So here's my deal. I'm hoping to be getting a promotion by summer's end, and my celi is bumping 150,000... I want a new car because I will be able to afford it, for one, and im not down for buying new struts on my car at this point with a headgasket that could go anytime soon (compression test at 114,000 showed a leaky cylinder, and she burns oil quite a bit)... that said, I've always had a few cars on my mind, plus some new ones to consider. Ive always wanted a miata, but the second gen is a very tight squeeze for me, and the new ones are roomier, but i'd be getting a stripper model... Always liked the last preludes, but the chances of finding a nice low milage one are slim... The new civic coupe is what im leaning towards for now, but I havent driven it yet, and the last one was WAY too wheezy for my taste (dont think i'd want an Si's insurance rates, or need it's please give me tickets speedy reputation). The new honda fit has really caught my eye because at 16 G, its super cheap for what you get, fairly quick, and awsome on fuel... MR2 spyder has been coming up in my head latly, but matienece has to be no fun in a MR car... Im open to suggestions, but realistic ones. If i go used, i dont want more that 50XXX on it, and my budget I'd like to keep at about 22Gs TOPS (meaning tax, title, license)... My big thing is I like somewhat unique cars, so dont point me at a WRX, ok?
