What car to buy next??

I have been wondering what car to buy next, think the WRX is going to get put out to pasture for something new. Any thoughts?

Hmmm, what are you looking for? Something new? Something different? Another turbo tuner car?

Personally, with spring/summer here, I'm really feeling the draw of roadsters. Old school British ones, or perhaps an S2000.

Too bad I live in an area where I'd have to store it for a good portion of the year every year.

I really have no idea, just time for something new.

I had been looking at the new Legacy as I don't really need another fun car (I have in the process of being built track GC8 with a prototype motor and a 240 with a built SR20) so more something I can get in and just drive anywhere.

It really depends on what you're looking for. I'll be replacing my WRX in the next year or so. I've basically had it with 4 cylinders, they're all I've ever owned more or less. I'm considering several cars:
C5 Z06
C6
'96-'98 Viper GTS
supercharged G35 coupe or 350Z
supercharged SVT Cobra
'05 or newer GTO
E46 M3
'06 Mustang Shelby GT500

something to just get in and drive... best choice would be a 99 carrera, you can get one for under 30,000. And they drive very nice.

I have driven a couple of Legacy GT's and liked them although not sure still what I want, seems I might have to get something to tow all the other cars I have that are in various states of being worked on.

Anyone got any idea's for a good tow truck?

I would suggest an M6 because it has 500 ponies and for only 350 bucks you can buy a rev and top speed delete chip. Then you would be able to go over the 200 mph mark. Only $100,000.
