After the season is over with my primary biz, I'm gonna try to get a part time gig at the bmw dealer here. With employee discount, you can lease a 7 hybrid for 425/mo.....so, probably that

Barring that, at some point next summer, ill probably buy a base cayenne.

Jwasbury, that price is just shy of absurd, but that car gives me a major stiffy

I would really like a Cayman. I'm unsure if it should replace my current DD and SC or just be a DD. No rush, but every time I see one on the road I think about it.

A used Jeep (probably an older CJ or a Wrangler) to use as a tow vehicle behind our RV.

Interested in a track-prepped (DE) 944S2? Ping me.

Too busy with home, work, and school projects to enjoy my '44, so I'd rather put it in someone's hands who could enjoy it.

Last time I drove it was this spring at Monticello. Sady, really...

I'll probably buy a 2003/2004 Land Rover Discovery 4.6 with a blown motor.... they're all over the place, cheap. So why not?

Great question. Boxster w/ a hardtop is fine, I know if I drive a Cayman I'll most likely buy it. I need to figure out my house situation before I do that.

Unless I perform a common sense intervention on myself, a white 2012 Cayman S W/PDK.

Actually, can anyone confirm a new e63 coupe?

My MB guy says yes, others say no...

That, or you just need another one so that you always have one or the other in the shop being worked on, and you can drive whichever one is running at the time in comfort.

My Ranger is plum wore out. 200+K miles. I may just get another ranger. I'd like to get better mileage than 20 but each time I pencil it out there's not that much difference and the 4.0L is a hoot to drive. We'll see. Either that or something enclosed, but it's have to support some larger items. Like a speaker cabinet with at least four 10's.

Supe, if you have CNG filling stations in your area, look for a CNG powered full sized pickup. Same mileage more or less, and the fuel is WAY cheaper...

For me:

DD-JEEP Wrangler-I've always wanted one and I'm not getting any younger.

Fun car-nothing unless a great deal on 993 comes up and I sell the SC to get it.

Wife: I won't know until she bugs me enough to ok the purchase.

Entirely dependent on where my career goes in the next few years. I really have no idea.

If I need something practical: Audi S4, BMW M3 or X5/Cayenne

If not: 80's or early 90's 911
