A politician you will never make. What happened to all those sensitivity classes you were attending. I thought maybe you got got your 1-month sticker.
Good advice for the OP. Buy Backdraft because it's American-made and better crap. |

Way2 fast. I see you're located in Melbourne, Florida. You should take a run over to the reptile roundup car show on Saturday. There will probably be 60 or more cars there. Will certainly be BDR (they are a sponsor) and Superformance, a bunch of Factory Fives, probably some Everett Morrisons, Hurricane, and I believe a couple of ERA's. Check out the Deep South Cobra Club for details. There is a track event tomorrow at Sebring, then a dinner tomorrow night in Lakeland. The car show is Saturday (I am returning to Miami in the am for a football game). I'm in Miami so if you're down this way give a holler.

Drive as many different manufacturers cars as possible within your price range. Be prepared to spend 10-25% more than you planned on.
Get under the cars if possible and look at the overall design. If it looks cheap it probably is…
Look at the safety related items too like seatbelt mounting points/design, rollbar(s), front crumple zones, adjustable pedals, steering wheel projection, etc.
Note the general feel of the car for your size and build. Are you tall or short, thin or heavy-set. Some fit better than others…
Look at fit and finish, and not just on new cars, find a few 3 to 5 year old examples of each manufacturers car that you are considering purchasing…remember, some people take better car of their car than others too.
Inquire about problems incurred with those older cars, are parts available locally,
Consider where you will have it serviced too…Dealer any where close to home?
But once you have one in your garage, stop comparing them and enjoy what you purchased…
There will ALWAYS be someone who’s car is better than yours…sometimes just because it theirs…

I just found out about the car show. I'll be there on Saturday. I wish I could make the pizza party sponsored by BDR at the hotel on Friday night, but I can't get away before Saturday AM. It should be a good experience since I have never even sat in a Cobra. I had been a Vette guy, but I always wanted a Cobra ever since a 289 blew off my friends '64 Stingray like it was standing still...way back in the mid 60's !!
I have an aunt in Miami Springs, but I don't get down that way too often.
