I've been flipping between a few different cars, but have narrowed it down to vehicles with dealerships in Winnipeg. So that leaves me with R8, 911 Turbo, AMG GT, SLS AMG ( ), new NSX (not likely to happen before summer).

Walked into the MB dealer here and was looking at the AMG GT pretty hard for a while, getting familiar with the angles, etc. but I must have looked too poor to buy one because the group of salesman 30 ft away didn't both with me.

The SLS AMG is my top choice, but prices are going up (FFS) and options are limited.

SLS are so cramped inside. Raced one in Vegas and it was a terrible seating position. If you're 5'10" or shorter should be ok.

I have always wanted to buy a 90s car that I aspired to buy when I was younger so I keep searching for a good LHD 90s MR2 or an NSX provided that I still have a job come break up

I fit the SLS fine. Be careful though, the SLS has been known to go through trannys every 25-30k miles, with a $30k repair bill each time.

The GT-S uses the same transmission but at least it's under warranty. It's the same old Getrag that's problematic on the 458, California, McLarens, etc.

at some point, an Evo IX wagon.. but that's at least 5 years out yet.

Must have been because of my helmet maybe. I'm fairly broad so it wasn't great for me. The 458 fit me like a glove

[speedog]

Next car? Well, it will be a work vehicle and I'm leaning towards a van, full size probably - if the right 80-90's boogie van or a 60's van came along, I'd seriously consider that as well.

Yup. As fucked up as it is, cars have nearly always been impulse buys for me. If I pick a car that I know I want, I will never buy it. I think it's because the more research I do, the higher my bar becomes. Has to be the right year, right colour with the right options at the right price.

I suppose if I were buying new then it'd be less of an issue, but I can't afford any of the new cars that I want, haha.

That's kind of funny, exact opposite for me, I can honestly say only one car I've ever bought has been a true impulse buy (and I've owned close to 50 cars), like "huh, noticed this on kijiji", call the guy, its still for sale, test drive it, go get the cash and done.

That was this Corolla last year:


I was drooling over a used C63 amg for 2016 or a new Focus RS... but I might be buying some land to build an acreage on. Dunno if that has me or , but I have to have my priorities straight, and the acreage should allow me to better manage my racing (said no one ever)

[pheoxs]

Probably a used bmw 3 series, maybe an M3. Love my fiesta but want something a bit nicer / more luxurious next time around

[KPHMPH]

Tesla, preferably P90D

[ExtraSlow]

Base model F150.

I'm only 5' 11", should be ok.

I didn't know that. I was actually going to message you if I was getting serious about either MB car. What about a black series like the one you had? I see a couple are for sale in Canada (yours included).

Going to get rid of the GTR this year and have a few on the radar including GT350, new Camaro. Really like the boxster spyder too since the GT4 is out of reach.

But if the economy is still bleak S2000 with built k24 is what I'm shooting for.

You clearly have too much money! 135 and a GTR AND a civic baaaaalllleerrr lol

[dirtsniffer]

I was thinking about a Chevy ss but the dollar is so fucked it may not happen

Soo maybe a 5 year old Lexus LS

[Maxt]

Viper ACR or Hellcat Jeep.

[Redlined_8000]

Going to put the c63 for sale in a few months here. Gonna miss the hell out of that thing. As far as what I was going to get I am considering a new 10th Gen civic si as a daily only if it has a 2.0t engine. Focus rs and sti are on my radar if the sti was to get the newly developed 2.0t engine... but I don't feel comfortable spending 50k on a focus, they are pretty ugly IMO. I will probably just drive my 8th gen civic for a while and wait to find a car worthy.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Another S2000, NA/NB Miata or ITR most likely. I've just realized new cars aren't for me.

Or if I really strike it rich an NSX.

[andyg16]

I think my next car will be a sports car..depending on how things go in O&G. My first choice would be a C7 Z06, but the new camaros are really nice as well, not to mention cheaper.

[haggis88]

So many on the want list, but so many that would go to waste on Calgarys roads/climate

Probably end up with some beater if I manage to get a job in the city, would try to make that at least a little bit interesting

When it comes to cars I wish I could be back in the UK, just for the cheapness and availability of decent spec'd cars, and good roads to drive them on

[bjstare]

C63/ISF/M3/CTS-V

Or if I hold out for a couple years, and it's actually a good driver, the Infiniti Q70 with the 400hp turbo.

And probably in the next year or two a CR-V or Rav4 for the wife.
