Get a Solstice, or wait for a Sky. Nice head turning cars, but nothing insane. Those would both make a great toy car. You could use the extra 15-20K for more important things.

A neon? they are sexy!

BTW..... if you look at a benz... let me know.... I have accesss to... um... info ;)

[gergwheel]

2001+ BMW M3 is my vote. Those cars are the sex! and pretty quick too. if you want more power there are companies making blower kits for them, although they are VERY pricey.

I'm disappointed in myself for not saying that too... $40k is a hell of a down payment on a house.

Then spread the payment out and take that $700/mo (the approx. payment on a $40k loan for 6 years) and put it into a high-yield (lets assume 12%) investment for those same 6 years and you'd have a $73k down payment on a house.. Even a lower-yield savings acct(3%) would net you $55k

I was going to say the same thing. Used M3, two door, black. :drool: 20 more ponies than my bimmer, and mine goes.

or if you want something newer than a chevette (and not those silly corvette listings) then the Ariel Atom

Considering I'm only 20, I don't wanna end up like my parents situation.

In retrospect, I second the saving it solution;

But then again, what if the car you buy will get a decent return? But at that point it might not fall under the "toy car", but the collectiable.
