Looking at getting some new wheels
So I think I have it a list going.
Must be under $70k
Atom
Exige
EvoX MR 40k + 15k on upgrades. Makes a nice car.
Anything else?
I love the Lotus.. But the atom is plain sexy...

Good choices....
I like the Exige .... Toyota power ....
KTM has had some motor problems in the past and have burned some people. Love the car, But the atom I think is better, And its honda powered...
I'm going to do some more test drives over the week. I wish the STi was differant. I just have a hard time getting over that hatch look.
After the test drives. i'll look to see what geico is going to quote me per car.

GTR? They are definitely NOT NOT NOT going to be 70K. ANd even if you could go to a dealer and pick one out from the lot, markup would be a killer. Wait a year or two, and then get the Spec V. Yum!
E92 M3? Cool, but a bit heavy, like everything else these days. Make sure you ge the coupe with the lighter CF roof. And no SMG/dual clutch/paddle crap!
C6 Z06? Great deal for the money, might be a bit over 70K, but everybody is going to hate me for suggesting that, more than likely.
Or continue saving, get a loan, sell a kidney, get a Desmosedici, put in a heated and air conditioned garage, wait 20 years, and sell it for crazy profit!
Oh, an Exige S would be very cool too. Light weight+good handling=FUN!
i love them one of my dream cars!
