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:party-smiley-004: 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.

GET A 996 GT3:evilb: Girls car MY A## I bet if u went for a ride u would wet your panty's

if you want a great sports car buy a ''ferrari'',for 50k there are some deals out there,,355's and testarossa's come to mind,and everybody wants one and every person from 5 to 95 knows what they are

nice cars for sure...had an older 308. car was in the shop more then on the road

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 .............
