You'll have to admit those 25K Mustang GTs are a lot of bang for the buck.

I owned a few and played with other peoples exoticars back in the early to mid '70s, when used ones were relatively cheap.

Today I am reduced to family style 4 door sedandom.
I am contemplating a Beck 550 Spyder for a retirement present to myself.

Wow...I'm bookmarking that Beck...interesting.

Last relatively hot car I had was an Alpha Milano Verde I bought for my ex in 88.

Unequivocal POS....worst car I've ever owned and I've owned old MGs, old Saabs, and now have a Land Rover..lol

Pretty snappy though thru the gears and handled decent for a sedan but was built by drunks I suppose....think turbo Lada..lol

Now, like you...I'm all SUV basically with 2 in car seats and 4 more of us to tote.

If I had the bucks...I'd still go for a 911 style Porsche again....I don't even know the new models really other than what I see on the road.

A few months ago, I had an SUV ...very odd looking.....blow past me off the line at a light...I managed to see Cayenne on the back and looked it up on the net....a Porsche SUV....beam me up Scotty..lol!

Funny didn't Lambo make an articulating 4 wheeler back in the 80s?

Remember those 6 wheel French exotics...can't recall the name?

When I was a Road and Track lad in the late 60s and early 70s...the hot car was the Lotus Europa Special....her pan gs were about .780 or so and that was tops then...lol...I bet Honda Accords do that now.
