Need help on deciding on a third car.
Well I have the IS350 and the Z4 M; however I want something that stands out from the crowd as something special... I not trying to get the cops' attention or trying to be flamboyant seeing that I just turned 16... My girlfriend thought my IS350 was a camary T_T and just doesn't like riding in the Z4 M (nor does my mother like my driving it which is why i plan to only really use it on weekends and track days);however I am not wanting a new car because of her but want something unique. I wanted to get a sport bike;however, my mother is utterly against it because of death statistics with a person under 25 owning one, so she compromised allowing me to spend up to $100,000 on a third car. Any sugguestions?

Are you for real? You are 16, and a mother is gonna let you spend 100k on a third car? Good on ya I guess.
I am in the same quandry except I WORK for my money.
Between the R8 which I have to wait nearly 2 years for and is twice the price and half the car, (perfromance wise) of the new GTR. I am prob gonna go with the GTR, but kinda wanted to upgrade to a V8 like the R8or V10, but a Gallardo is a little out of reach.

In order:
Audi R8 - probably the best choice. nice enough to be considered an exotic and can be driven daily.
Used Ferrari 360 - not exactly the best car but it sure has class and style.
GTR - phenomenal performance. looks like a nicely modified tuner car, thats about it. does not have the lines of an exotic.

Your 16??? then get a Honda Mugen Si for 30k cuz we all know, 30k for a civic is such a good value.
no but really... 100k GIFT for a THIRD car and you cant figure it out what to get... Easy, since you have 2 NEW cars already, goto Scottsdale AZ for the Jackson/Barret auction and get yourself a classic 'something'. You'd be a damm fool not too.

Take the 100K and invest in something thats not going to depriciate. Make that 100K into 120K and so on and so on. Since you already have two really nice cars. That would be the smart thing to do. Live for the future not the present.
On a side note: If you were my kid and didn't appriciate the two 40K-ish cars i bought you. Because obviously you don't appricate them since you want another car. id trade them both in for a Schwinn or maybe a good pair of walking boots.
And i would love to see some of the IS350 and the Z4 pics!!!!
