Men’s weaknesses (and a few women’s): women and cars. The fact that all guys love a beautiful fast car is an understatement. But not everyone knows how to smartly purchase a sport car.

In the beginning, establish an affordable budget and think what’s more important to you: power or gas mileage (by considering what type of gas you car will use, you can easily save money). And let’s not forget about maintenance. Don’t get fooled by the car’s purchase price because its upkeep can slowly kill your finances.

In addition, can you drive your future car through any seasons and weather conditions? If winter scares the mighty beast, then maybe you should reconsider.
