I'm a new guy here, and first, I'd like to say that wow, this is a big place. Second, this thread may be in a bad spot, and I may get biased advice, but whatever. I am looking (Probably a few years in advance, to be honest) for a car to have fun in, be able to show off, and kick ass. I don't plan on doing serious street racing, but would like a car that can go FAST. I'm trying to keep the price low, (Lower the better), and it has to look different and awesome. I can't stand how most cars look exactly the same, and therefore need something that's got a somewhat exotic design, like a 1970's Corvette Stingray. I'm also into a lot of European supercars, and currently work in a Motorsports auto shop. I'm not sure what the pricing is for a Stingray, but it hits every other constraint, namely the styling and power. I'm also not really into smaller cars, I'd rather have muscle than zip.

Sorry for the long-ass post, and the obvious rambling. If you guys could give me some ideas for how feasible the Stingray would be, or if you can think of other cars that would fit what I've described, let me know and it'd be greatly appreciated.

If you're under 25 or 30 and single, daily-driver insurance might be your biggest expense. If you have some tickets, keep your daily driver and look into collector car insurance to save up to 90%.

With the current economy, a decent-looking and -running C3 coupe should start around $10,000, more for convertibles and MUCH more for early non-smog, chrome-bumper cars.
