Honestly, if you want to slow down, buy a 4Runner. Body on frame SUVs are not fun to drive fast.

4Runner is always the right choice, but there's no way sporty could ever bring himself to copy me

That depends. I drove Rodeo like a race truck.

Well, at least heavy body on frame SUVs. I haven't driven the current gen, but the last gen wasn't exactly a sports truck.

The Explorer is a little scary sometimes on the curvy mountain roads lol. Gotta watch your speed going into corners, especially coming back down of the mountain.

EVO would be awful for me on many reasons. Louder than my Civic, worse interior, 4 banger engine note, abysmal gas mileage and AWD I moved out of NYC to avoid ever needing again. One of my childhood friends had a ~700WHP EVO.... all it was good for was going fast in a straight line and scaring passengers. No thx

I am coming around to the G again, just on the strength of cost. Only mods it would need are coilovers and pads/fluid/rotors. Still going to test as many different vehicles as possible but I'm open.

1. Is it louder than your Civic?  I haven't driven an Evo X, but I've read it's much more civilized than the VIII and IX.
2. The interior isn't that bad; certainly not appreciably worse than the Civic's (the Civic's is better, but it's not like it's a Rolls Royce compared to the Evo).
3. Yes, it's a four cylinder, but it sounds pretty good unless you go messing around with obnoxious aftermarket exhausts (which is true for like 95% of cars).
4. Okay, you've got gas mileage.  17/22 is bad.
5. AWD isn't some snow-only thing.  It's got advantages in the rain and even in the dry as well.  AWD =/= floaty CUV with snow tires.
6. You don't have to make your Evo ~700whp.  That has nothing to do with a stock Evo, which is fun and practical from factory.  One of my friends modified his Miata to the point that he doesn't enjoy driving it on the road anymore, that has no bearing on what stock Miatas are like.  I don't see your point.   
7. Yeah, the G is probably the best car for you, unfortunately.

You seriously think any of this is ever going to make any sense?

"I need a boring car so I don't get speeding tickets"
"It needs to run the quarter mile in the 14s"

Don't forget lowering it so that it rides like shit.

[Cookie Monster]

By the time he weighs it down with Highlander brakes and a minivan transmission the damn thing won't be running 14s anymore.

Fine no worse than a truck period if you're not an idiot who turns the damping up all the way

The situation is even crazier used. $13-15K for a fully loaded 15 V6. The question is how much faith you have in Chrysler. I'd rather gamble on an older Camry

[Eye of the Tiger]

Cryslur 200s are so fast, though. And quite frankly, its V6 makes better sounds than the Camry's.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Or for the same money, you could have the terribly pathetic Nissan Versa S,

Apparently you just need to keep your current car. And for some reason, avoid duck?

[Soup DeVille]

Whats unmanly about duck?  Most people in this country only eat the ducks they've shot themselves, which I would think would be more macho, right?

I found the image on the "Gatekeeping" subreddit, which is basically just people making fun of other people for saying "Only REAL [insert noun] do [insert verb clause]."

It just so happened that the two cars pictured were relevant to this thread.

[BimmerM3]

Though after actually looking at his Twitter feed, I can only hope it's all satire...
