Ideally i'd like to keep my S2000 (for fun), get a new BMW 5 series (for the commute), and a 98 ITR for a project car. If i needed a truck, my favorite is teh Chevy Avalanche.

My Spa is a keeper, after all, my '90 CRX-Si does not want to sit in the garage alone...

My next vehicle purchase is going to be an '05 Nissan. I'm moving up to 305hp and 379ft-lbs I'm getting a Titan.

As far as a newer sportscar I will think about that after the Titan is paid for and I have gone a few years without monthly payments. I suspect the decision will boil down to what car has a redline higher than 9,000, and I have my fingers crossed it will be Honda.

Well, it will be nearly 5 years of glorious ownership late this year, but my plan is for the C6 convertible.

Not to sound sacreligoius here, but how about a 2001 or 2002 used Corvette ZO6. You have near 360 modena performance, it will only run about 30-35k, the miles will be low, and its even more practical than the S. If you want a sports car to replace the S, i cant see a more clear choice. To makes things even better, i imagine it will holds its value fairly well, seeing as they are "factory performance limited production". Do i sound a little enthusiastic..... i am! If i can make the trade.... i will.

The S is definitely a keeper. Next vehicle will be another truck to replace my beater 4x4 mazda pickup. I am seriously considering one of the new quad cab types offered by Toyota or Nissan.

If in any event I was to replace the S it would be with a 911. Ever since I was a kid I always loved those cars. But first I need to get my dream house.

Interesting question. I am thinking about many things.

1. (most likely) - add an S/C and body kit and a few other finishing mods to my s and keep it and get another vehicle for a daily driver

2. sell the s and get an elise

3. sell the s and get a viper

All are potentials, but I will have to buy a house that will cost twice or more than my current one and another car of some kind for my wife before any of this happens.
