It is declining as a % of cars though.

Don't forget 20" wheels, Xenon lights, headrest DVD players, and "Monsoon" stereo systems (with sub-par speakers, but what they don't know won't hurt them)

Plenty of good options for under $35K! - Miata (my choice) - S2000, before they're all gone - 370Z - Genesis Coupe - Mini Cooper S - Evo X - STI - RX-8 (note that this is a list of good drivers' cars, not saying anything about reliability or gas mileage) |

You're probably right, Chris. Online car shopping leaves me with an awful case of sticker shock. Unfortunately I haven't done much serious shopping/haggling in a long time. Despite being very tired of my Dakota, I'm kind of liking not having any car or bike notes to worry with
