Thanks, the Challenger will now be the garage Queen, the Mini is the daily driver. The Charger was A Automatic, :( not so on the Challenger 6 spd time which also means no one else gets to drive it in my house LOL

Sometimes I think I wouldn't mind buying back my Arctic Silver '99 M Roadster; I sold it after purchasing my first MINI, as the MINI was actually more fun to drive and MUCH more practical for a daily driver.
Still, I miss it a bit...

My next car? A 1966 Jaguar 420 G, In my opinion, one of the most beautiful touring cars ever made.

Pretty car, indeed!
I owned a '63 MKII Saloon 3.8L for a couple years. Rebuilt the motor, did some suspension repair; but it had cancer bad, so I sold it and bought a lathe instead.
I went from something that was costing me money, to something that MADE me money.

My wife was looking between an A4 and a 3series. Think shes leaning towards the 3.

I personally am planning on keeping my 03S when its paid, and getting a Cad CTS-V, fell in love with em when i went for a ride in my friends, wiiickeddd fast, beautiful, but still realistic. Ive also been tossing around the idea of doing another frame-draggin Silverado.

If you're the frugal type gas is practically a wash considering 29MPG on Regular vs 32 on Premium. Ah, but who cares about that, right.

hmm...

well it would have to corner at well over a G, and be competitive in motorsports competition

it would have to be convenient, practical, provide superior visibility

it would have to run a 14 second quarter mile or better, and cruise all day at 100 without getting tired

it would have to average over 30 mpg, and have grocery space

and it would have to be gorgeous...

and I don't want to spend much, 'cause I ain't rich...

lemme think...

As one might gather from my name, I would certainly consider adding a 3rd Mustang to the stable, the new 5.0.

That said, I would be quite tempted to buy a used Elise/Exige.

I'd either buy an 07 STi like I had before the MINI or a JCW R56.
