CARS! Lets keep it focused and family friendly please.

I'd get my front bumper fixed (dad backed into it, but you only see the damage if you look for it ... go go scratchx!)

Repaint the car (SOOOOOO many minor imperfections needing a repaint) -- might change it up to black or something. Upgrade to saleen style wheels, get a new hood (hate that fake hood scoop).

Engine swap... etc... it could get expensive but its free here right?

Re: If you had 100k to spend on a car(s)

Well, I'd rather have a house and 2 or 3 car garage, rather than a 100k car that has to sleep outside. So if I suddenly happen on 100k, it'll all go down as down payment to a nice house here in the Bay Area.

....but if I already have a decent home with a garage, I'd love to have a lightweight 20-30k 2-door daily driver, and a 4-door AWD road trip car. I'd probably end up selling my '07 Honda Civic Si Sedan, get a used BMW Z4, and an Audi S4 or BMW 335xi.

100K... get my girlfriend a nice car - say a BMW 335i. She wants a very comfy and quiet (in cabin) car..

1. 75 Chevy Blazer
2. 64 Ford Falcon
3. 09 CTS
4. F 250

That would do it for me.

1. 70 "AAR Cuda" (Original would be nice, but would settle for a clone)

Wow tough question!

I would restore my Squareback and put it on bags
I would get a Porsche 993 Turbo Black on Black with some minor mods.
and lastly I'd get a Mini Cooper S for the wife... she loves those things!

Isn't this a bit of an oxymoron?

How to spot the guy who likes to go around corners quickly:

I found the following while shopping ebay:

a very nice 1988 Lotus Esprit Turbo on ebay for $17,200

a beautiful Chrome Orange Lotus Elise for $33,990

a very clean 1986 Porsche 944 for $18,000

That leaves about $30,800 so I can add on to the garage, pay for track time & tires for the Elise, etc.
