New or used? What do you pick, and why?

I think for me it would be a new or very slightly used 350z, but I might have to consider a used g35 coupe as well. It would be nice to have a back seat so more than one passenger could ride with me.

What would you guys buy?

Evo 8? 03-ish STI? um... really if it was me i would be looking into a used Skyline. they have come down enough where you can buy an early 90's model in canada (or one tagged in the US if you wait on ebay long enough) with low miles in excelent shape. just my .02

** Current status: 9 bent valves. and it only had 6,000 miles on it. i hope the replacement goes well. **

Lots of expensive parts, and still slow! Oh wait, it has to run to go fast.

id buy a jeep tj haha, and then a turbo eclipse.

one time i thought that if i won the lottery, I would pay like four people from these forums to come to my house and build the shit out of my 2gnt.... it was quite a strange thought....

Thank you mobil one for rust proofing my driveway.

I would buy a reliable Honda Fit, and use the rest to pay off the mortgage.

If it has to be used on a car, an r32 gtr skyline. Use the rest to refresh and build the hell out of it.

If it all has to be used on the car, probably a used Lotus Motorsport Elise.

Edit: Why? Look at it, and you won't need to ask. Hot secks.
