I can't keep one car for a long time lol.
I want another car one that is fun and sporty, most likely manual and probably not fwd. Maintenance can't be rediculous and it has to be fairly reliable (aka no 335i)
What is good in the 20-30k-ish price range? So far I'm thinking G37 Sport coupe. I like my dairly driver but my issue with having to have something sporty tells me I should look into other cars as well.
Any suggestions (real suggestions not CSi "get an 09 M3!") I want a reasonably priced car and would even consider getting from the states but I don't want to do the footwork.
I'm fighting myself on the idea as keeping my current car is the smart move but I'm still looking into it.
*Clarification - this would be instead of my SUV not in addition.

A car with 4 seats and a trunk is decent enough utility for me 99% of the time. My mom works for Ford so remember I can get ahold of pretty much any truck/suv if I really need one for something. Also my gf drives a van (haha)
I won't do a 2 seater in a non toy car again - it was fine in the past but annoying when you want to drive with a group and have to tell people you can only take 1.

Primary car - not an additional car. New mustang is an option but it's over the budget so I would buy at the end of 2011 and I would still need a 2nd car.

Dude, quit fighting it, get an '08 M3 coupe or sedan, all the utility you need, the panty dropping ability, and you won't get bored with the performance any time soon.
In lieu of that, get a 2011 Mustang (I know, you've been there done that), but with the hookup from Ford, you can't go wrong on the price. You will be required to grow a mullet and wear a wife beater, but you can use that opportunity to show off your pecs /nohomo

335, isn't the v4 fuel pump pretty much a straight up fix? Research it and drive with spares in the trunk, DUH.
G37 is nice, not my style though.

Haha dude that goes against everything (the M3 - over budget, higher maintenance costs) I'm not too concerned about panty dropping ability I just like my cars for me. I usually never mentioned what I drove when people asked me when I had my "fun cars". I usually just said "A Nissan, A Ford, A Honda"

I think they are on revision 5 now. There is more problems beyond the fuel pump too (injectors being one of them)

a second car at 20-30k? ballin much??!?!?!!?! fawk g37 would be nice for sure...but honestly if you are keeping the truck id look into something even more sporty. s2k,miata...lotus elise  things like that. i know you had an s2k and wont want a miata but id honestly get something more sporty than youd want in a daily...because you already have a daily. an older porsche? or if you would ditch the truck altogether... why not a new stang gt?
I'm with stupid on this one

'08 Accord coupe with a V6 and 6 speed manual?
They're pretty nice cars.
I do like the new accord coupes in black. Don't know how fun they are. I'm sure they are reliable though.

Jeff, have you considered this? http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=424637
I think that will be the replacement for the M3 for me.

I'm scared of rwd. It makes the car spin all crazy-like and sometimes smoke comes from the rear of the wheels.
Really though it's a typo - fwd sucks. I would rather not have it.

I know you've said you thought they were slow, but you can buy a brand new turbo Genesis for under 30k. Bolt-ons and a reflash and they are plenty quick. Handle great, well equipped and so far mine as been bullet proof. Hyundai is still offering great rebates so you could probably even get into a base V6 in your budget. Sure it's not as ballin as a 3 series or G37 but it's still a great car for the money.

LOL @ the title....I am sure EVERYONE who frequents this forum knew exactly what this thread is going to be about. (Either wheels or vehicle anyway)
C6 or M3 is the only way to go as you've already had an Mustang, 350Z, S2000 among other sweet rides.
