With who are you driving next year?
IMO... I would scratch the C6 off the list. Something tells me you would use the car more often if it had the option of putting people in the back. But you'll probably tell me I'm wrong. Also the C6 interior really feels pretty old these days. The C7 is truly a great car, but it's a lot of money and I expect them to depreciate hard as the C8s start to appear on the used market. Also, two doors / two seats. You do know Adam George is looking to offload his ZL1, right? I never really thought much of the M2, especially since BMW seemed incapable of making reliable turbo engines. But then I heard one down in Virginia Beach with what sounded like a mild aftermarket exhaust, and I was a bit smitten. Still, does a turbo I6 scratch your V8 itch? Knowing you, I feel like the right answer might be the Mustang or the Camaro. I might lean more towards the Mustang if you're confident it'll never need to be a tool for competition. I'd lean towards the Camaro if you think there's a chance you might want to autocross it. The Supra is ugly and automatic-only. Delete. |

Texted...as you know.

I don't really want a ZL1 1LE (which is what I think Adam has?). Just, too much. I think I'd enjoy an M2/M2C, but I don't think I'd be happy enough with it for very long. I'll probably wind up with a Camaro...I'm just too far into my own head now and have been too stuck at the same step for too long.

Edit: If you were channeling your inner JST, you’d have to get Mustang out of your system. If you were mixing JST, you, and me, you’d have to get a Mustang convertible or a Corvette Stingray convertible. Edit Again: Whatever you get needs to be cool, fun, and powerful. I think this is why I keep perseverating on the practical car. Just can’t get excited enough about it to spend all that money to purchase and insure. May just wait for the next M3 sedan and slap a roof rack on it. Or say, F everything and just buy the M4 convertible with the soft top when it comes out. |

Does the 2 series have a more usable back seat than the 1 series? Because the back seat in the 1 series was very close to the functionality of the 993 back seat. Technically usable, but not voluntarily.

Yes. It's better. It doesn't curve in as much at the outboard sides as the 1 did.

Couple that with the small windows, and being back there was not really all that much fun for my kids - who were starting to outgrow them, but could have still fit there for a few more years. By the time you can see out the side windows your legs don't really fit. |
