My Ride: 2009 DINAN 135 convertible
What do you guys think? I really like how the Z4M coupe looks, and the prices have fallen through the basement, but then I just found several Lotus Elises (2005) for low $30s, and it would always be great to have a 911. What say you?

I'm admitedly biased, but take a look at the 911. That said, any of the three cars that you're looking at will make you very happy. Let us know what you think after you take a test drive.

I like where your head's at, my brother.
Other sporty, weekend-type models to consider (from 2003-2004) in the $30-$40k range:
BMW M3
BMW 645i
Corvette Z06
Jaguar XKR
Porsche Cayman S
MB SL 500
Me? I'd get a Porsche 911.

I am very biased as a 911 owner, but this is exactly what I would get. A 911. Iconic, fun, and easy to maintain(relatively speaking for a quasi super car).

That's an easy one...buy as late model 993 (94-98 911) as you can get for your money. You won't regret it!
