    The Coolest Cars You Can Buy from $10,000 to $15,000 - Ep. 8

    Welcome back to our mini-series on the Automotive Icons Podcast! Last week, we tackled the $15k–$20k range. Today, James Reeves is stepping down into the $10,000 to $15,000 bracket. As the price goes down, the stakes go up. To keep things realistic, we’re hunting for cars with under 75,000 miles (preferably under 60k) to avoid the "money pit" trap of high-mileage luxury. From "constant state of domination" in a Lexus to the "anonymous" speed of a Pontiac GTO, we’re breaking down the six best (or at least coolest) picks across our signature categories.

    We are BACK! After a brief hiatus involving the holidays, work chaos, and a never-ending warehouse renovation nightmare (apologies for the concrete reverb!), the Automotive Icons podcast is hitting the road again. In this episode, James Reeves kicks off a new mini-series: The Six Coolest Cars at Every Price Point. We’re starting in the $15,000 to $20,000 bracket. To keep it fair, James self-imposed a "60,000-mile cap" to find vehicles that haven't been beaten to death—and the results range from "brilliant" to "genuinely stupid."

    They both started as utilitarian Jeep knockoffs. They both built legendary cult followings. And today, they represent two of the greatest inventions in human history. But which one actually deserves the crown? In episode six of Automotive Icons, James Reeves dives deep into the "same same, but different" world of the Toyota Land Cruiser and the Mercedes G-Wagon. From the battlefields to the soccer fields, these vehicles have done it all—serving as farm tools, expedition rigs, and high-end status symbols.
