Am I the only one who thinks this car is really gay? I mean, for 40K you could get a pretty sic
-mustang
-charger
-300
-Any numberof SUV's
-Unreal classic car (GTO, cuda, trans am etc. with like 400 horses and an insane after market stereo)

and your going for a 4 cylinder mid size sports sedan? What?

I hope you are talking about the old charger/mustang, the new ones are god awful. And as for SUV's, who would want one with gas prices the way they are?

Scotty,

I don't even know what this model is. If I were him and wanted a Lexus, I'd prob go sc340. If that's too much, maybe a Boxster (or preferably Boxster S).

If you're going to spend your money on a Porsche, at least get a Carerra.

sl,

Boxsters start around 40, 911s around 70. That's prob too much of a stretch given his budget goals.

Oh I know.... but I'm just saying... If you're going to bother getting a Porsche, don't get a Boxster. They just scream... Hey I finally got a real job (after college), and my first paycheck, time to pretend I'm rich.... At least that's all I see in the people who drive them here.

Maybe after college, but right now for this kid, it screams to all the hot college chicks "look at me, I'm 19 and have a brand new Porsche!"

Diablo,

The Boxster sucks. The Boxster S is where it's at, and the base price on these things is totally fake. To actually get one off the lot, you're gonna have to spend 60K+. They kill you on "options" that really aren't. I've checked these things out. The Lexus convertible is a chick's car, anyway, so I wouldn't get that either (though it's actually cheaper out the door than the Box S).

FWIW, I'd get the F-150 in Texas and save the rest for hookers n' blow.

In the interest of full disclosure, I drive a crappy Maxima with 115000 miles on it, but I like that car. I will buy a toy soon, and it is the Lotus Elise, but I will keep the Nissan just to taunt Zee the next time he comes out. I'm also going to buy a house of some sort.
