C6 Z06 has always been in the cards since I sold the STi. My responsible side has really kicked in within the past 2 years though and I have been putting as much money as I can into investments / savings. My brother just became a financial advisor for ING up in Reston so they put together a killer plan for me....but it takes money to make money and that cash has to go away and sit for a while instead of being used for instant gratification. Which is a good thing.
My TLS is paid off in about a year, so I might consider picking up a Vette at that point, but having no car payment would be really awesome and truthfully I just really don't NEED another project car right now. This Acura is one of the only cars that I've really enjoyed for more than a year so I'll probably run it until the wheels fall off or it becomes too expensive to maintain.
So in summary:
Project / Weekend Car - A project car would be awesome but I think a part of my desire to tune cars died during the long, painful STi build / process. I loved that car but I was pretty detached when I sold it to Travis. I will *at some point* have a h/c/i/nitrous? C6 convertible or C6 Z06 but I want to save as much money as I can now while I don't have a family and the added expenses associated with them.
Daily Driver - Going to beat this car into the ground since it has *knock on wood* been very reliable and serves its purpose well. I never see myself owning a German car, so the next ride when this thing dies will be whatever Lexus or Infiniti has to offer at the time (IS-class / G37 or M-class)
