I think he said keep it under $18K and it had to be a manual.

GTO or Mazdaspeed6 would be on my list for that.

GTI/GLI/R32
Terminator lulz
WRX/STI
EVO
Speed3
S2K
4.6 Rustang maybe

Solid list. If I'm looking at a 4.6 Mustang, it would have to be the Mach 1 with the 32 valve heads.

It was probably cornering at 13 mph and those baldass 10 speed tires couldn't handle the g's so they gave way at which point physics and gravity took over and the rest was as they say history.

I would stay away from the S4 (i used to have an 04) due to repair costs out of warranty. Also i would skip the C4 too being a younger guy with it as your sole means of transport. Ask Joe B how its working out for him..

Other than that, solid list. I actually have had a thing for the Mini S's ever since i saw the Italian Job..

I love the sound of the stock Mustang GT or Cobra. I know, a lot of OEM stuff is garbage but this....this is jusssst right. Iirc, 2003 was the last of the body style and interior before the retro garbage took effect.

Also, I had an '04 350Z I kept until last year. It was a lot of fun. I liked the 6 speed too.

For Monk making a funny.

Were those the ones that had the transmission problems? The engines were smoking the transmissions for a while.
