Hey guys, I've been busy so I haven't been able to get back to you.

It seems like the consensus is that C5's are pretty reliable. I am looking at C5 Z06's around the state for 25k ish. Seems fair to say they will drop a bit by the time I am gonna sell my Boxster (maybe a good 2 years).

I love my Boxster, but I feel like instead of buying another agile handler, I should try something completely different. I feel like the Corvette is the answer to that, extremely powerful and much simpler (a simple V8 in the front, no mid-engined stuff to worry about).

I suppose I will have to drive one myself and see how it is, but I'm thinking about ride quality (I hear its appalling), MPG, and cheapness as well. I have driven some more recent Chevy's (Cobalt, Malibu, HHR's) from rental agencies and have found it cheap, but not unbearable.
