Forget the Volt. For the same price, I can get a fully loaded 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. Woohoo.

<--- Do you like the new me?

That depends. Has more than your avatar changed?

Yeah, but it's going "the other" direction.

So, if you was to buy any car you wanted for up to $50 grand USD (Top Limit), what would you buy?

It would have to be your Primary mode of transportation.

Mazda Miata MX-5.

For my present situation, I would be looking at a new truck, quad cab, short box, tow package etc. or a BMW X5 for my wife.

Just received shipment of a Pioneer SC-67 receiver. Going to set it up tonight.

I often think about the same kind of truck that you have in mind as a possibility, only without the tow package. It has to be able to fit into a garage that's 226 inches long. That limit's me to just a few of them.

Personally, I don't want a small 2 seater car. Been there, done that.

Ahhh. A thing of beauty...
