Too bad every single Chevy Vega ever built has disintegrated and fallen apart! I'd opt for the Vega over a minivan

Had I thought of the Vega, I would have X'd the minivan.

Does anyone remember when people used to put the "CAUTION FLAMMABLE" bumper stickers on Pintos?

LOL. The sad thing is that we're such a litigious society it wouldn't surprise me.

If you haven't already, you may want to look at the "most viewed cars" or "most researched cars" or other such rankings in the luxury section of auto web sites such as MSN auto, edmunds, cars.com, etc. Good luck.

I suggest the 997 Turbo has the speed to really impress and the robustness to stand this business
The F430 would be bound to generate extra interest

good point, especially if you've got manual tranny cars because a lot of noobs will shred clutches.

TH- great avatar btw! if she's yours, good work.

my take:
1.Aston Vantage V8 convertible with auto trans (they depreciate, so you're looking at a 2 year old one in 2009 for under 100k easily.)
2.F360 paddles (once the 460 comes out, this isn't too much of a stretch at 95-100k)
3.R8 r-tronic (might have to wait a while for premiums to drop)
4.GT-R- playstation tranny (cheapest)
5. 997 Turbo tip...eventually will be down into the 95-100k range
