I'm getting bored again. Granted I haven't driven my car in 2 years, but I can see light at the end of the tunnel. That being said I'm pretty much over a drag race oriented fbody, I miss road trips and cruising. I'm excited to see what the car can do at the track but I'm pretty sure after I make a few passes the car will go up for sale and I'll be looking into a C6 again since they are stupid cheap. The C6 will be a stopgap till C8 prices drop into the 40's on the used market.

The Saab I bought off CL back in 2014 is starting to give me too many issues and it’s time for something newer. It did only cost me $900 ($2,900 purchase, less $2,000 insurance check that I pocketed from a lady backing into it).

keeping my budget around $28,000 but looking for something manual and with power. BMW 340i or 335i sedans are top the list now. But also debate about a 2017+ camaro SS or Challenger 6.4... I have until around March to decide :O

Something for long road trips, but not a CUV or SUV since I already have a full size truck. The G37 coupe I have now just isn’t as good as I was expecting. So something along those lines, but a bit larger and more quiet. An LC500 would be great, in about 20 years when I could afford one. Actually considered a C6 or even C7 as they get better highway mileage than my car, but alas, less space inside.

A friend had a 2013 Lexus LS460 that was really nice. Maybe a newer model in a year or two. Job is too unstable to be making big purchases.

If the truck should have something critical happen to it before I upgrade the car, then the car and truck go, and I’ll get another full size truck and go back to a single vehicle.

I'm fairly content with my GTI for a daily for probably another year. I haven't moved my Firehawk out of the garage in 2 years, so need to give that some TLC. My wife's Beetle convertible lease is up in spring, so we'll be looking for a new 'vert for her. Trying to convince her to go with a Miata, but we may buy out her lease since they don't make the Beetle anymore, or get a leftover 19 Beetle.

I took the dogs to the groomer last week and while I was waiting went to Chick-Fil-A to eat and in the Fox Valley Mall parking lot, the Ford dealer was using the empty lot for car storage and this fucker really caught my eye, but I don’t really want to take on a bigger payment right now.....

Im ready for another camaro. The 6th gen SS's are cheap, and you can steal a newer used 10 speed car for peanuts. I'd like a 2019+ 2SS 10 speed car with the NPP exhaust. Not going to waste money on 1LE or mag ride. I'd like to get one stock, then work on it doing a cam/heads and headers on my own this time.

This is what id like to do. Realistically I should probably find a replacement for the junk Focus before the transmission explodes and I have to pay for the repairs myself.

That red is nice. I looked at a white one and blue one the other day but I have the same problem of not wanting a bigger car payment.
