I'm a Valet. It's a big deal to more people than you think. And it doesn't end with the car, most people tip $20-$100 to have it parked up front and show it off. I personally love those kind of people lol

I too just got rid of my 40th, I just purchased a 2012 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 4x4.

I thought about it briefly but I am pretty sure they won't sell for less than $80k at first. If I am going to spend that much I think I would start looking at 911s or GT-Rs.

Lol, whatever floats your boat I guess. I typically laugh at people like that, but Im also the guy who has humbly parked my car in the back of the lot and am walking 10 minutes to reach my destination.

All kidding aside, everything listed so far seems like a downgrade to me - with exception to the m3 and m5. I'd personally take a look at a 1m if you could stretch your budget a bit further. Just my 2c.

Oh yeah, get a Ford SVT Raptor and you can ditch your old truck.

drove a different E60 M5, this one with a bad *** exhaust on it, i'm pretty much sold......I did find one IS-F that I liked and the E63s are surprisingly cheap!

We'll see what shakes out this week...

I'm trying to sell mine, but i'm going to have to downgrade. I thought about the '11 WRX or maybe another older Evo IX... but the problem for me is that I want something quick.. likely AWD but has better safety which the Evo IX does NOT have. 2 star side impact for them. Subi's are known for their safety though.

Come out to one of the mid a meets and I'll show you my wrx. It's a very solid choice.

I'm actually thinking about downgrading to a WRX. So attached to the Z, though. :/

sfearl1 · 11-27-2011, 03:56 PM

^^ 2011 WRX ftw

sfearl1 · 11-27-2011, 06:02 PM

^^ keep the Z dude. i went over to the "other" side when i bought my Evo X. awd turbo cars are a blast, but don't hold a candle to the Z's sexiness and sports car appeal. i just got back into a Z and i'm happy now. if i had to do it over, i would've gotten the Z brand new, paid it down/off, then sprung for a used '11 WRX (wide body) as a fun DD. either that, or a used Raptor
