5 cars you wish you had - under $20K

I love my 09 IS-F and will not be getting rid of it anytime soon. But right now it is my only vehicle and I am just not used to that. I sold the other toys get into this. So I have been thinking about some cars I would to have in addition to my F. Not going to happen anytime soon, but still fun to think about.

Here goes:

1. VW R32
2. VW Corrado VR6
3. Volvo 850 T5-R Wagon
4. 1984 Celica/Supra
5. IS300 Sportcross

Well there it is. What about the rest of you folks...what's on your list?

My 2nd vehicle is a truck. Unless you're going to use the F as a weekend car only, a truck can be and is very handy to have.

Funny thing is my G35c never gave me any problems but I only had it for about 40k miles. I still turn my head when I hear the g/z/fx exhaust

Not a day goes by that I don't miss the pair of S2000's I had (AP1 and AP2).
I think an STI would be nice, or a fully prepped NA Miata and a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
