Update - pulled the trigger - Thinking of buying a car....
See post #25
I'm thinking of adding a car that I will drive everyday, looking for power, quickness, handling and it must be an old school manual transmssion. Prefer a 2 door, convertible is nice but not a must have. No more garage space so it will sit in the driveway and I want to be able to park it in a resturant or store parking lot without worring about someone messing with it. Cars I'm considering for a test drive before I narrow it down - Anyone have any of these cars and can share some insight? 08 BMW M3 coupe 07 Corvette Z06 10 Shelby GT500 10 Camaro SS 09 Audi S5 0? BMW M5 Not on the list for $$ reasons and it needs to sit in the driveway (when not in every day good weather use) vs inside the garage and I don't want to worry about it. Also more of a dream car list for me. Ford GT Aston Martin Vantage Ferrari California Ferrari 348 or 360 Corvette ZR1 Lambo Gallardo Last edited by X5rolls; 12-25-2009 at 08:22 AM.

Here you go. Its really a great car. The handling is great, old school stick shift, and this is limited edition because of the interior is butterscotch colored. It also has a leather dash and suede headliner
for the two and a half years he's owned it, the only reason it has been to the dealer is for oil changes and one problem (flywheel replacement).

This is your list of "leave in the driveway and not worry about someone messing with it in a parking lot?" You must be over-vehicled.
 08 BMW M3 coupe 07 Corvette Z06 10 Shelby GT500 10 Camaro SS 09 Audi S5 0? BMW M5

What I posted probaby came out the wrong way - first I'm probably crazy for wanting another one and I don't NEED another vehicle. I'm very fortunate and greatly appreciate what I have. My garage is too small and my desire for cars is much bigger. So you are right, for some, I am way over vehicled.

 I like all the cars in your list, but am a Vette fan; I would sub a Z51 C6 for the Z06, as I think the non-Z06 is a better daily/frequent driver; there are ubiquitous used C6s out there like foreclosed homes. All the other rides are very cool too, but I would personally look at clean used MYs on those models, especially for "sitting" in your driveway... Wish I had your conundrum!  GL,mD

Chevy dealer called and will come back back with a better offer and make it a GM certified used car which equates to 12 months 12k miles bumper to bumper, plus comprehensive inspection etc. on top of the standard 100k mile powertrain warranty. If they are willing to make a really really good deal down from their asking price, I'll have to give it more consideration.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JoSB5_PF0Y Starting to look at the available Shelby GT500 convertibles in the eastern 1/2 of the US today. Not sure about colors, I want to see the Kona Blue in person, in one of the pictures it looked a little purple. Metallic grey with black stripes is interesting and the black with white stripes is striking but hard to keep clean. YouTube - First Test: 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 Again, I recognize how very fortunate I am to have these kind of choices to sort out. Last edited by X5rolls; 12-15-2009 at 12:15 PM.
