Always figured a G35 or mid 00's M3.. and Evo 5+ would be nice.
..I was also considering getting a 4x4 truck of some sort, I love the idea of being able to beat it to death, throw whatever into the back without worrying about it getting scratched or dented.

I plan to keep the SC around to tinker with for a while, but what I buy next depends on where I live and the climate.

Its amazing that 3 out 5 people on here mentioned some sort of BMW. They are great cars. I have had one now for 3 years and only replaced a window regulator that broke, other than normal maintenance. I would have to say maybe E46 M3? They quick, stylish, and plenty of modding to do to it.

I'm not hanging from the SC's ******* like it seems like so many people are. I bought the car because I've always thought they were pretty cool cars, I liked the rare color, and the price was right. But I have no allegiance to this car whatsoever. I'd sell it in a heartbeat if something else came along that I wanted. I don't get all hung up on cars, they are just toys. With all that being said the car I'd replace the SC with will probably be an 03 or up CL500/600/55.

Honestly I dont have any plans on selling the SC.....every now and then I entertain the thought of getting rid of her but thats only when she starts talking back to me and being a royal ***** lol..........hell I do the same with the wifey and have yet to can her lol.
I didnt buy the SC to impress anyone and I could seriously careless whether the style is out of date or not, as long as I like the look of it thats what matters to me. If people find the SC out of date, slow, etc they can kiss one of my 2 *** cheeks......and if they really have an issue they can kiss both and call it a day.
I have a few other cars/toys that I have for my need for speed and long drives all of which I would sell before my SC........there is just something about the SC that I love more than most cars out today. Imo most cars that are out today look like a they came from another planet and have zero character........they all come from the same mold and thats just not for me. To me the SC has character which very few cars nowadays have and only a handful from the 90's.
To the OP.............I dont know you from a hole in the wall so dont think I'm being a jerk or anything like that and please dont take this personal because that is not my intention. If you are going to sell the SC because it is becoming out dated, under powered, etc........then I would recommend either A) getting out of the car game because 90% of cars go through this or B) stop trying to fit in or impress people by what you drive because it is a battle you will not win.
Now with that being said if you or anyone else are going to sell the SC because you stop liking it, financial reasons, family, etc............then imo thats a good reason to move on, but if its for reasons as mentioned before you are going to end up buying and selling alot of cars and houses in your life.
To stay on topic I'm looking into the purchasing another GTO Judge or a Tundra neither of which will be replacing the SC, instead they will be complimenting it lol

SC was bought as my daily, and always will. From the leather, to the automatic raising steeringwheel, to the auto dimming mirror, and nakamichi sound system, the car is so practical as a cruiser its hard to go down the road from that to hardcore gutted race bucket. The 1UZ's longevity makes engine swaps for the SC400 kind of taboo in my mind... you could swap it for a 6 shooter but you will never get the reliability of the V8 1UZ..
With that being said, I'd either buy another SC, prob a 300 w/ a 5 speed, and track it, grip or drift... and if I get some garage space a 20V all motor or turbo AE86. Unless something more intriguing comes my way like an FD rx-7 or Galant VR-4... thats the plan.
