Well, after I get a real job then I can start thinking about what my first actual car purchase will be.

Maybe in 2007 I can get a GS430 or SC430

So many cars so little time. I am really stuck on what to buy right now.

1. LS430 with Bodykit, 20" wheels and coilovers
2. New 2004 GS XXX Body kit, 20" wheels and coilovers
3. Audi RS6
4. BMW 760il V12
5. S 55
6. If business is REALLY good in the next 24 months, damn I want a AWD 2002 Lamborghini Murcielago

Thinking of a Rx300 for a beater (We have winter here) or maybe a 1998 Gs400 and look at the TT kit for it from SRT.

Even then there is more cars I am considering.

X5 4.6 with bodykit-wheels
Seen a CL 55 today that looked hot

Mercedes CL
Corvette
M5
RS7 (by the time I upgrade, it should be available)
Skyline GT-R
Maybe the new GS if it's not ugly and gives a decent performance.

Yea those are really hot, but I'm thinking of just going with a 2000-2001 6.0 VT and save about 150,000. Almost as much power too.

But first I need some cheap HP so I was going to buy a viper GTS this summer but desided to wait until next when I'm settled in my new house.

2000-2001 6.0 VT???

Yeah Viper is cheap power, I live the detroit area so I love that v8-v10 sound. Few mods and the viper is a fun weekend car

There is no car at the 50k range I want besides mine now. My ES was 22k, my GS was 45k. So I am not sure if my next car will be 22k more (67k) or if my price will double (90k):eek:

Considering I came from a 10k Sentra then a 11k Hyandai Scoupe to the ES 300, I think I may be FOCKED!

So at 67K, I'll keep my GS.
At 90k, I'm thinking a used Aston Martin DB7.....

I plan on keeping the GS until it dies. Of course if there are recurring problems, I'll get rid of it.

Nothing like a sports sedan: fast and practical!

A turboed S2000??? Add lag to a car with no low end torque, it will be like driving a sling shot. Wind it up, wind, wind, then WEEEENG

i cant really imagine getting tired of my car anytime soon. of course it seems like i add something new to it every month or so. the true test will come when there is nothing significant that i can do to it. this is my first serious car that i have owned or more accurately paid/am paying for. the feeling that it gives me is rivaled only by the '89 Beretta GTU that i got when i was a junior in HS. c'mon dont front, the GTU was hot back in the day......16 in wheels, gatorback tires, digital dash, etc. there are still a couple of things that i can do to the car to keep it fresh. besides the supra is only 6 - 8 months away
