For that price, it comes down to your own personality and taste.

I'm more of an Aston guy myself. Not too big on the loud-in-your-face obnoxious Italian supercars, but that's just me. (Not that I'd say no to one.)

"$80k, that's a lot of modding money"

I can't be the only one thinking this :badpokerface:

ae101 06-25-2013 10:02 PM

wait do girls have to be in the factor cuz if not caterham is only 29k to 40k, its fun to drive & u can even build it yourself if u like

I loved them until I drove one.

I understand the whole "lightweight" thing, but come on, Lotus. My mom's Civic has nicer interior materials. Rattling coming from every corner, and you can feel every crack in the concrete.

If your date is wearing a skirt or dress, there is no way she can sit down while looking decent.

death_blossom 06-25-2013 10:12 PM

can you get an early Gallardo for 80k yet?

if you want pussy, just get the flashiest badge you can get on a car. Merc S-class, SL55/63, older Ferraris, etc, etc

your take on the R8 being "sort of a pussy magnet" interests me. I would think it is exotic looking enough for a dumb girl to jump in your car for a roadside bj. girls seem to love convertibles too, there's another helpful tip.

MindBomber 06-25-2013 10:24 PM

I would select a Jaguar E-Type or a contemporary.

The vehicle following your tastes: Lamborghini Diablo.

ilvtofu 06-25-2013 10:28 PM

Out of the cars listed in this thread R8 would probably be my pic.
It is a much nicer and refined city car than even the 997 IMO (let alone R35 GTR) and holds its own on the track which can't be said for a few of the cars listed here.
Reasonably drivable year round too, and definitely a pussy magnet.

xpl0sive 06-25-2013 10:28 PM

can't get a gallardo for $80k yet... otherwise that would be at the top of my list... I would like to get a convertible instead of a coupe for sure... as far as an R8, it's sure a great looking car, but around here they are fairly common, still a great car though

Get a Lotus Exige, Elise, or Evora.

Test drive one first and see if you like them.

They are like large go-karts (the Elise) and the exhaust note on the Evora is very, very sexy (and loud).

The Evora is a little more than 80k, but the Elise and Exige is well below 80k.

The Evora has only 3 or 4 driven in BC (ref. Kai from LoV).

Or, the Audi R8 looks good as well, but the V8 version at 80k will have quite some miles/kms on it, I would assume.

i said that in the last page but its too low for girls to get in :okay:

Why not just get a different $10k car for each day of the week (and two for Sunday)?

SB7 06-25-2013 11:22 PM

Hmmm some ideas that haven't been thrown out yet:

Bentley Continental GT or Continental Flying Spur

1967-1968 Ford Mustang (Eleanor)

http://www.sunsetclassics.com/1968-m...ng-eleanor.jpg


Personally I would go with an Aston though

westopher 06-25-2013 11:28 PM

Those bentleys would be about as fun to drive as buying yourself a limo to drive yourself around in.

something like this would be butch....Depends on what style are you going at...If you are the steroid look at me type....yeah this will do nicely.

Problem is you better know how to handle that without ESP TRC etc....

^ Not sure if the KPGC10 is a girl magnet of any kind.

Szeto 06-25-2013 11:53 PM

2005 DB9 is in your price range. Dylan did a photo shoot with this one too iirc.

Pros: pussy magnet, great exhaust note, prestige of owning a Ferrari, great handling car, fun to drive
Cons: Ferrari maintenance costs $$$, depreciation, looks kind of dated... but I've seen them with new style wheels and they look great... like the silver one below

girls seem to like it lol yeah ok

kwy 06-26-2013 12:22 AM

lol you're looking for a pussy magnet? the kind of girls you'll pull with a nice car aren't the ones worth keeping. if you're just gonna pull gold diggers with an 80k car, why dont you just spend that 80k directly on whores and skip the car. just being honest.

FYI, for some reason Japanese girls love vans...i guess it's a cultural difference?
