$25k ceiling... What car would you buy right now..

[...Whitepower...]

Bored.. Have no intentions of getting out of the G8 just figured this might be an interesting thread to see what people come up with, are interested in, or need.. New or used doesn't matter..

Bikes are cool too if thats your thing (just gotta promise not to run your highbeams 24/7):slap:

Whatever you pick has to be able to be driven as is.. None of this "i'll pick this C2 slit window for $25k and fix it up on my own dime" BS..

Lets see what you come up with.. :waiting:

I love mine. So far its tuned and has a Vararam and its ballzy. :yesnod: I plan on doing the suspension once i sell my current project and then get LT's and that will probably be it aside from rims and tires and a little audio upgrade.

I can seriously see myself holding onto this one for a bit. And coming from me thats saying something.. :D

assuming daily driver, i'd go xrunner

my base tacoma extended cab is great for every day driving. it's small enough that it's not like driving a whale, but big enough that you can carry just about anything and everying in it.

Xrunner would just add the HP and fun factor

Think of it this way... Here is $25k... Go buy ANOTHER car. If you don't spend the money in a week you don't get it at all. As a matter of fact the money will go to the person you hate the most.

Had my S4 for a little over two years. Did a couple mods to it. Loved it.. Sold it because in two years i had over $6k in warranty work done and the last time it hit the shop they denied the warranty claim.. It was only $400 but i took it as a sign..

Shit i bought my G8 before i even sold the Audi.. I kinda miss the murdered out kiddie hauler at times though.. The car look bad ass with the stance and black and gray. :afrocool:
