I've been watching other cars out on my travels because we're coming to a point where I need to get a new car. The Nissan I'm driving around in is beat up and tired to say the least. Sure, it's a Nissan and could last us another 60,000 miles, but I don't know that I want to be driving it every day putting those kinds of miles on it.
Unfortunately, I'm not finding very many cars that excite me. I don't mean excite like "I want to put them in my pants" excitement, though that would be cool, but just something that would make me want to drive one. My friends have some great cars, like the new Corolla, the new Element, and so on, and I really do like the Element, but I'd say 96% of the cars I'm looking at are just plain boring.
I keep seeing Mini Coopers, which come closest to being the car I really want to get behind the wheel of.
I guess I should preface all of the above by saying that I have a certain price range, so certain levels of luxury and performance are already out...but even the BMWs and Mercedes are kind of *yawn* pedestrian these days.
Where in the hell are the cool and exciting cars?

blah blah blah
