Keep your eyes on the AMG station wagon - it's family friendly.

And you'll never have to explain getting smoked by an Elantra to your kids.

If you want a proper modern sports car on the cheap (ish), you can't beat the BRZ/FR-S/86. I bought a BRZ as my winter car, it's stupidly fun, easy to get sideways at pretty much any speed you'd like, but not in a scary code-brown way. Clutch is short and light, shifter is almost Honda-like, steering is surprisingly good for an electric rack. Driving position is PERFECT. Only problem for old boys is the car is almost stupidly low even stock, and getting in/out as a 40-something is not that fun often.

Those cars do nothing for me. Plus not available in a convertible like the wife wants. I think I dislike them because 1. they're rather underpowered and 2. the typical 20-something's that drive them (I'm old).

Selling a kid for a sports car sounds like... Child Trafficking...

That's the door over there, right...?

Nah that's just Child's Play.

I spent 2hrs reading up on the pros/cons of the Dodge Vipers. Intriguing vehicle.

About the Vipers do you have large feet?

Can't tell if you're serious or it's sarcasm. I can't picture the supercharged 6.2L (650HP) to feel lethargic even just lumping around. Been going down the Corvette wormhole recently and like much about the C7 Z06. I've watched enough Youtube vids that I'm surprised my wife hasn't asked if I'm bringing one home.

I'd always wanted one.
It can lump around no problem......but the entertainment gets better as the rpm's increase.
Get the Z07 package, if you can.

This was day 2 of ownership......(the white one)

Used C7 Z06’s for sale are all silly priced right now. Near the $100k mark is just too much for an 8yr old Vette.
 
Downtown Kingston today. Turbos loving 13C air. Hope everyone got out either in their sporty car or on their bike. I spotted a couple of friends today on their ADV bikes, South Frontenac Cruisers having their BBQ just a few houses down from me tomorrow.

While not nearly as fun as your car, damp roads and cool temps made four wheel power slides possible for me today. Fun run out to creemore.
