The itch for a car never really went away, but my financial state never allowed me to scratch it. With my new position at work, i will be making a few extra bucks, and that, hopefully, is going to allow me to scratch that itch. :bertstare:

Ive been tossing back and forth the ideas of going with something new, 5th gen or 6th gen, maybe even one of them fancy scat pack dodges. But i really dont like the idea of a payment for that long, and i dont want to worry about warranty.

sooooooo that leads me to here.

If im going to pick up a toy, i want to get what i want. So other than search criteria on Autotrader and what not, is there really any way to track down a car going off color/driveline/package/ect ? or so i just need to stay persistent with checking craigslist and forums ?

carfax also lists cars, I looked up a fe won there.

I'm in the same boat come february. I want to find a specific car and so far i got ebay, craigslist, autotrader, carfax, and dealer web searches, and then just going into a dealer and asking them to find me a certain car.

There are plenty of GTS vipers out there. Don't be picky.

Well i work for a dealer, so i can have them check the auctions and stuff for me. I wasnt aware that worked for older cars as well.

No more never ending projects ! i need to buy something ready to rock, or that requires little work. Only thing id really consider thats a lot of work would be buying a roller T/a or Camaro and having to add my own drivetrain. I dont want to deal with wiring and what not.

...like a notchback 5.0? or like a V8 Miata

More so like a V8 miata. Simple, easy to make quick, handles well, etc etc. Just a fun car to jump in and drive but simple enough that you won't have to always wrench on it.

I'm guilty of wanting a V8 Miata or RX7 LS-swap.

Or sweeten the deal and pay the guy who owns the trailer said baron is sitting on. I'm pretty sure that last sentence is grammatically perfect.... :facepalm:

I know a place where we can get a sweet truck & do a demo-derby. Airbags are already removed and everything!

So make me an offer on mine. For the right $$ I'll throw in *everything* I have for it, heads, cam, injectors, rockers, stock wheels w/ antique drag radials, etc.
