04 Cavalier and 84 vette right now. My next purchase will be either a Cobalt SS Superchaged, an STI, an Elise, or another Corvette.

I'm probably going to get rid of the Trailbazer in the spring and get a Lucerne.

The Dakota and Escort make for nice beaters.



I don't have any plans for the Camaro in the near future. Maybe get a vette.

M3

Cause an M3 can be had for NFS4's budget right? :roll:



Topic is your next car purchase, not NFS4's next car purchase.

I guess I'm the only one reading the posts of NFS4 so far mugs

Uh, mugs is right...

Can this thing tickle your fancy?

RS6 > S8.. unless you're going for both max size and power.. then the S/RS8 definitely wins

He just linked to a plain old A8. RS6/RS4, or S6/S8 would all tickle just a bit more than an A8.

Current :
88 Trans Am (summer car)
92 Prelude (winter / commuter / beater car)
Plus I still have my 92 Mustang and 88 Conquest, which are both for sale (although I'm debating selling the Quest).

Future:
I still haven't abandoned my plans for a nice MKIV TT Supra as a fun driver. I'm hoping once the new Supras come out, the MKIV will drop in price...a lot.
I would like to get another Conquest / Starion (in better shape than my current one) as a project, and I'll probably keep the Trans Am till it's totaled, too rusted to drive, or the wheels fall off.

I?ve always wanted to get a 1995-2004 light green Dodge Grand Caravan, kinda olive drab in colour, and slap a small yellow U.S.Army 1st Calvary Division decal on each front fender. Then drive down the road with both slider doors open blaring Wagner's ?Flight of the Valkyries? over the stereo.

Really? why? I don't get it....

Two main reasons:

1) I like compact cars
2) It is environmental friendly

Currently driving a modified '03 Cobra Terminator

Keeping my eye on the '07 Cobra GT500 but I've been thinking about waiting to see how the 5.4 aftermarket turns out first. Bigger isn't always better; the 4.6 enjoys a much larger aftermarket for performance parts and tuning than the 5.4 as far as I can tell. Not to mention I don't like paying MSRP, much less markups beyond MSRP. I'll probably give it a year or two and see what happens.

its called the BMW M - roadster i think....for future reference

It's just called the M I think. Very very fast and suppose to handle great. Really kills it around the 'ring.

no coz there was the M-coupe as well, same car with a tin top.

M coupe and M roadster

http://www.seriouswheels.com/top-BMW-M-Roadster.htm

M Coupe is supposed to be the better car mostly due to the stiffness afforded by the roof. Only shame is that is has a lower output (320hp) than the E46 M3 due to the exhaust configuration in the smaller platform.

Sod the M Roadster . You can't call an M car with a SOFT TOP!

They also shafted the final gear ratio to make it slower then the M3. BMW couldn't have the cheaper M coupe be faster then their M3!

Koing

M3 Cab?

Nah!

M3 with a SOFT top?! It's 350lbs more heavy then the without the soft top.

My current: SAFE CAR

I don't know what I'll get next. I plan to drive this into the ground and hopefully by then there will be some newer cars that catch my eyes. For the moment, I would like a BMW 3-Series hybrid which does not exist yet.
