    The GRM Mazdaspeed 3. I want one used, I know the upgrades, and they always need to sell them off eventually. Now if Tim will just hold the note and accept my $50 monthly payments at 1% interest...

    Ten cars? Man. Here it goes.

    1. More Miatae. Because, well, why the berkeley not?

    2. BMW M Roadster (2001 or 2002). Estoril Blue with blue and black interior. Black top. Extended leather package. This baby would be stock forever.

    3. 1992 or 1993 Mustang GT Fastback (the last two years of the Fox had a few improvements I think over previous years). Full cage, full race gear, and some big fat sticky tires.

    4. Sure. Let's throw the Ariel Atom in there. I think that might become affordable for me one day--they're not much more than a Lotus right? Or a BMW Z4?

    5. 2001 M5 (or whatever the last couple of years were for the last body of the M5). I'll take mine in blue, please. Again, with blue and black interior. How about the one that parks on my block every day? I'll take that one. Gotta beef up the exhaust--those things sound WONDERFUL!

    6. New Mustang in GT trim or higher. I loves me some ponies!

    7. You'll hate me. Challenger SRT-8. She's a porker, but fat girls need lovin' too.

    8. 1994 Dodge Viper RT-10. I don't care if it makes me look like a douche nozzle. I want one. In red. I will own one within five years.

    9. M-m-m-m-m! Gotta love the Corvette. C4 or higher. I'd love a Grand Sport. She'd see track duty from time to time.

    10. Diesel E350 for towing / hauling / sleeping at the track. Let's throw in a nice, enclosed trailer. Wait, does this even exist?
