Have we identified what the ultimate long-term car is for the 50-70 year old who wants that cool factor? Can't scream money. Has to be reasonably reliable. Anything that looks good with a patina would qualify. Japanese is ruled out due to lack of cool. Go!

The Challenger/Charger culture is a very real thing here. Shit, just look at the meme posted all of one page ago.
There's no fewer than 3 well-known websites/IG pages here that have long-running jokes about the two car cultures most associated with crime and trouble and general hell-raising. The Challenger/Charger group, and the beat to shit Nissan Altima with "tag applied for" crudely written on a paper license plate doing 95mph in the slow lane. I'm an ardent believer the Altima is the most dangerous car on the road, bar none.
The answer, as always, is a 911.I still call it The Jake.

You in ATL? Haha. Same phenomenon is equally true for Dallas and Houston as well. LMAO. Chargers are SUPER popular around there. Although, I must say. I'm kind of sad to see the trend of the donks, boxes, and bubbles in decline. Always got a good chuckle out of those.

Or Toyota+cayman/boxster.
Practical+performance= $$$$ as ut not only has a healthy market, but needs additional things to have performance compensations for the sensibility.
That's why I have a minivan and a BRZ. Fun times are very fun and I don't sacrifice utility.
If you don't have the garage/driveway space, really any of the M/RS/caddy v series or a Porsche are good options.
I will say that the above comment of "can't scream money" but also can't be Japanese means you want it to scream a medium amount of money.

As I've been looking for a used car and learning all of these foibles out there, cars like the Caddy V's (and quite a few others) are starting to be a hassle to find some parts for. Front bumper covers are a big one and insurance companies are totalling cars that get bumped in parking lots when that, the grill and the stuff behind it gets ruined. I found some really nice Magnum RT AWD at great prices that needed front bumpers and grills.

Pick your flavor of Volvo. Doesn't scream money (even though they're more expensive than many cars that do).

That's a beautiful compromise!!! Taking notes. Since cars have been so expensive, I have floated the idea to my wife of getting another crotch rocket since they're still reasonably affordable. Earlier in our marriage, she was against the idea (with good reason from her past), but she's surprisingly warmed up to the idea as of late. The stipulations are I have to finish up all my current car projects, get her a newer wagon, and lastly, pay for it with fun money I save up. Hey, wait a sec. I see what she did there! She knows it ain't gonna be for a while. Lol. It's all good. Still. A very appealing notion. I miss riding.

That's what I love about them! They're super nice without being showy about it. They're the "walk softly and carry a big stick" of the luxury car world. The antithesis of the leased base model BMW 328i owner who thinks they're hawt shit.
