Not sure how I missed you posting this picture. I am pretty impressed with that interior, a lot nicer/sportier looking that I imagined.

 

That's what I thought too after I looked at some pictures of them

 

I say get an fbody. They are fun and cheap to fix.

 

Only thing I would have issues with is going from a full size truck to a car. I would be paranoid and scared with everyone looking down at my vehicle.

I like the feeling I get at a stop light and I can see through a cars sunroof LOL

 

The brand new Miatas are damn nice!! But they're not cheap. You already have a gf so no worries about the lady dept. lol Its 10x better than driving a freaking meemaw accord! lol
Go for it man

 

I vote Nissan 350z. i had one for about 2 years and loved it. 300 horse v6 6speed. fast car right out of the box

- it was a 2005 with 26k miles sold it for $13K last october one with a few more miles should be in your 10k budget

20mpg in the city about 27 on the hwy. it is only a 2 seater so thats really the only problem with them

 

We have one local with a 408 in it

 

350z would be friggen sweet

 

i have a feeling that if u get a v8, it will get modded. i say stick with something that will knock down good gas mileage but still quick. something like a 350z.

 

I'm seriously looking at the 350z now. Some of them are slightly above my budget, but it's a very nice car that I could keep around for a while.
