what would be ur second car.

I love my civic and i don't plan on selling or trading for a long time.
As soon as my Insurance goes down a bit I'm planning to purchase another car, I'm thinking about the Acura TL line as a second car or I'll stick with a next gen Honda. I'm curious to know what would be you guys 2nd choice and input.

Ps. I'm pretty sure some of u guys already got second cars, and i'll like to know what they are also and why? Thanks.

If I were to buy a second car, it would be something ridiculous and impractical. A Nissan 350Z, like mentioned above, would be a good choice.

Why get another FWD economy car (regardless of how nice it is) if that's basically what you have for a DD?

Basically, my second car would have to be 2 seats, RWD, and stupidly fast.

As of right now, my second car is a 1995 Ford Contour(pretty much just drive it when the roads get bad) but my sister is borrowing it right now because her truck broke down.


If it could be anything, I'd say an Ariel Atom.

Hondas are smart cars to have. They're reliable and cheap and practical. If you buy a 2nd car that IS a Honda but ISN'T an S2000, you're a goofball.

(Now, no offense to families that have two Hondas... I'm talking one daily driver and one weekend car.)

hmmmm...damn good point. and i understand ur point about families with 2 hondas. I was thinking interms of having a something in terms of an Acura TL being that it's made by honda (correct me if i'm wrong) and I honestly think the TL kicks a lot of *** in it's class. I'd rather buy a nex gen TL over a next gen Maxima or 7 series anyday. Now don't get too hasty about the 7 series. just my preference.

some people are just too proud...... I'd get the M3 for weekend cruising and have it on the side for being the car enthusiast I am..... I've grown past the racing scene..... just a car fanatic now.... just want to make my ride look the way I want it and keep it nice and clean......

I'd get another talon, only a 1995+ this time around and build and run it strictly as a race car (1/4 mile).

Or another 240sx build that for auto-x.
