So I used to own a beautiful 2003 Nissan 350Z, 3 years later 2 weeks before I got married I crashed it ( 2nd worst day of my life ). I did 6000$ in damage to it not to mention my emotional pain. So 3 months later my wife decided I didn't need the car anymore
, so I sold it to keep her happy ( absolutely the worst day of my life ). I traded it straight across for a 2006 Dodge Magnum station wagon, custom leather interior, side trim removed and 22" wheels. Ever since then I have had a massive emptiness inside
.
Well my wife being the good woman she is noticed how sad I was ever since she made me sell my 350Z ( 1.5 years ago ). So she said to me one day " I think its time we sold the Magnum. " Whhhhhhhhhat. You have a company truck and don't need a daily driver and I have my Honda so why not get another sports car.
Excellent
So I was originally thinking about getting a new Challenger SRT8 but it looks like the dealers are jacking the price up past the MSRP so I began to think. Whats a car thats original, not too many people have (don't see in front of every Starbucks), will scare the crap out of me and not cost an arm, leg and a kidney.
How about a new Lotus?
I'm thinking about a new Lotus Elise or Lotus Exige S. The difference is a little bit of body styling, the Exige is supercharged. The Elise does 0-60mph in 4.9s and the Exige 0-60mph in 4.1s. and the big difference about 10 grand.
Lotus Exige S ( MSRP 67,750 $ )
Lotus Elise ( MSRP 54,500 $ )
So what do you think, good choice or bad choice?
Wich Model?
Color?
I'm thinking about getting something in the next year, so lots of input would be great.
