What is likely your next car...
 
purchase? And why? I bought a 2001 Boxster last May so I cant think that far ahead:)

Just sold a 2006 BMW 330i and bought a 2012 Mustang.

Cayman S. Track prepped. (Or will build it up from stock with my shop) Preferrably a 2009 or newer, with the direct injection motor.

You just had to ask didn't you? I really don't have a clue. Boxster S, 996, 3series? It all depends on the play to DD ratio.

Cadillac CTS-V Wagon. On order and scheduled for production week of December 5th.

Why? Because a 556hp wagon with a 6 speed manual only comes around once in a lifetime.

Dodge/Chrysler mini van for the company. :eek:

As it happens, that is exactly the model I plan to buy next spring.

BMW E28 M5 or a lesser E28 with an engine swap in mind. Other possibility is a late 928. For me. What can I say, I like older cars.

VW Mk 1 Rabbit. For daughter. What can I say, I like older cars.

The next Prius, or a plug-in conversion for our current Prius. For wife. What can I say, I like not buying gas.

70 El Camino. or a W211 E55. Depending on what appears.

964 carrera 4, preferably just a little scruffy and pre-scratched

I do have a weakness for Merecedes e500 4matic wagons though. If one of those popped up I could be in trouble, but it would be at the expense of a 964

You'll have to let us know how that goes. That is one car I would seriously consider if I found myself with a duffle bag full of cash.

I won't need a car for much highway use soon, so my next DD thoughts include the Fiat 500 Abarth and the Ford Fiesta ST (if they go into production). At any rate, it's a couple of years off.

Too many variables in my life to really know.

944's are like potato chips though, unless you hit a really bad one, you likely won't just stop at one.(I'm at 2 1/2")

Tesla Model S

Such a beautiful car with all the utility I need. Oh yeah, not having to purchase gas is a plus too. Until the Model S came on the scene I was considering a VW Passat TDI.

flipper35 11-21-2011 07:54 AM

I don't think we need another car for a while but I do plan on building a new small block motor. I think I need another hundred horse or so, so I can get down to 4.85 lbs/hp instead of the 6.28 lbs/hp I have now but still remain streetable.

Asking price is nuts, but this looks like it could be a real sleeper:
2006 Mercedes E500

Boy that's no joke. I'm out of room or I'd have already bought a 3rd

Sarc 11-21-2011 08:21 AM

Changes daily....but most likely a Ur-S6, E39, 964 C2 or a E28 of some sort prepped in the spirit of Ron Perry's work. With the occasional thought of an E55 W211 as well...

Drdogface 11-21-2011 08:29 AM

Jeep Wrangler..two door Rubicon....just bought one last month. Will be a DD but also good for trails and Nevada desert.

I am so much enjoying the comfort of the Jag that I constantly look for another one.
