<$30k fun car

[MrH]

Upwards of $30k to spend on a fun car.  Second vehicle, no need for practicality.

What do you get and why?  GO!

[Raza]

Does it have to be new or can it be used?

[NomisR]

You can get 2005 Elises for under $30k.  So there...

Either!

You can get 2005 Elises for under $30k.  So there...

Even a few 2006's in that range...

Guess I must not be feeling very creative today...

[Lebowski]

Um, 2006 Corvette coupe.

[Raza]

Either!

2005+ S2000.   

I've had a Boxster, I have a Z4 now, I'd really like to hit the trifecta.

Mini Cooper S

C5 Z06

[J86]

Something old with no roof.  60s-70s Alfa or the ilk.

[MX793]

If it's truly no consideration other than purchase price (reliability, maintenance costs, etc are not a concern), probably an Elise or Boxster.  If I have to cover upkeep, I'm thinking C6 Corvette, maybe an S2000.

[Onslaught]

Mint 1993-95 RX-7 FD.

New, probably a BR-Z.

2006 Porsche Cayman S
Z4M Coupe

One of these will be my next car. Unless kids get in the way. Then I don't know. Maybe a 335i sedan.

I was going to put cayman on my list but I don't think you can get an S for under 30K.

Yeah, I don't think I'd run over kids in those two either. You need something with metal bumpers and more ground clearance.
