When you’ve worked hard to save up some cash, there are few things more rewarding than when you can go out and spend it on something you really want. For a gearhead with a nice chunk of notes in their back pocket, this usually leads to searching around your local dealer lots to find a new car. Of course, when it’s something you want rather than need, the likes of dependable family buses like the Toyota Camry or Chevrolet Blazer go out the window, and you focus your attention on something with a bit of performance purpose. It used to be that you could buy a brand-new spirited sports car for well under the $30k mark, though sadly, these days are long gone. And in a big way.
