Skys/Solstices are really getting my attention. I really liked the one I drove. However, if you plan to mod, I’d have to say Stook for reliability. One of these days I’m going to seriously consider getting a sky and making a real project out of it. Those cars can look mean if done right. ---

I would buy a Toyota Solara, a nice white one with the new body style and a V6. Good size car, and cheap to insure. ---

Miata. Buy one for 6 grand, install a high performance turbo setup and suspension mods for under 4k, and for under 10 you will have a sick performer. Spend the other 5k on hookers? ---
