I got a set of Continentals earlier today, they're nice, real good looking tire.

The new mid-sized Acuras are finally dope and fairly fiesty.

Not sure how used you are looking at but a Nissan GTR may fall down there.

Can't afford, even used. I'm talking $30k and under here. I don't want another car payment, so I have to keep it cheaper so I can buy outright.

Got me before I revised my comment. Maintenance on a few of those could get rough. Particularly the Ms.

I will report my repairs tomorrow, I have a bad sensor right now, and it's going to Audi, tomorrow.

I'm needing to be there by 7:30AM to drop it, but it's only a mile from my crib, so I'm okay w/ that and still being awake, yada yada

Yeah, although I'm not against doing the work myself. Problem is, just the parts for M cars are stupid expensive, nevermind the labor. If I get one, it would definitely have to be low-miles with an intact warranty.

That's the way to go, absolutely no question about it! Great job. I doubt I'll be fortuante enough to do that, but I'll be certain to over pay to get from upsidedowness, that occurs once you leave the lot. Also, I plan on putting down about 30% - if all goes well and God willing.

You just have to downsize for a while and build back up. And you have to be patient. I mean, I bought my S2000 for $14,000 and sold it a year and a half later for $15,000 with more miles on it. Go figure. Definitely have to wait to find the right deal.

Although, now that I'm seriously looking, I'm thinking I can squeeze into a 50k mile or so C6 Vette. That would be awesome.
