My 200 is the perfect daily that’s still adventure capable. I currently have a 2011 Silverado that’s just for hunting/fishing. It was my younger brother’s first truck so I bought it when he upgraded to something newer. It’s a fun, relatively inexpensive, build that serves a purpose BUT I would like something more vintage like a square body GM or a two door G wagon.
Our ‘fun’ car is a 2019 AMG GT63S. Since we have a young son, having four doors is the practical move in this season. I do want a 911 at some point. My dad had one and I miss the feeling of a dedicated sports car.
Very blessed to have a ‘3-car’ setup already but wouldn’t mind a few tweaks in the future.
GT63S is a hell of a car. Most folks drive by them and have no idea what’s under the hood.
 
In the last year, I replaced my 2018 Carrera GTS for a MB GT63 and my 2021 TRX for a new Chevy ZR2. Seems like I'm always spending the 3rd car fund on another hunting trip.

No buyers remorse with the GT63 but the GTS was really nice. Maintenance costs were ridiculous and the Porsche sales/service people were the most pretentious and arrogant people I've met.

If I could find (actually afford) an old Defender, that might be a really tempting 3rd.

I agree with whoever said essentially "no garage queens". In the upper Midwest, a decent truck and a nice 2 seater fits almost all needs.

In your pursuit of the older defender, you should really go check out the Ineos Grenadiers. It might fill your void between the older defender and the TRX you traded out.
