Get a new Porsche Cayman or Boxster (probably more attractive to women than the coupe ), or a used NSX (great reliability with wonderful contemporary lines) and call it a day.

OP, after this thread, start a new one in Ramblings about what kind of girl you should go after with the possessions that you have...just explain your situation there, I'm sure it'll go great.

Thats easy - in the short run, the chick that puts out quickly (almost all of them) - of course safety measures must be taken!

Long run - the woman who makes me feel the most alive even when we're doing nothing.

haha, just giving you a hard time man, looks like you got things straight. I'm hoping I can be in a similar situation as you when I hit 29...minus the dog though.

so which car is it going to be?

Things I need:

1. Something reliable.
2. Somewhat of a chick magnet car.


Any suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks!
Did you ever want to lease a Mercedes Benz SL? The 25,000 miles per year might be a bit much but I'm sure you can do some negotiating and that thing is SURELY a chick magnet.

My friend just purchased a used one 2008 with about 30 or 40K miles on it for around $40K. I figure if you pay 1,500 per month for 3 years its 54,000. Maybe you should look into buying one these bad boys certified pre-owned and put as many miles as you want in it. In the end you can always sell it or trade it for something else.

This car equates to dropped panties

^ - sorry, didn't know that you needed to lease for business expenses. I would definitely get a 2 door coupe for the chicks man. Nothing hotter than two girls sitting in the passenger side in mini skirts after the club (tho I only had a Nissan Z...not a mercedes haha)

The SMG, or w/e its called on the M3 now, maybe DCT. Is an automatic. You can select auto and just drive it like you do with every other car thats an auto. It just has extra options like paddle shifters which let you take control of your gearbox and other things. But I guess you dont need to use those if you dont want.

If not the M3, get a Jag, I forgot which model is the coupe with the V8 supercharged engine. Not exactly sure which model is that. XF?

^XKR is the coupe with the S/C V8.

XF is the mid-sized sedan and the XJ is the full-sized sedan.

If it's all for the head, try this http://www.shoreautolease.com/

Exotics with a few thousand miles you can lease for much less and turn them quick.

M3 is just another 3-series to chicks. Dont bother.

Hells ya, I did that when I had my Z lol. My blonde GF and her Mexican friend on her lap. Traveling nurses FTW!

Now with the 911, I just throw the smaller chick in the sorry excuse for rear seats and call it a night.

Isn't the Carrera a type of 911? There's the Carrera, S, 4S, Targa, Targa 4, Turbo, Cabriolet versions of all those, GT3, GT3 RS, GT2

That's a ****load of 911s.

What YOU need is:

Something really loud and obnoxious
Something relatively rare
Something not a sedan (if it wasn't obvious)

You're looking at NSX, GT-R, how about an Evora? RS5 (when it comes), maybe a V8 Vantage if you're a good haggler. SLs are a dime a dozen. GT500 is just another Mustang to chicks. I don't think reliability's that good on the XK, 6series will be replaced next year.

By the way, some great deals on:

BMW 740
Lexus GS350
MB E Class (I can get you an E63 AMG starting under $1,200/month now)
Infiniti M

To name a few...

No doubt, this is a beast and the interior gets 5 thumbs up. But they still do not know what to do with the front. I saw one for the first time about two days ago and GAWD! that undercarriage cover - it was all my eyes affixed to... like a reverse shield.

We need to talk. E550Coupe, P2 Appearance Package. Obsidian Black, Ash interior (if can do 'designo interior', ash/black interior).

No jokes.

1000/month or less, 0 down, 15k miles/yr.

If it were me, I'd get something along the lines of a ZR1
or the more practical Z06. Then again, they're not practical Lol.

That E63 AMG is pretty nice.
