a new pair of sneakers - best bang for the buck.
If I had no money/existence stipulation, a four-seater Aptera.

Really? Sound interesting. What ideas do you have for this?

Click the AeroMetro link to my car. Sorry, that's all you get to see for now as body construction is just beginning. Right now I am in the middle of rebuilding the engine and putting in an XFi camshaft.

I hope a Mercedes Benz S Class with a hybrid combination of a diesel engine and an electric motor can be available here, and I hope I can afford it, one day. I know it is too bulky for almost every practical purpose but just cannot resist the temptation to try the (arguably) so called technically most advanced car.

Aptera
I like the Aptera but think it should be priced in the $12,000 to $15,000 price range.

One of these with a modern veggie oil engine and modern chassis:
