What is your car buying future?

-308 - 348 "what? no back seats, oh well, maybe next car" A more budget friendly entry to F-car.

Eck. My coworker has a hilarious story of working at a shop that repaired/restored one of those (the Magnum PI one..308?). Owner paid like 17k for the car, then 30k to get it decent. A headlight is still 3k, an alternator 1700, etc. Anything with a prancing horse on the hood is a horrendous money pit, and yes, even the Mondial.

I did my homework and I feel that I have pretty much the best combo of vehicles right now, so I probably won't be switching things up for a while :dunno: Add to that the fact that I have no idea what I want to do or where I want to live in 5 years and playing with cars is less of a priority :lol:

If I had to give it a thought, I'll probably continue playing with the Miata for a long time. Its basically a faultless platform (IMO) and even getting stupid with it is still going to be ~1/2 to 1/3 the cost of anything else I'd want to drive for fun, which means the $ to fun ratio is through the roof. Works for me.

Way out in the future, if I'm lucky, I wouldn't mind building something over time. FFR Cobra, 60's fastback Mustang, etc. The lure of cars like a C6Z, 4th gen Supra, Caterham/Lotus/Atom is there at times as well.
