I might try and locate a BMW dealer and check into them. If I have seen one I never noticed which BMW it was.

Very good suggestion - fine car.

All true, but a GUTLESS machine with mediocre handling characteristics - absolutely no thrills except cuteness.

Miata is a girl car, plain and simple. when i see a man driving one, i question his sexual orientation and especially his taste in cars. as uncool as they get. if you own one, check your genitalia.

For an outdoors-related forum, you guys really disappoint me.

On my bucket list...

The new Meyers Manx

Anyone have first hand experience with the Porsche Cayman? Talked to a dealer this morning who had 2 in stock both in my price range. Know nothing about them.

Can't help it, my mind went right here when I clicked your link.

This is what I'm planning for my midlife crisis car.



Just doesn't work for the OP's description.

Pontiac Solstice
Saturn Sky
Ferrari 275 GTS

LOL!

When I get a place with a large enough garage I am going to get another Fiat X19.

Wow,can I drive it when you get it?

Here's my car, not even close to what you want to spend, and not exotic, but it is a sports car.

My big sis has a 2000 or so Z3. Cool, clean car.
I told her I want first dibs on it when she gets rid of it.
Still waiting.

Never owned one but have driven two.

FANTASTIC car!

A stiffer, slightly better handling Boxster.

The design is such that this would be the quickest and fastest Porsche there is except for Porsche's decision to not allow any of their cars outperform the 911.

Still is the best handling Porsche ever made.

You NEED one!

My bride had a convertable Nissan 370Z

She loves it

When I looked at the Maserati GT last year they had just got in a Ferrari 599 that was already spoken for of course. I really liked it a lot but couldn't justify spending that kind of cash on a car. I really liked the way the Maserati drove and was a mix of sporty/touring but I really didn't like the paddle shifters. I'm sure you eventually get used to them.

I might go look at the 2 they have.

The 360's have taken a pretty good hit on depreciation and are near bottomed out, but the engine just doesn't have enough hp for me to get really excited about it, and it still uses belt driven cams which are a major maintenance expense.

The 430 has gone to a chain driven cam, replacing the factory headers with aftermarket both fixes the pre-cat failure issue and gives you an additional 20hp for over 500hp peak. I figure in 5 years they will have depriciated to the point that a clean one can be had at right under 6 figures. But then you stat thinking, well the 430 is so much better than the 360, and the 458 is better still...

I'm only interested in mid engine Ferraris, I'd really like a V-12 but the testarossa is a just a bit to antiquated in the interior and I was never a huge fan of the look. But the modern V-8's do sound good especially with a 8500 rpm redline. I guess that's what appeals to me about Ferraris, they are works of art inside and out, sound like an orchestra and the performance is beyond what I could ever realize on the road.

If money weren't an object I'd have an F-40, end of story.

Well, since we're talking Ferraris...



I never will own a Daytona, but definitely could go for a Testarossa, always did like the look of them.

If you've got a big enough garage and enough tools to keep a Fiat X19 running, you're a lucky man!!
