Keep them coming!
-Corvettes I'll definitely pass I'm not a fan of them to own one, especially at that price.
-Ecoboost I hear have decent gettyup but I don't think I could ever own a Mustang that's not a V8 especially when I live like 5 miles from my job.
-BMW's I'm kinda staying away because that's what I DD now and I want something different.
-E55's AMG's I hear are beasts so I'll have to do some research on them and see if they come in manual.

I daily drive an 05 Scion TC 5 speed that I picked up for a $1000 bucks because the previous owner thought it needed a new transmission. Dropped the transmission out of the car and noticed 2 springs on the clutch were gone. New clutch and it's been solid since.
My lady drives an 08 Mazdaspeed 3. Definitely a fun little car once you put a rear solid motor mount on it.

I have the 6 speed manual, no problems other than radiator needed replaced. I'm still on the original brake pads... just hit 120k

I think I definitely want to stay with RWD but I do kinda like the looks on the newer Honda Accords. Anyone own one of them?
I have no kids so I definitely don't want any one of those gas saver compact cars, more along the lines of sporty/comfort type of cars. Yes I know I'm picky on my cars but I'm also gonna spend some good pennies on these cars.

I'd pass on an e55 or any foreign car that is out of warranty. Unless you really want to work on your own ride or pay big bucks at a shop.

Well I've always worked on my own cars so I just worry about common issues and part prices.

I'm looking for a DD also... Getting rid of the 2013 Lexus is250 F sport...
I would recommend it to anyone that isn't to big lol. I'm 6ft. And I hit my head getting into that thing. I had a black 550i m sport before and I loved it. But I'm sticking to Lexus again. Might look at some gs350s

Only Camaros I like are the first generation. Plus I have a better chance leaving my fox out at night than a catfish nowadays.

Choosing a new DD is harder than I thought. I'm going to keep looking around at some of the suggestions I like. I don't want to just jump on any car too soon and end up regretting it.

x2 to this. Get yourself a reliable 4 banger and have the 5.0 as a like a weekend warrior so when it breaks you will still have a nice daily. A cheap reliable car is a 97/01 camry.

I hear what you guys are saying but I just want something else. I currently DD a '04 325i, it has no issues it's just that I'm kinda tired of it but I also don't want no bucket.
