    what a useless question..

    What are your criteria for the 2nd car?

    Without out more details, might as well ask us what color of car should you get.

    Owned an lt1 trans am before, fun but want something different.

    Going down to Atlanta for le mans race this weekend. Going to test drive some older BMW 540's, c5 vette ( their getting cheap!) and wrx if can find one.

    I had a 96 4x4 Tacoma that I never should sold. See it still around town and am waiting for the kid to sell it back to me. If he would I would snatch it up and turn into a beast trail truck.


    Thanks for input everyone.

    The only new Camaro that matters is an SS so $30k would not be enough but you would be close.

    The OP put a price of $20k so he couldn't get a V6 Camaro for that price.

    Curious as to why that is "the worst suggestion ever"? They are a great little car, drives just like a sports car IMO.
    X2, good picks.

    a friend of mine had a s2000 till it got stolen, and now owns an sti. i never got to drive his s2k, but i LOVE his sti. especially considering that in NW, if it's not summer, there's a 75% chance that the roads are wet at any given time.

    he says though that he thought the s2000 handled a lot better and was a lot more fun to drive. i'd say for an only car/DD sti for sure, but if it's a 2nd car, a s2k might be more rewarding.

    For $20k or less, you should get a Subaru WRX and a Mustang GT. I did (both 2005 model years). Of course, it helped that the WRX is supposedly my wife's grocery getter.
