I like to dream about cars like everyone else but man you are all over the place.

If you do get an M3 make sure to get the service contract they have some issues.

What Acura Type S do you like? Type S is not a model it is a trim level, the RSX, CL and TL all come in a Type S version. Or are you referring to the new TL type S?

All of the G35 "Skylines" I see people aren't calling them GT-R's, just Skylines. There is one that lives down the road from a friend. I give those people props for being different in their mods. But really it is the same as the bB badge on my xB. As the G35 is the Skyline in Japan, but also remember that Skylines in Japan are like Ford Crown Victoria's here, Taxi's, Cop Cars, etc...

i thought the new skyline was 85k but my friend said its 69k..i dont know..anyone know? that car is so sweet
There are a few pricing levels, for future reading there are some great blogs put out by Jack from RB Motoring and Sean Morris one of the originals from Motorex. Now to clear up any confusion and to give out more information than anyone wants to know about the United States Skyline disaster here goes. Motorex was shut down because of not doing everything they stated they were going to do, and falsifying crash tests. The only car that was crashed was a R33, an auto model at that, that was not the issue. The issue was the R32's and R34's that were being passed through under 1 crash test. Also there were some drugs involved. Hiro was Motorex, he is now in jail. There is a thread on Fresh Alloy with the detective on the case, Detective Sui (I think) for anyone that wants more information. There are several forums around but that is the rundown. RBMotoring was simply importing cars, and having Motorex legalize them. If anyone is curious on more info please feel free to PM me, as I have had some great conversations with Motorex'ed Skyline owners and others on this topic.

Now that history is over here are the blogs;
GTR-USA - About Skylines in the United States - http://gtrusa.blogspot.com/
2009GTR - Information about the 2009GTR - http://www.2009gtr.com/

For pricing from 2009GTR

Coming in at a cool $69,850 the base GT-R slides in nearly $2,000 under the base Z06. The Premium trim GT-R, which adds Bose audio, heated seats and side air bags and more, rings up at $71,900 - a far cry from a fully-loaded Z06 3LZ, which will run you $77,545.
Also autoblog.com has been covering this as well.

But you wouldn't be able to get the car for a good amount of years because insurance wouldn't cover you.
That is debatable. You can get insurance on any car, just really depends on how deep your pockets are. In some cases putting up a bond will help get you covered. Or as most of my vehicles are company vehicles and anyone in the company can drive them, that is one way to do it.
