Car to match future's demands...?

The first thing you need to do is figure out what you want this car to do for you!! Do you want to burn rubber, pick up chicks, green up the neighborhood, haul one to 8 people, travel long distances on the freeways or cruse around town and show off your style, maybe you just want to get to work cheaply. What you want it to do will dictate what type of vehicle you need, then cost, then style then factor in the cost to drive what is left on your list. Remember you will not keep it forever.
