Here are some other shots, including my cool license plate!

OR

Go for an '80s BMW (Bavarian hippie chick optional). Nothing too fancy.

Lotus Elise would be cheap enough, but wouldnt leave enough for the height-reduction surgery required for me to fit into the thing.

So probably... That Skyline posted above. Or a Mini Cooper S.


Boxter's are very cheap. You'd have a ton of money left.

I'd import a Skyline and get it up to about 500 hp and get some suspension mods. I'd be happy.

If I had $100,000 I'd use part of it to take various courses on car construction and mechanics. Then I'd buy the biggest, beefiest off the shelf engine, set it up with a turbocharger. The body would be a one or two-seater with tires about 1.5x as wide as the typical car's, like Nascar tires only with treads so I don't hydroplane into a solid object and/or predestrian.

That's my ideal car.


Well, that or the Moeller aircar, but - as mentioned - $100,000 isn't enough to buy that.

Yes H2's are under $100k

heres another car that y'all might take a look at. last i checked it was under $40,000, and its faster than a covette. (It's super light w/only 150 horses)

IMO, an Elise it would be crazy to own an Elise for anything other than a second car. No space, extremely uncomfortable (hard racing buckets, the passenger seat is 2/3 the size of the driver's), and redefines the word 'cacophony'. Sure, it does thew 0-60 sprint in 4.2 and pulls 1.04g on the skidpad, but practicality wise, it's sunk.

Personally, I would have to go for a '87 Buick Grand National GNX (around $45,000 excellant condition). 3.8 liter V6, single turbo 330 (rumored, official power outputs were supressed so as not to exceed GM's darling, the Corvette) hp, 0-60 of about 4.5. Modern-classic muscle car. And, old car means low insurance. :)

Nobody said it would be your ONLY car :)

I'd have a hard time turning down an Exige, but I think driving my 500hp Skyline Z-Tune would make me feel better.
