Acura NSX |
The first year of production was 1991, and throughout it's 16-year production run, it remained mostly unchanged with the exception of a few minor headlamp updates and a few more horsepower. That's how well the Acura division of Honda made this hand-built beauty modeled after the Stealth Bomber. The "new NSX" is set to debut in the next two years, and probably under another name. It's the most awesome car I have ever driven. For the person looking for a real dependable exotic at the right price, (it's a Honda) consider a pre-owned NSX. |

Chevrolet Corvette |
What can you say? The all-American sports car since 1953. I'll never forget my first ride in a 'Vette' as a kid when my cousin Vinnie (nothing to do with the movie) bought a 1962 model. It was the most exhilarating ride I ever had with me NOT at the wheel. The new Corvette came out in 2005, which makes previous years a very good buy right now. |

Volkswagon Beetle |
The car that could be cute and cool at the same time. Plus get great mileage. There wasn't much power when you stepped on the gas, but it sure was a blast to drive. The new Beetle is lots of fun too! Right now it's a very good pre-owned buy. |

Lexus LX-470 |
A little pricey, but on a pre-owned basis, you can drive this almost-perfect SUV at a reasonable price. I've seen some with 200,000 miles and you think you're traveling in a new car. That's how well Lexus builds their vehicles. I highly recommend this vehicle as a pre-owned purchase. Extremely dependable with power, room for seven passengers, and all the options. It also has four-wheel drive. |

Buick-mid 50's through mid 60's |
It was a car that my Dad usually brought home quite a bit from his personal stash of pre-owned cars for sale at his gas station. These cars were built like military tanks. Lots of metal and chrome. My Dad loved 'em! In today's market, a classic like this would cost between $50,000 and $100,000. |

1968 Plymouth Roadrunner |
The "beep-beep" horn was just the cartoon character talkin'. Under the hood, it was a different story. The base 383 cubic inch engine version of the car was very fast because the car was so light. If you happened to choose the 440 cubic inch, not many other cars were going to beat you on the drag strip on a Saturday night. If you went all the way and ordered your Roadrunner with the optional 426 HEMI, you were pretty much untouchable. The car had a sticker price of under $4,000. In today's muscle car market, an original HEMI version in perfect condition can go for the HIGH 6-figures at certain auctions. |

Jaguar XKE |
One of the most beautiful cars ever made. It was fast and furious yet the style of the car was unmatched. It's still gorgeous. Unfortunately, the down side of the Jaguar XKE was it's dependability. It spent more time at the repair shop than in your driveway, and considering it was an expensive car for it's time, a person had to be a Jaguar fanatic to put up with all the problems the car possessed. |

Lexus SC 430 |
Since it's first year, it has been regarded as one of the most innovative and dependable cars ever built. The ride and quality build of Lexus is written all over it in every way. The retractable hardtop is a marvel, and if you want to hear the best factory sound system ever put in ANY automobile, try this one with a speaker at every location of the cabin combined with subwoofer and tweeters. I can't even explain it in just words. A pre-owned SC 430 is a very smart buy. The new body style is due out next year. You could own one that looks like a 2008 model ($75,000) for half the price with a pre-owned SC 430. |

Ferrari 360 Modena |
A slice of automotive heaven. If you can afford one, you probably make in a week what I make in a year. If you want one, I will certainly find the color you desire and deliver it personally to your door with a case of Dom Perignon. |

1960 Dodge |
I guess you're wondering how we went from a Ferrari to THIS?!! Well, simply for nostalgic reasons. It was my first car that my Dad gave me when I got my license. (after this one he made me pay like everyone else)! It was a black 4-door with a six-cylinder engine and a manual shift on the column. Man, was it ugly! BUT...it was MINE, and I was very thankful and proud to have it. The only drawback was that all my buddies wanted a ride home from school every day! I never imagined that 16 guys could fit in a 1960 Dodge. |
