Erm, do you OWN the Sunnybrook Auto Spa? Or is that a side job or something? I only ask that because you're looking at some relatively high dollar vehicles.

As much as I like Supra's, I don't know if I could own one. I never really cared for their interior styling. That is why I'd go RX7 over Supra.

Between all of those cars listed, I think the E46 M3 would be nice to have as a daily, but throwing tons of money at it will still keep you "slow".

The TL is definitely a sweet ride, my wife likes them. Now we are talking about being even slower. Granted, I would probably look more into Caddy CTS-V's when it came to a TL or that as I like the V better than the TL. Just call me grandpa.

There is a lot out there whether it be a nice supra (which is going to be an easy 25-30K), a newer E46 M3 which is going to be expensive to mod, or a TL which will keep you classy and slow, you have a tough decision to make


Recap:

Supra's are overpriced and getting old in their age. To top it off, their interior is junk, get an RX-7 with an LS1.

Caddy over TL

I'm a big fan of the CTS-V too but they are expensive to maintain. I hate to defend the Honda/Acura, but there's not much you can do to them to really have problems getting them serviced from what I've heard. I was told there was an S2000 that broke the transmission or rearend (I forget) multiple times that came in there with some kind of f/i doing extremely hard launches continuing to break the car and they kept replacing it under warranty... lol

I'd like a TL, TSX, or CTS-V if I wanted to get a reasonably priced but moderately expensive grown up sporty/classy car. Lincoln makes a few neat cars too.

i want something somewhat modable, and that your not going to see everyday. it will have to be something that i can put some kind of forced induction on as well the tl-s look SICK modded right but even supercharged there only what 320whp at best? price for price and m3 and tl-s are about the same, so that would be stupid to get the tl-s. cts-v is a big no for me i would just get a vett if i was going to do that. zero what car is yours, its very likely ive seen/hurd it drive by.

a 2jz s2000 sounds nice hahaha
