That would be my thought too.
Comfy muscle car with a boot big enough for a bike or skis. Distances are big and for all the twistys you see on vlogs, something that eats up the miles and can sit in a traffic jam, or be set to 55mph on the cruise control will deliver more enjoyment irl.
Or a big V8 truck like a Raptor or Silverado.

Anything in urban California needs to be Automatic. Traffic is too much of a shit show on a frequent basis to make a manual tolerable for anything other than occasional use.
If I had a choice of just one vehicle, it would be a highly optioned Toyota Tacoma or something similar. Does everything and you can dump all the toys in the back.
On the car front, I wouldn't bother with a convertible. In So-Cal it's too hot for them to be comfortable for most of the year and the tops get beaten by the dry heat and sun.

Watching a video of this when it was on Youtube (for some reason it's not on Icon's channel anymore) had me feeling all types of ways for an ex-police Caprice or Crown Victoria.

Take the opportunity to buy something that you wouldn't be able to enjoy in the UK. Something old or something wild like a corvette.
