The M6 is nice, but it just look like another BMW.

audi R8, C6 Z06, or a 300 SRT-8 + GSM supercharger kit (SRT8 is the semi realistic dream car) :)

... and a motorcycle, of course! :D

BMW M6 has also crossed my mind and even though it probably drives a lot better then the mercedes, the merc sure does look a lot better. Any thoughts?

How small is your penis?

We have our winner.

QFT.

Actually 911 careras (turbo or not) are pretty comfortable/luxurious for a sports car, and are silky smooth, and still fast/fun
911 GT2 on the other hand is a semi-race car bred for for racetrack, I wouldn't recommend for normal street driving :)

*my knowledge comes from playing Need for speed: porsche unleashed, one of my fav NFS games, and car magizines/etc :D

I'd drop $15-$20K on a good pickup and then save the rest to pay for Uni/med-school.

None, even if I had the extra money I wouldn't waste it on a car unless it was a sound investment like some classic.

I'd probably buy something in the $18k range and stick the rest into starting a business. New cars depreciate. Old cars are a hassle.

QFT. Although, I'm a bit biased. :)

Find a nice, relatively low mileage 850CSI (twin turbo V12 stock!!!!111) and mod the hell out of it :D

I dont really want an old/classic car because of all the hassle that would be involved in maintaining them. I shouldve also mentioned that i need a car thats also RELIABLE and not too pricey to maintain. The Aston vantage sure does look nice but i bet it would be murder on my parents' wallet when i take it in for repairs (yes, my parents are buying it for me, im only 21 and would go broke if i had to buy it on my current salary haha). We're a little traumatized after all the money we paid maintaining my 2001 S55 AMG (it had a lot of problems in general).

My choice as well. I realize it is about $20K over your price range...but just turn some tricks on the street for a couple of months to make up the difference...well worth it.
