94-95 S10 X cab 2wd.

with:

LSx swap, cam, heads, NA 400whp or so  
4L80E  
what ever rear end with disks and a 2.9X-3.1X gear  
caltracs or simple cheap suspension that can hook decent  
static small drop  
98-2000 front clip if you want it to look newer

Pros  
-Can build it for like $3000 if you wanted to  
-inspect it like nothing  
-blow the doors off many people without issue  
-bet it would get 35-40mpg highway with the gearing, weight and tq  
-basic maintenance crap is dirt cheap; pads, rotors, suspension stuff, etc.  
-simplestic everything, well designed, billions of them for parts, body panel repops for rust.  
-can tow a little bit, fit 4-5 people decently, toss shit in the bed  
-cheap insurance  
many many more.

E39 M5. Silver. I’ve wanted one since I was 12. Dual mode mufflers. Other bits to get it ~450whp. Lowered slightly. Upgraded springs/shocks/swaybars. Separate rims with snow tires for the winter. Tow hitch to drag around some small off-road toy on a trailer. I’m sure an M5 would be fine with 1500-2000lbs of jetski/ATV/dune buggy/sailboat, since my accord will do 1500 with a third the power and way less brakes.

Either that or an Audi RS6 Wagon. AWD, wagon, 10 cylinders and twin turbos.
