My intro / cross-shopping questions

I'll check out the M... I've heard the used car market is pretty tough right now. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm in the same boat as you with the Camaro, I think its cool and I hope it does well... its just not my thing. I think I'd still like to see one in person before I buy anything, but if the interior is anything but 180 degrees from what I see in pictures I'm not sure I could see owning one.

My budget is basically as follows: I bought a tractor 3 years ago, financed at 0%. Coming up this fall, that 500$ / mo. payment will be going away. I'd like to see a net monthly gain when that happens, even if its 100 bucks a month. I won't take a loan for more than 5 years. Voila... budget. If I have to save a while for something thats going to make me happy and hit those numbers, its not the end of the world. I could buy a Corolla or something but I'm a software engineer so by definition I'm already dorky and pissed off enough as is.

I do wish the 18"s were styled like the 19s. The 19s are some sweet looking wheels. I know the tire wear thing seems counterintuitive to a lot of people and I understand the argument. I'm going on what I know about myself... if I wind up spending 2 grand a year on tires, its going to bother me to the point that I probably wouldn't enjoy the car as much. Thats just me though...
