If you live in a cold climate like I do and need two cars I would suggest buying a 4x4 pickup truck that can be used to tow a boat and haul anything from people to rock salt.....thats what I did but then again I already have a few Corvettes and muscle cars to choose from whenever I want one and wthe weather up in Canada is cooperating.
I see in your sig line it says Florida, if I lived there I would drive a Vette all year round. Dont mess around with Mustangs, they are nowhere close to the car a Vette is and they arent that much less expensive. If I was you I would get into a 2 year old Z06 which you could probably find for right around 50-55k.
Forget BMW's and Porsche's....those are girl cars
If you buy one make sure you get the body coloured purse option.....you will need it!
Vettes are easliy serviced and the motors are generally bulletproof if you do proper servicing and take care of it. If you are into offshore boats regular service on a Vette will be a cinch compared to the **** you are used to.
If you want to buy something cool and cheap and save for the next boat buy a used 2003-2004 Vette Z06 and just have fun with it. You wont lose too much on it and it is a kickass vehicle and looks great/sounds great. They are suprisingly livable too even as a daily driver.
But if you live in a cold climate---buy a P/U (1999-2003 American made whatever--no japanese trucks) and then buy yourself a hotrod like the aformentioned Vette or even a 2003-2004 Cobra Mustang (wicked car for the money IMO)--or go old school and buy a 87' Buick GN and have some fun with it.
Good luck.

Bought a 2002 M3 Coupe the other day with a 6 speed. I really like the car. It's classy looking (doesn't have the boy racer image), fits 4 easily, and has some great power for not a ton of money. And yes, this coming from Mercedes guy.

The TR is a cheap thrill these days- just so damned dated looking. The 355 is still very contemporary looking but not much of a daily driver- more toy than car. And if you think the Porsche is expensive to fix...

Yes it does, get another MB again.... M3's are nice cars with lots of potential BUT they are NOT MB and there is a class difference between the owners... Again, NOT because of the car itself but due to the fact that they are owned by wannabees and hip hop youngster from .............
