GT-R is faster and a *LOT* cheaper, but the LF-A is much less common (at least in SoCal) and sounds  Complete toss-up for me, but if I had LF-A money I'd probably cop a MP4-12C and keep the change...

I drive stick, it's never been a problem, even with small children. No family, but I know guys with families that drive manual all day... no worries. That said, MPLS is right. I've driven SMG M5's, M3's, and some DSG's; they can drive just as rough as a 16 year old learning how to drive...

Too much caps in this thread. OP... if you can afford it, do it. As for the Mustang fans, if he wanted a lightning quick sports car with the interior of a 1990 import econobox, he probably wouldn't have an M35S right now. Different priorities for different people, and a Cobra isn't really...

^this. It's all about setup... anyone can run 800-1000 HP, but if the can't put the power down then it's worthless.  But with the right tires/transmission/suspension/turbo setup/etc, 7 to 8 second QM is DEFINITELY possible with a 2JZ Supra.

MUST DO - Standard tourist stuff.  National Mall/monuments, go hit up Ben's, maybe set up a congressional tour through your representative.  At least seeing the White House is a must, taking the tour is kinda imho, they don't let you see much, and it's a pain to set it up through your rep...

Grew up outside LA in Diamond Bar, but spent every damn summer in East LA just off the 60 @ Downey haha.  Was in DC for the last five months living in Dupont, came back to LA to finish school last month; moving back early in 2012.  Miss DMV so, so much
