So, right now, I'm a young buck. I'm looking for a car that I can hit turns with at 40mph. I'm ALSO looking for a car that I can be comfortable in for a long time.

I just drove my Accord for 20 hours over a 2 day period, and I was very comfortable the whole way - I want that kinda feel, but in a more powerful car. It doesn't NEED to be more agile, I mean, the only reason I can hit turns hard in my automatic tranny Accord is 'cause it's got a 2.5" drop, otherwise I would normally drop a gear when I make the turn.

The G35 is a big draw for me, but I am so hesitant to pull the trigger on it because it has absolutely no storage space... granted, it has more than a corvette, but once again, I just drove 20 hours for what? To move my girlfriend and ALL HER STUFF from Utah to here. I'd like to be able to do that in the future.

The Volvo and the Cadillac are really high on my list next to the G35. With the Volvo, I get everything I need, in a slightly more dignified and practical package. The Caddy is all about class too. They won't be MUCH of an engine upgrade, but they'll be cars that my mom can work on her needle point crafts in while sitting in the passenger seat because they are so smooth.

The Impreza would be all about fun. Very few luxury features.. I'd probably have to put them in aftermarket. Does it have any storage space? I'd hope so.

I think I've decided that I'll save the BMW for my midlife crisis.

The Acura and Honda come next on my list. Zippy cars with the same feel as my Accord... while they are both perfectly awesome and desirable cars.. they would be more of the same - just and engine upgrade. If someone has a good arguement for these cars over the rest, let me hear it.

The SC400 has been a subtle favorite for me when I pass it on the road. It's very sporty and it's very clean. The only thing is that it's gotta be used... if I can find one used, I have to consider WHY it's no longer wanted by it's owner. Hmmm.. I don't wanna inherit someone else's problems.

Keyser, if you can find me an SL500 for that much, I WOULD PISS MY PANTS! Holy shit! Even the old models are fucking sexy as hell. How did you KNOW!?!
