Question Can't have an Exotic Car ?

Exotic Cars and Their Everyday Equivalents

<CITE sizcache="48" sizset="327">By James Tate of MSN Autos</CITE>


It goes without saying that most people wouldn't mind parking a six-figure exotic sports car in their garage. But it also goes without saying that most people don't have a checkbook capable of making that happen. With the average supercar able to crack a quarter of a million dollars with ease, not having one parked in your driveway is nothing to be ashamed of. So instead of simply fawning over these often-unobtainable beauties, we decided to mix it up: We've picked five modern-day exotics and matched them up with something that offers a similar experience for a fraction of the price. Sure, there's no replacement for the real deal, and a lot of subjectivity is involved, but we've tried to match the spirit of the cars as closely as possible.

Geez... The GT-R as a stand in for the Bugatti? I would rather have the GT-R. What is a cheap stand in for that?

There are only two cars that come to mind that would even make me think about spending six figures on. The first one would be a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona and the second would be a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird. Both of these cars probably don't handle that great but they are in your face cool with their pointy noses and huge wings on the back.

LoL `Lou,
Yes, I believe that you can have anything your really, really want , if you really, really want it ~>

My grandfather told me that having a exotic dancer can end `up costing you more then the exotic car that you dream about..... WoW

___________________________________________________


If I had 2 choose between the two , I'd take the one with the key , yes.....you can turn it on when you want to & drive it anywhere you want to + the sounds are always `sweet ~> Bonus, it also can be shut `off with the key when you don't want to go 4 a ride....My grandfather is a wise man 2 me ~> 4-Very-Sure ~>

He also stated that `if you have a exotic car, that exotic dancers are attracted to exotic car owners the best of both worlds

I don't know about you guys, but IMHO I'm contempt with my Monte. As much as I'd love to drive a Mercedes SLR 722 or a BMW M6, I wouldnt have it any other way. I learned so much about my car and I've owned it for only 2 years and everyday I get in it and start it up there is a sense of excitement. If I were to own an exotic car it would probably be a 1969-1972 Oldsmobile 4-4-2: God knows how much I love these rare collectibles.
