Well. . .I had a budget of $30K (there goes the Porsche).
I wanted the sportiest car I could afford (there went the RSX).
I wanted a CHANCE that the car would get me to work in the snow (there went the RX8).
Quiet except for the feeling of being on the road (no convertible, out goes the Z)

Left with the Eclipse (no safety features) and the Crossfire. Guess which one looks, drives and simply FEELS the best!!!
