If you want an 'open moving living room' try 1961 to 1967 Continental convertible. The T-Birds are nice, too. I had a 1965 and boy do I regret selling that car.

No! don't go to all that trouble. Tell me where the car is located, and I will handle all that boring leg work.

Are you kidding me? Nissan 350Z convertible, if you're willing to stretch that 20k a bit. Just eat out less.

Do you want a 2 seater sports car or a cruiser? If you want something in the 2500 lb range go for a Miata or an MR2. More fun to drive than any of the cars I've seen listed so far but you pay for it in practicality.

Is that a Caterham? I thought they were a lot more than that - is it body without engine?

A four-seater would be nice - I have two little boys. I'm getting down to 330ci or 320/430CLK cabrio.

I can't think of a better home for it. Knowing you, it will be well-cared for, if you can pull that off! You'd better buy a place with a warehouse behind it, though. At the rate you're going you're going to need it. We'll have to start calling you "Jay Leno."

Mid to late 90's SL600, with some super sexy AMG 18in wheels.

Or if you can fit into one a Honda S2000.

Or a Lotus/Caterham super seven.

hahaha. You got the right ideas. The latest top gear poll still says that the S2000 is the most satisfying car to own.

Sorry man but I find the S2000 and the Miata to be the most unmanly cars to own or drive. Those and the Lexus RX330 SUV.
