Thoughts on a new DD
« on: April 19 2011, 10:49:12 PM »
So i sold my 2000 Ranger and threw the 87 GN back together and have been using it as a DD for the past few months. I want to park the GN and give it the attention it deserves like new quarters, etc...

I thought I had my new DD picked out but in the past few days I have now brought another choice in the mix. Which do you guys think I should use?

The Lotus Elise or the Aston Martin DB7?





Any thoughts are appreciated.

How about a tornado shelter? I like both, but driving a Aston Martin DB7 would be fun to drive.   :rofl;

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

I leaning towards the Lotus, it gets 30 MPG. The Aston Martin gets no better mileage than the GN. I am hoping to make a purchase by July.

Right now my commute is about 70 miles. If I can get my house sold that will shrink up to somewhere between 15-35 miles depending on what neighborhood I want to live in.
