So I'm looking at cars..
...online for my wife. I think I might have her convinced in geting a Porsche Cayenne (sp). Any how, you know how it goes you start wandering off and looking at all the other "options". I'm always on the look out for "THAT" car. You know the one that sits in the grage until a nice sunny day. Well, I have high hopes, but until I hit the numbers I have to keep them realistic if I want to keep peace at the house. So I set my goals low-err, eh, er. I have looked at a few things to consider in the past. My list has contained:
Old school 911 Carrera
Viper
NSX
the new Lotus' (there pretty reasonably priced, cheap actually, second hand)
Cobra replica
But, as I was searching, I think I may have found the one.....1991 BMW 850CSI baby. Yeah. Rare, fast, and timeless. Any how, it just had me thinking on what you guys have or want in your garage for "THAT" car. Here is the only rule. $50k limit...start............now.

a late 1969 Cudawith the 440ci engine
1969 Firebird....like this one...I've emailed this guy about the car..but my kid needs surgery first[:@]http://www.dealsonwheels.com/search/...NTIAC_FIREBIRD
any 1968 Camaro
olds 442...could be the sexiest muscle car ever made..IMO
1979 Chevy Scottsdale pick-up. My dad taught me to drive on that truck and When he died I told him I would find the truck and bring it back home...been looking seriously for 2 years now with no luck..I guess that's one promise to my pops that I won't be able to keep. It would be awesome to teach my sons how to drive on that truck

Mine was over the limit. 2003 50th Anniversary Convertible Corvette. Complete engine rebuild, supercharged, upgraded Z06 brakes, 610 HP at the rear wheel. Never drive the thing though. 8K miles on it.

1969 Camaro SS
This would be nice too: 1951 Mercury
IF I had to go foreign:
2007 Mercedes Mclaren:
The new SLR “722 Edition” isn’t going to be cheap and definitely not for slow drivers. This beauty has an increased output of 650 horsepower, a tailor-made suspension configuration, and a much sportier interior. It’s super fast going from 0-62 mph in 3.6 seconds and reaching 124 mph at 10.2 seconds with top speed of 209 mph.
