Z4 2.5i starts at $32, 3.0i starts at $40. Very reasonable and realistic. I could have gone without a car for another 3 years and gotten that instead, with a little investment.

You can get a Lotus Elise for $20,000.

Ya, but those things don't even have air conditioning, do they?

They do, it's just that it may not work :wink:

Are you kidding jont?! Americans want fast, big, and loud. The bigger the better, and faster the better, and the louder the better. I prefer smaller... I'm a Euro car fan, so you can't use me as an American opinion. I want a VW Lupo 3L TDi, but you'll NEVER see a mini car in the US!

you want LOUD and FAST. well, it's not a car but should satisfy both of those criteria.

I don't like loud cars that fall apart, that's FORD!! I only mentioned the Lotus as a joke. Yeah, it may cost $20,000 to buy it, but it'll cost $100,000 a year to maintain it!

Skoda's don't fall apart (well, not the newer ones). Moose, your car's transmissions fall out! They've been recalled for it; my aunt's Acura's transmission fell out, hilarious.

Ya, my brother's 3.2TL was recalled. But who cares? They fixed it for my car's generation, and if anything comes up, I'm friends with the person that owns the 3 largest dealerships in town, Ford, Acura/Saab, and one other... I forget. Oh well. But anyway, it's not problem.
