A Car Fit For A Protagonist
A little exercise for the car buffs:
I'm writing a protagonist who needs to have a distinctive car.
Should be:
Late-model, not classic or vintage.
An object of masculine desire that women will be impressed by.
Distinctive, not cookie-cutter.
Cool and expensive, but not in the price stratosphere. Not a luxury geezer-wagon no Cadillacs or Bentleys (unless it's some sports model).
Sexy. Head-turning. High performance.
Available in the US.
"You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you've got something to say."
F. Scott Fitzgerald

You can get a six or seven year old Porsche 911 convertible for something like $30k.
A friend of mine just got one.
Nice car.

Also, a friend of mine has a mid 80s Aston Martin convertible. It would probably sell for about 100k, so it's affordable, and it's VERY distinctive. It has a thrilling exhaust growl and she body style is very ****; it turns heads when you drive it.
Take a look at some of the older Aston convertibles.
Of course, that's whn it's not in the shop.

A BMW Z-8 distinctive enough? I don't know how common they are over there at the moment. Pretty, though. And relatively affordable.

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all
