I have 120k to spend on a car - Page 3 - Poker Beats Brags and Variance

QFT.

Aston Martin, period. Granted all the Beamers are nice. But, how many Aston's have you seen vs Beamers on the average? If it's good enough for James Bond, I can dig it.

Or, you could always go old skool and go with a 1965 Ford Mustang GT350 similar to this:

I love the Skylines. I wish I could get one easier here too. Maybe someday I'll go through this hassle of trying to get one. Besides the R34's (like the Nur) I think this is one of my favorites:

it only has the "bra" because they are spy shots, all car companies do this when they are testing a vehicle. To delay other car companies from copying new designs i would presume

I read about this a few months ago in Wired magazine. These things are sicker than sick.

I'd say this is the best choice by a decent margin, and the aston martin and a8 are 2nd/3rd.

edit: my reasoning:

-the ability brag about how rich you are and how nice your car is to girls w/o sounding like a douche because it's a legit interesting topic of conversation
-guy who designed it is one of the top engineers in the world
-sick style sets you apart
-looks like fire

FatalError hit the nail on the head. Going to buy a new car soon (to move up to class C), then the next one I get will be a Maserati for sure.

Because they cost $98k. Generally you don't see too many $100k cars roaming the streets.

R8 is out of your range is your only spending 120k i went to to the dealership just 2 weeks ago and they are on 50k or more mark up. the one at the dealership i saw was 170k. skyline is nice but wont be out for awhile. m6 is a nice car.
