don't like Porsches... Aston is an interesting suggestion, but they are expensive to maintain as well

ur sending 80K on a "weekend" car.....likely u wont put that many KMs on it....
if you have 80K worth of disposable income...you really shouldn't be concerned about maintenance cost here.

I'd be more concerned w/ access to a good shop, assuming you live the in GVRD, you are fine since you are close to all the exotic dealerships.

for 80K you can get an AM DB9 Volante, you get the "classiness" of an Aston Martin, its sporty and its pretty nice to cruise top down.

r34 GTR won't get the OP the pussy he wants. Might as well buy a civic and spend the remaining amount on some ladies of the night.

R8 or GTR would be my choice. Awd would make it a great car year round. Snow included with the right tires.

If I had 80k for a weekend car, it wouldn't be anything made in the last 20 years, but wether its a "pussy magnet" or not isn't high on my list.
e30 m3 and 50k in mods.

348

930

Testarossa

In that order.

If you read the original post it says if you had 80k to spend what would you buy.

I stated what I would purchase.

No where in the post does he say he has 80k, sounds like if anything he is in a mid life crisis and is in dire need of a woman.

Be different and get a Jag? They are beautiful and have character. Maserati Gran Turismo is ok too but I usually see teenagers driving those cars.



Haha I love how British cars look. There's just something about those British cars...

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

OH FUCK YOU OH OH OOOOH~

Until you take them for a ride in it..

Do you know what girls like? Girls seem to like suede and alcantara. They go nuts over that stuff.
