Tried to buy a Deep Impact Blue GT350 last week. Dealer wanted $30,000 over and wouldn't budge. Fucking California. Found several in the midwest for sticker.

Awesome colour choices. Nice looking car.I'm with you. I own a '13, cellphone picture below, and I hate the profile view of the ass end on the '15s/16s. The angle just looks goofy. It's really the only complaint I have about the '13/'14 aesthetics and they just made it worse on the new ones. That said, I'd jump on a GT350 in a heartbeat regardless of how the rear looks.

Thanks, means a lot. I've put a bit of work into it aesthetically. Mechanically the only thing that's been altered is the shifter, replaced it with an MGW.
You've been saying you'd replace the Z for a while now, haha - just pull the trigger and grab a used GTR already.

If you can afford it, do what makes you happy. I spent too many years NOT doing that. Now, I'm divorced at 34, sold my house, have an apartment and only two cars (one DD, one sitting at BBI in Orange County I only drive once every 5-6 weeks) but I'm WAY happier, because I'm doing what I want.
Get yourself a new car if it'll make you smile more.

I'm thinking of dropping the money on a brand new F150 long box crew cab. I like having a truck, and mine is old.

I'm thinking about spray painting my 98 Chevy 1500 to slow its rusting into nothing by a few months.

Might be a little hardcore for me. I don't need a really serious truck, just one with anti-lock breaks and plenty of seating.
I got no rust, man. 1999 Ranger. My kids are getting too big for the stupid back flip seats.
If you are trying to get a few more years out of it, look at rust treatments specifically, not just paint. They claim to chemically react with the iron oxide to slow down bubbling that will eventually come back. I'm sure there are some videos out there, on good prepping methods. Removing panels on a healthy vehicle is not that difficult, but just getting access to prep both sides, when you are looking at rusted fasteners and anchors, may be more trouble than it's worth.
I used something similar, although not as strong/thick, when I had a battery acid spill in my Trans Am. It caused all the paint on the battery tray to vanish, and in its place, a nice coat of rust. Removed the tray, scraped and sanded off all the rust and then used the rust treatment. I didn't notice any rust over the next 2 battery changes (~6 years time).

My lack of a garage has been keeping me from upgrading. I've also been saying I'm going to sell my townhouse for the last two years!
