    Realistically, when are you going to make your next vehicle purchase? Exciting part, what are you going to be purchasing? Currently have an E46 M3 ZCP, thinking of trying out the Porsche world in a year. Perhaps a used 911 997 TT Coupe.

    I'm concidering a used C5 next year once i'm done with the Camaro. But it all depends if everything goes well with the market.

    Selling my e92 335.

    Not sure what will replace it, but something I pay virtually cash for. Be it the new Camaro SS, a C6, a Mazda 3, a GTI......?????

    When: After my Honda dies (5 more years?)
    What: Fairly cheap and gets good mileage (used Audi TT, Mini, another Honda?) .

    The cool car will wait until the house is paid off, kid's college fund is healthy, and I am otherwise debt-free. Just in time for mid-life crisis...

    I am starting to look right now... need a convertible.

    I dont want to spend much...maybe ~$30k.

    Viper R/T 10 ( I miss mine)
    Porsche 996 cab
    Porsche 997 cab
    Porsche 944s cab
    Corvette C5 vert
    Corvette C6 targa
    60s Camero vert
    Prowler (the slushbox kind of kills it for me though)

    Any other suggestions ? I prefer targas to full verts.

    No Ferraris as the only one i desire is a 355GTS and I dont feel like plunking down $55k+ for a decent one right now.

    Looking for a low mileage, mint, '02-'04 ZO6 to replace my modded Camaro SS I just sold....


    Still have the Infiniti and Pontiac for daily duty, but I miss not having a toy!

    I am currently waiting for a 2011 Nissan GT-R.

    I didn't want a first year model, and I wanted to wait until the demand was not crazy enough to have ludicrous mark ups. I have an 07 Vette Z51 to drive until then.

    The C5 Z06 doesnt have a targa does it ? If it did that would probably go to top of my list

    First gen Miata for me and my goal is to either boost the hell out of the stock engine or swap a 3SGTE into it. I have never owned a convertible and want to know what it feels like to have the wind blowing through my hair while I still have hair LOL!

    08 or 09 Dodge Challenger SRT8, sometime in the next few months hopefully. Used is fine. I'm starting to see the prices come to earth finally. I just need to have some positive news economically to make it happen. :)

    No, Z06s all have fixed roofs.

    Correct, and that's fine with me. I never used my Camaro's T-tops and the last converible I had didn't see mush use. The fixed roof is more rigid and I plan on tracking the car.

    Lease is up on my STS in July. Looked at the new ones but the lease prices are getting a little out of hand at the Caddy dealerships. I feel that I should buy something American made and since I want to lease it looks like I will be gracing the doorsteps of the local Lincoln dealership sometime in the next few months to pick out a new MKS. I like the styling and like all the gadgets (Microsoft Sync, Sirrius Travel-link, etc) and the lease prices aren't as crazy as they are at the Cadillac stores as I can get a fully equipped MKS for a price in the high $500's - VERY low $600's/month. The 2009 STS is about $350 or so more per month.

    I'd get a CTS before I got a MKS. The 3.6 in the Caddy is nice and it's got RWD.

    I'm torn between buying my next Ferrari... OR going redneck & getting a Jeep Wrangler. Depends on how quickly my patience runs out in the Ferrari search. If I got the Jeep I'd have the best of both worlds! The M3 for backroads & teh Jeep for no roads :)

    A 360 Coupe by the end of 2009 or before is perfect timing for me.

    Maserati Spyder and a Bentley Brooklands (the old one, not the new coupe). In no hurry for either, need to add onto the garage first.
