(2) Must have less than 50K miles on it
(3) Must be less than $20K
- Big plus - eye catching!
- Another big plus - under 180" in length to fit easier behind the Alfa.

Everything I look at that gets my interest is too much money. Love the new Supra, love the Jag F-Type, love the older BMW Z4 Coupes, love 987 Caymans - but all over budget. Would probably do a 987 Boxster, but has to be 2009 or newer on those to avoid IMS stress and that is too much $$$ as well.

Not opposed to an older, low mileage fun car either, but can't find anything reliable in my price point. Thought about a last gen Toyota MR2 Turbo, but those things have really climbed in price. A good one is nearing $30K now, and this thing will get about 18K miles a year put on it, so don't want to pay a premium for a creampuff and then decimate the value.
Remember the end of Poltergeist? I got a '77 Beetle that just doesn't seem to want to live with us any more. Moon roof.
