Obviously the Cayman and BMW Ms are great cars but stupid expensive. The Camaro is underrated IMO and even the more base cars with the 6 speed are fun to drive. I have not driven one of the new Musta ... |

I kind of hope the rising tide moves all of the less loved P cars up. I love the old 924 and just bought a 996, Porsche's other bastard water pumper. If these 2 do climb the value ladder it will be ... |
