Can't think of much I'd want under $15K.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

My five:
1) my current vette
2) Dodge Ram 2500 megacab 4x4
3) 996 TT (used ~30K) Street terror
4) BMW 135i (best BMW made in the last 19 years)
5) Chevy Nova II for popping wheelies
You can get a 996TT in the $30k range? Mmmm.

Now take that Sean.

You notice there are NO GM vehicles except the Vette.

I think it should be our top "ten" not "five".

Alright... the 15k is gunna kill my list as well because my top 5 would pretty much all be collectors items that sell for more than 15 but aren't necessarily worth more than 15 (i.e. 93 cobra, 66 mustang fastback and alike). SO, as for my reasonable list... (in no particular order)

88-93 Mustang 5.0 5 speed. Good all-around build (road-racing or drags) and capable DD...


Brand Spankin' New (whatever year that may be) GSX-R 1000. What else are gixxers for - just plain fun, cruising, drags, kneedragging etc...


1995-2003 BMW 540i - grocery/family mobile. depending on the year this would end up right around that 15k mark but since I wouldn't be able to get a V10 M5 I would settle for this


1996 Ford Bronco - lift, flares, tires, bumpers - decent all around off-road build... good for the mountains or the desert. Mild crawling or (mild) pre-running...


and, finally....



An early 70's Triumph, customized cafe racer... maybe this is just a phase I'm in right now, but I reallly want to build a cafe racer. I'd really like a vintage ducati but that would be much harder to come by - I'd even settle for a honda cb750 if i had to...



OK - that took a bit more thought that I would have guessed... but there it is... my current "reasonably-minded-wish-list"

You should talke to, uh, CafeRacer. He lives up in La Canada and rides Angeles Crest all the time on his Thruxton.

As for me, I really dig the new Nicky Hayden themed Ducati 848. Wonder how much that is?

And because of some substantial connections, the temptation to buy a new R1 is pretty intense sometimes. But I have discipline.

That Nicky Hayden 848 is pretty badass... but it's only an 848... despite the lack of an extravagant paint job I would much prefer the 1198S which I think is going for just under 20 now... The 848's start at 13,900 so I imagine the Nicky Hayden is about 15-16 ish... AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep up that discipline of not buying an R1... Guys who ride R1's are like guys who drive EVO's and WRX's as (if I remember right) BRUTAL pointed out the other day... They think they are the fastest thing under the sun when, in fact, they are definitely not...


If you're looking at Liter bikes stick to Honda or Suzuki. Even Kawasaki over Yamaha for that matter...

I don't know man, the new R1 is pretty wicked. You could say the same thing about guys in Corvettes . . .

I love my Bandit, which is dirt cheap to own, almost free, and is really more than enough bike for me. It's just I got to ride a 08 Gixxer once, and that kind of stability is addicting. The Bandit is a hoot, but like my old Vette is not exactly cutting edge handling technology.

This is almost more than I can possibly resist, even though I can't stand GM.

C6Z for under $40k!!!

I've got to be missing something. . .
