If you had $25K what would you buy?

If I'm modding, I'm not concerned with warranty. Looking at this as a toy (not a DD), I'd buy a track toy that you could buy AND mod for under 25k, like a used Miata or S2k, or if you're more into drag, maybe a used stang. Best of both worlds, maybe a C5Vette

But if this car needs to be practical, I wouldn't mod a lot and would avoid RWD due to weather. Get a GTI.

This would be a pretty hard choice for me because the S2000 has been and still is one of my dream cars that I could one day buy and build from the ground up and keep my Z as a DD. It doesn't snow in SoCal and the rain isn't horrific even though it can get bad sometimes so I would be fairly ok driving my Z all the time.
I've always wanted a silver/white s2k with red interior, carbon fiber top, turbocharged, V3 coils, a sexy set of rims and a big (functional) spoiler. A loud dual exhaust would be nice too. That, my Z, a Bugatti Renaissance, Zonda convertible, and a Agera R in my garage at my Newport Beach house and I'll be as happy as can be
