Having a good month, things are finally starting to settle down, and I think its finally getting to be about time to pull the trigger on a new car… I want something that is - enjoyable to drive - Reliable (warranty is a huge plus for me) - Newish, I dont want anything older than 05 (unless you can justify it) - I drive 70+ miles a day right now, and its not going to get too much shorter, (its all stop and go too) 10mpg city cars are out. - I live in florida now, so RWD is also a plus - Comforts like nav, heated/ac seats, dynamic cruise/distronic/ etc etc. (I like the little bells and whistles) - Price range 20-40k, id rather not spend 40k on a car right now, but that would be the max for right now - 6 Spd is a plus too. Im sure i’ll think of more so leave these open for ideas. I really am all over the board on this Ideally Id pick up a 335i/m3 and call it a day, c6 corvette, is350, sl 500, etc etc GO GO GO… ---

C6. Gas mileage is surprisingly good with the 6-speed. CTS-V if you want something a little more “classy.” ---

c6 would be very affordable… you can pick up one without nav for 25k now, and throw in a better aftermarket system… newman, what was so bad about it? I dont really chauffer clients around, but I do work with a guy who is almost 70, so a lotus is out. not to mention, too flashy for showing up at 80 year old war vets houses. ---

^ i thought about getting a porsche… but nothing is going to be new enough in the price range i want to spend, and still have warranty… (with a porsche that would be a necessity) EDIT: fry, i agree, i used to want one so badly, i drove one, it didnt excite me, more than that though, i see them EVERYWHERE here… same with 350z’s. ---

^the z06’s are really coming down in price too… i guess i could save a bit longer until i can get EXACTLY what i want… But as we all know… set a budget at 20k… and 25k cars look that much better… set it at 30 and you want a 40k car… chris, i dislike boxsters… soo much. ---

I’m guessing in order to like the Z06 i’d also probably need to put it on a really hard suspention and put a really loud exhaust on it. Get an 07 STi limited. that’s be sweet. ---

I should add a bullet… I want to keep this stock as possible… its my DD, it must be reliable… Eventually i will buy another toy… that s1000rr looks more appetizing by the day, not to mention, i could really use a boat 🙂 ---
