Was looking to possibly buy a Shelby

You guys are crazy for looking to get a different car after owning a car for ONE year...... yikes. Then again, if you have the means I guess, why not. LOL. For me, I keep my cars at least 7 years if not more.

Well, that is the fiscally responsible thing to do.

I'm trying to force myself to hold on to this one for at least two years... maybe more.

No, not really. I just have a car disease. I had the Z for 18 months total. After about 12 months with it I was actively looking for something else.

The same thing is starting to happen with the 5.0. I've been looking at some BMWs. But I kind of want to force myself to hold on to it a little longer just from a pure financial point of view. I'm very happy with the car, so it's not that big of a deal if I "force" myself to keep it.

I try to keep my cars 3 years. I got the Z early 09, so looks like parting out might happen soon. I really can't get over how "bulky" the mustang feels inside. Everything feels too heavy, like its not meant to be a sports car. Choices look like:

- 2010 M3
- 2009 GT-R
- 2010 Cayman S

Leaning towards that GT-R a lot, but its not realistic just yet since it's in the 60's+

A USED 09 GTR is still in the 60's? dayyyyyummmmm

murphman · 07-27-2011, 10:07 AM

have yall had any thought in maybe going older like lets say early 2000's z06 and moding it a little? Maybe not a z06 but you know, something not new that can be had at a good price with potential that wont break the bank?
