If I didn't need my pickup so much I'd be ordering one, personally. Maybe when the truck's paid off.

The problem I see over and over again is the addiction of manufacturers to require massive packages of unrelated items if you want one thing. Before I bought my car I was looking at the Focus RS, only options I wanted were the HID headlights and fog lights, according to the website it was a few hundred bucks but the second I clicked on it I was asked to picked one of two $3k+ option groups that included all kinds of other crap I couldn't care less about. thats how the prices rack up so fast.
If I could take a base Camaro/Mustang/Challenger and just add performance stuff without wasting money on uncomfortable and overpriced seats, stereo that I won't listen to, huge and heavy pimp rims(with matching SUV performance-ish tires), and all the rest of that crap I would probably be spending time figuring out which one I was buying. But since the only way to get one upgrade is to spend excessive amounts of money on fully pimped out mode I'll stick to an econo box and tinkering with old cars.
