Have you considered the E30 M3?

It is a good compromise in your situation. It has the tossability of the Vespa coupled with the rarity of the GTR. It also shares BMW DNA in respect to the MF1's engine.

You like that, eh? I have a secret recipe for bishon (or any small dog); one day, I will sell it to some Chinese restaurant and get tons of money from it. Without revealing the specifics, I'd usually marinate the meat overnight to let the spices soak in. When all is done, the meat is so tender and succulent that one cannot help but suck on the mouth-watering bone marrow after all the meat has been consumed.

Get the GT-R. Paint it white (target has a sale on Krylon) to match your dog. Then lift it so you can take it offroading, and you have the best of all worlds.

Vespa w/ a GSXR 1000 engine swap. It's the only one of your choices that could do a wheelie, and that'll impress the chicks more than any sports car or jeep.

Dont get the McLaren, my best freinds sisters psychologist had like 3 and they all broke down.
Also, dont do anything until you can pay it in cash, i cant believe you would think about financing a depreciating asset.

Anyway,
Youre only clear option at this point would be to buy a DeLorean and go back in time to a galaxy far far away and purchase a Mellenium Falcon.

You can put 17x10's on it with -15 offset without any fender mods and it can make the kessel run in less than twelve parsecs, which is much faster than cars mentioned. Also, i know a dude in Florida who can put a 2jZ in there for you. Legit.




win.

Oh man, this thread delivers.

Why the hell hasn't there been more emphasis on spoilers and racing stripes? The performance gains are huge, especially on the McLaren. A lot of people report issues parallel parking without the extra downforce of a double decker spoiler on the car. Especially when you're parallel parking flat out. Because that's how that car must be driven: flat out.
