this one. How many miles does it have? 155. That's not too bad. The seats are a little damage, but it's manual. That's great. Stock wheels are on it. See, this is a good car.

Yeah, $8,300. He kept it real short. Fun, reliable sounds great.

I mean, even though like technically on paper, it might be better than some of these. I agree. Well, let's crank up the Hersh Persh Justin, what do you buy if you want a Hell Cat but you can't afford an 84-month loan with 32% APR?

You go back to 2008 and you buy the closest thing to a Hell Cat. You're talking about the Chrysler 300 SRT8. The Rolls Royce of Detroit. One of our own, one of Donut's favorite sons.

Our post producer Joseph just bought himself a 2008 SRT8 because he needed a sensible car for his baby. His has a sub in it. It's the funniest thing I've ever seen. Apparently, "sensible" means having 425 horsepower and a tinted windshield. And like I said, tons of shoes to rock the baby to sleep.

Here's the thing: you paid less than $10 grand for it. These aren't as easy to find as some of the other cars on this list, but it is definitely the cheapest SRT8 that you can find.

And I remember when the 300 came out and they're cool. Yeah, they're really cool. They still are. That's the thing. And it matches everything that Chargers have. And it's the same thing really. Except a little bit nicer.

I think I'm gonna rock the world right now (Ground shaking sound) and put it above with Del Sol and Porsche.

Which brings us to our final car, which might be the least practical one on this list but we're not here to talk about practical vehicles all day. We're here to talk about fun vehicles, and nothing is more fun than a Chevy Corvette.

The cheapest Chevy Corvette is the C4. Engine options in these bad boys range from 200 horsepower all the way up to 330 (Justin overwhelms) smoking. And it's got one of the most quintessential Corvette bodies ever. This is the Barbie car. You can spend a lot of money on a C4 Corvette, but if you don't care about things like comfort, you can find really cheap ones.

Let's take a look at this one that we found for $9,500. These are cool. They're dope. Dude, I love with Corvettes like you open the hood the cool way. Cool seats look very adjustable.

Hmm. C4 Corvette. I know these are kind of difficult to work on but besides that, I agree they're the most slept on Corvette. They have some of the coolest wheels - little razor blades - Saw blades. They have saw blades and salad shooters. I think these are pretty cool.

I think it's dope. It's got the popup lights. It's retro right now. That's a really nice one for $9,500. You can buy and beat up for much less. Where will you put it though? Definitely better than BMW. You put it high. Oh man.

And on that bomb shell.

One's an automatic.For the true believers,get one while they are hot.Needs a little TLC,but nothing that a thousanddollars are so bucks can fix.- So it's a six grand car, okay.- Pretty firm on the price, can negotiate.but also no low ballers.- Don't low ball me bro.I'm firm on the price, but I'll negotiate.(Groans)So one of our Donut undergroundmembers in our discordhas an IS300.His name is JCM and let'slook at his sick IS300.- Sick.- Cool, good base, man.Good starting point.Congratulations on your new purchase.If you're interested injoining our Donut underground,click that join button down belowand you get some exclusive stuff from us.- I'm more attracted to an IS300.- Yeah. For sure.They are fun to drive.Yeah. Even the base model ones.They're still fun to drive.You got that straight six with four doors.You can do anything in that thing.- I'd say if you can find a manual IS300,it's cooler than a Boxster.- Okay.Cooler than a Boxster.- Justin.- Yes.How many old BMWs do we have at Donut?- Ooh.- you have one?- I have one.- We have the E36.- We have Max's Wagon.- Yep.Max's E30,- Max's E30.We have other Max's E30.We have the Eight Series.Well, the reason that we have so many BMWsis because they used to be very cheap.- Yeah. Used to.- But that's not really true anymore.E30s are like a million grand,E36s and E46s are alsogetting pretty expensive.But there is one era of BMWthat is actually getting cheapertalking the E82 or the1-series from the 2010s.- What?- A lot of people sleep on this,but they shouldn't.Take the 128I for example,it's about the size of an E30while most modern BMWs andall cars in general are huge.It has 228 horsepower.- Okay.- Pretty good.Which is way more thanany E30, that lives here.(Both laughing)It handles great.And again, you can get them with a manual.Then you've got the 135Iwhich bumps up thepower with a twin turbo.- Ooh.- Okay.It's basically an E92, but littler.Let's take a look at this onethat I found for sale.I like these.- 8,500 bucks- 8,500 bucks dude.- 165,000 miles.It's quite a bit.You're gonna need,definitely need to checkthe maintenance on that one.but it's pretty clean.- It got an intake.It's got cool options,sport package, sport suspension.- Nice, nice.- It's got aftermarket wheelswhich aren't always aplus, but these are these.- If you want something you can wrench onthese straight 6s are, youknow, not too complicated.It's real wheel drive, it's manual,and under 10 grand, youreally can't say no to that.I'm saying down.- YeahThis is a smart first car.If you're into cars, look at these.- And also driving slow cars fast is fun.- So fun.- It's so much more funthan driving something fastand trying not to die.- Right.Dying sucks.(Low tone sound)Perhaps you'd rather hit the trails.A lot of the go-to optionsfrom a few years ago are priceybut the next vehicle is just as capableand way more affordable.I'm talking about the NissanPathfinder/Infiniti QX4.Basically the same car,but the Infiniti is obviouslya more luxurious version.These cars both came withone of our favorite enginestalking of course about thebest sounding motor in history(Justin making trumpet sounds and laughs)widely agreed upon bestsounding engine ever the VQ.And then like some of theother cars on this listyou can find tons of thesethings for sale always.I'd go with the infinitybecause I like havingleather sheets and stuff.I just like being stickywhen I drive shirtless.All right, let's take a look at this one.- Oh, this is a older one.- Good looking.- Yeah.- That is a good looking one.- So what I think about theseforerunners are expensive.That's it. Done?- Yeah. Really.- And then you buy that it's 4x4.It was a competitor for the 4Runner.This one is how much?- (James) This is a- (Both) $3995All right.So it's already lifted.He's got fatter tires on it.He left the threespokes, which is awesome.If you want to go offroadingwith your buddies,and something, you don'thave to care too much aboutbut also sits nice.This is great.- for four grand dollar,tear this thing up.- Yeah- I still think.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.Or yeah, for offroading purposes.I think it's cooler than the Beater.- Yeah.It's more versatile.You can do more things with it.You can get it dirty.You don't have the care.- So we've gone off road.We've been in the wilderness.We've been camping,but it's time to goback to practical town.Not that any of thesecars aren't practicalbut nothing is morepractical than a Honda civic.The specific Civic, orshould I say specific?That we have on this list is a good one.The eighth gen Civic SI,which was sold in the late two thousands.They're great cars.You can get them in two orfour doors, they've got K20swhich are pretty solid, awesome engines.They make 200 horsepower stock,but they're also very, very tuneable.There's a reason thatpeople put K series motorsin like Ferraris.Now they handle boost like crazy.You can easily make one 500 horsepower.- Yeah.- Easily.- Most importantly,virtually all civic SI come with a manual.And there aren't a ton of issues with thembecause at the end of theday, it's a Honda Civic.Honda civics are reliable.That's kind of the whole point.- And if you break one,you can fix it for nothing.- This is the first car.Well, actually the BoxsterI thought about likemaybe I should get one of those- Maybe I should look into this.- I thought the same thing about this one.What do you thinking?It's definitely here.- I'm thinking here.Yeah. Cause the is, is asix old in river drive.Cool.- Now maybe having a backseat is still too practical.maybe you're a little bit of a badass.But you really want aCivic for some reason.Right?- Interesting.- You know what you do getyourself a Civic Del Sol.- Ooh.- This bad boy was originallysold in the mid nineties.And it's just like a regularcivic except wake heater.Think MR2 but front wheel driveand the engines in the frontI've always wanted to get a Del Sol,like paint it like a Mark 4Supra from Fast and the Furious.- Oh yeah that'd be silly.- And these things, aren't fast.It's not gonna win a lot of racesbut they're fun and very of an era.And not a lot of people have them.I think this is like oneof the most slept on cars.One of the most slept on cars.There's a ton of differentversions of this.Just like every Honda.Some of them even have Vtech,(Justin yelling)no matter what versionof the Del Sol you find,you can pretty much guaranteethat it's gonna be cheapbecause again, very slept on.We found this one for $5,000.It's not the best examplebut we also live in Los Angelesand everything's overpricedbut there are very coolversions of it out there.I encourage you to get oneand make it look like Paul Walker's Suprafrom the Fast and the Furiousbecause I think that would be hilarious.It'd be a cool little time and tech car.- It'd be sick for thatauto crosser time effect.Anything you do with light cars,it'd be sick for cause that's what it is.- I like them.- I like them too.Now, where would you put it though?Above the Boxster?- Yeah.- Speaking of MR2s(Justin reacts)How about an MR2?(Justin reacts)The most overlooked MR2 of all time.One is the third gen MR2 Spyder with a Yalso known as the ugly onebut just because it's uglydoesn't mean that it's not fun.The MR2 is mid engineand real world drive.So basically if you thinkabout it, it's a cheap Lotus.- Absolutely.- And they even actuallyhave the same engineas the Lotus least.Now this would make a great auto cross cara great like canyon car.Good weekend, fun thing.Here's one we found in Mendocino county.- Oh nice bumper.They're mid engine,which is something we don'tget much of these days.Cheap, mid engine cars.They are getting reallypopular now with like,you know weekend track people.But it is a little bit moredifficult to find a good onefor less than 10 grand.But it's not to say that you can't.- I like this thing.It's cool in Del Sol.So the MR2 is cool,but let's say you're one of those peoplewhose dream car is a350Z, just like high car.But the reality is you're Nolan.So you're on team low.I don't know what that wouldbe like, but I am empathetic.And I do want to help everybody out.Another example of theluxury version being cheaperthan the not luxuryversion, the Infiniti G35.It's the exact same caressentially as the 350Z,same engine, same transmission.It's real wheel drive.- If you leave them stock,it still can be cool.Put some nice wheels on itand get it buy a good exhaust.And it's a fun car to have- Assuming you're gonnabuy one of these cars.Be very aware of the factthat there's probably a lotof not very nice examples.A lot of them have been crashed on.Do your research and check the mails.- Let's see what we got though.- Here's what we found in Sylmar.- Hey, it's clean.- I like this one.- How many miles?155. That's not too bad.Seats are a littledamage, but it's manual.That's great.Stock wheels are on it.See, this is a good car.- Yeah, 8,300 bucks.- He kept it real short.Fun, reliable sounds great.Bang.- I mean, even thoughlike technically on paperit might be better than some of these.I agree.Well, let's crank upthe Hersh Persh Justin,what do you buy if you want a hell catbut you can't afford an 84month loan with 32% APR?(Justin reacts and laugh)You go back to 2008and you buy the closestthing to a hell cat.You can find I'm talkingabout the Chrysler 300 SRT8.The Rolls Royce of Detroit.One of our own, one ofDonut's favorite sons.Our post producer Josephjust bought himselfa 2008 SRT8because he needed asensible car for his baby.His has a sub in it.It's the funniest I gota car cause of my dad carI've ever seen.Apparently sensible meanshaving 425 horsepowera tinted windshield.And like I said, tons of shovesto rock the baby to sleep.Here's the thing you paidless than 10 grand for it.These aren't as easy to findas some of the other cars on this list,but it is definitelythe cheapest SRT eightthat you can find.And I remember when the 300came out and they're cool.- Yeah, they're really cool.They still are.That's the thing.And it matches everythingthat chargers have.And it's the same thing really.Except a little bit nicer.It's a dope car.- I think I'm gonnarock the world right now(Ground shaking sound)and put it above with Del Sol and PorscheI can't believe either, but here we are.Which brings us to our final carwhich might be the leastpractical one on this listbut we're not here to talk aboutpractical vehicles all day.We're here to talk about fun vehiclesand nothing is more funthan a Chevy Corvette.The cheapest Chevy Corvette is the C4.Engine options in these bad boysrange from 200 horsepowerall the way up to 330.(Justin overwhelms)smoking.And it's got one of the mostquintessential Corvette bodies ever.This is the Barbie car.You can spend a lot ofmoney on a C4 Corvettebut if you don't careabout things like comfortyou can find really cheap oneslike this one that wefound for 9,500 bucks.These are cool.- They're dope- Dude, I love with Corvettelike you open the hood the cool way.Cool seat looks very adjustable.- Hmm.
