Re: Nissan Z car driver.
Since getting back from the Cleveland Auto show a few hours ago, I've been thinking about all the really nice cars there are to choose from. And I can honestly say I don't know what I would choose if I had to pick something else to replace my Crossfire.
I liked the Challenger, but the new Camaro is truly stunning. I'm by no means a Ford Guy, but the new Shelby GT500 Mustang sure looked great, as did the Ford GT. They had a Solstice Mallett (starting at just under 20K + the price of the car) and the Porsche Cayman makes me think "Juddz" may be right when he says, " the extra cost of owning a Porsche just might be worth it."
I don't know if it's just been around long enough to finally start to grow on me or what, but even the 350 Z is starting to look better to me. (sorry Firebase) and the Saturn Sky is still very high on my list.
The Cleveland Auto show also puts on a classic car show in the basement. There are some really beautiful cars, and some that have no reason what so ever to be there, but for the most part, it's pretty interesting to see. There I found a beautiful blue 1968 390 AMX that's currently on ebay at over 17k with the reserve met. (goes off in 3 or 4 days) if anybody wants to check it out. Sure wish I had an extra 20k tucked away somewhere.
All in all, even with the cars I mentioned, and maybe 1/2 dozen more that I didn't, being very desirable to me. I'd have say the Crossfire still looks pretty good, and I'm glad I got one tucked away in my garage waiting for spring.
