I don't think those are under his price ceiling. Not yet anyways.

The SS does give a (fleeting) last chance to make up for not buying a G8.

Yes. I have discussed that with someone recently.

Today I started thinking that I might want to buy the next car as a third (er, fifth, maybe) car and keep the FoST. Four doors, reasonable back seat space and cargo area in what will be a 5 year old, probably 70k mile $12k trade in seems like something worth considering...especially if I gravitate to one of the two sweaters.

I am now aiming for doing something between mid-September and end of the year.

Three cars on my mind:

2003/04 Z06
Mustang 5.0
Camaro SS

Autocross competitiveness has become a major driver again.

Not sure what the right year/pacakge for the Mustang and Camaro.

The C5 Z06 is only on the list because of cost, but doing so would mean keeping the FoST which means adding a third car to the driveway which would not be a good thing for domestic tranquility.

Yeah, sure. It looks great. Tell you what...you buy it, I'll drive it, cuz that's the only way it's going to happen.

I should have bought your Z06. Have I told you that enough times yet?
