I am with Sychs, as much as I have spent on my G I could almost bought a used 6th gen Corvette. Sti is very sweet but I have always loved Corvettes and what a track car it would be.

Here's what I think I'll be getting next.. I've had my eye on one for quite some time waiting for the prices to go down. Porsche Cayman S w/Widebody Kit




I also might like one of these.. Mercedes CL55 AMG Over $100k when they came out, and now available for $40k.

FORD OR NOT, i would be ALLLLL over that hatch!

http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/29/f...d-of-schedule/

"Powered by a 2.5-liter five-cylinder that gives 350 PS and 460 Nm of torque (that's 345 horsepower and 339 pound-feet to us Yanks), the RS500 offers an appreciable boost over the standard – and still bonkers – Focus RS and its 305 horsepower and 325 lb-ft. We're assuming that like the 'base' RS that all that power gets funneled through the front wheels, which, even with Ford's trick RevoKnuckle front suspension and Quaife limited-slip differential, figures to be something of a handful. An entertaining handful, we're sure, but a handful nevertheless. Ford hasn't released full details yet, but the current RS hits 62 mph in under six seconds and blasts to 162 mph."

The non widebody Tech Art kit is over $10k I believe. Retired 16niss'er Alex has it on his Cayman.

Yep, it's $20k for the widebody. I'm sure I'd turbocharge it before spending that kind of money on the outside. Come on lottery #'s!!!

If I play my cards right and my income turns out the way I expect it to be within a year or at max 2 years (or a few more): porsche carrera gt. my dream car [not even a porsche fan, but this car has taken a special place with me]
I do mortgages and property investing. (things right now are running very well actually - but you never know in this industry).

If not, 09 bmw alpine white 335i hard-top 6mt. or a white 02 acura nsx. (I love white coupes)

I would go with a 96 Corvette hard top. I love that car!!! That was the fastest car I had ever been in at the time (16). When I was getting a new car it was between a 99 Black Corvette and the G. The G was too good of an offer to pass on. $18K with 31K miles and it was a lease vehicle that a woman drove. The corvette was the same price and had 60K miles and needed all new tires. I love my G!!!

Back when CARS was going strong I wanted to trade in my '89 Ford for a new F150. But Ford (and Chrystler/GM) forgot to make a manual transmission in their 1/2tons.

I keep thinking to myself I may trade in the '89 truck for a 90ish Camaro or 240ZX. Do I need to post up pics too?

If I'd had to pick up something new for a reasonable price and trackable I think I'd get a Miata.
