I honestly don't think it would be worth it to throw down big coin on a high end new car right after grad, it kind of ties you to it. If I was to buy another car today, I would be looking slightly used (~20k or so). I think I would like to try a wankel car out, but I have heard the maintenance is a killer.

Jesse - How much do you think the Elise will be? $30k-$40k???? I'd love to drive one of those hunnies, they seem to be TREMENDOUS sports cars... I'd love to have more info on them.

after the 2nd gen project gets boring, maybe one of the select few listed
01 p5 of lease return (paid for in full) with a T3/custom turbo set up . full coilover set up/and the works.... (maybe a BP drop in)
00 jetta / w/T3 turbo , custom or kit (car has much more parts out/ full coilover set up / full race/with a pinch of street.
95-97 civic hatch w/T3turbo and B18 or B16 swap. lowered/full bracing/full race.. (I love this shape)
The civic seems to be #1 the p5 #2 and the jetta #3... ofcourse I will have a second car, and still pursuing my degree in massage therapy/occupational therapy

if i win the lottery i'd get a M5 (always wanted one over the M3 becasue I would need 4 doors).
if i got a job promotion or new job i'd get a Saab 9-3 convert.
i would still keep my MP5 in both cases becasue I think it is a great car, just would not keep putting money into other mods.

Volvo Sport wagon. I love the utility and sportiness: Hence, being a junior engineer, the P5 is perfect for me.

If I won the lotto I'd get one of the new Maserati Coupe's. Looked at one at the Houston Auto Show, sexy and fast.
