Default Sold RS, now what?

I got what I was looking for on the RS, so now what? After having such a great car, what do I buy next? I want to stay from 40k to 65k in price and I'm looking for something that won't depreciate much over the next year or two...something that's already taken the big hit. My business is improving every day, so I'm looking forward to putting a deposit down on the new RS when available. But, I need to fill the void between now and then. Any ideas??

Happy for you that you sold the RS, but I'm honestly sad to see it go. I've been secretly watching it for a while. My boys love riding in the back seats of my C2S and if it wasn't for them, I would have been all over your RS. I could have even picked it up myself and brought it home in a day - I'm in Marietta.

I'm sad to see it go...believe me. I had already set up the guy to reinstall the 3m film so I could pick it up since my biz is improving. But, I guess it was mean't to be.

Yes, keeping the race car. Good point. I'm really looking for a weekender street ride.

I think Rog would like to get something for the whole family so Boxster and RSA are out of the way. I would go for turbo cab or something similar.
