Alright. As all of you know, I'm selling the b00sted pig b/c I don't like the way it handles, it's been a money sucking-whore, and lots of other reasons and heartaches. Obviously, I'm not going to track the mkIV, and especially not if that is also my daily driver. Sooooo, what do you think I should buy? I'm looking for something that is fairly reliable (so no rotaries), under 2 grand (doesn't have to run but needs to be easy/cheap to fix), and still decent looking. I'd like it to get decent gas mileage, but fun to drive, and serve primarily as my daily driver/track slut, leaving the IV as a possible track car occaisionally but primarily to drive for fun. Should have a strong aftermarket and handle well enough that you can have confidence in it on the track. Here's what I've come up with so far:
AWD DSM: So what, I'm infected with b00st. This would be a badass daily driver and seems to be pretty reliable, definitely easy to make faster.
Civic: Probably keep the stock motor for a while and TRY to blow it up, resulting in the need to do a swap. Probably an early-mid 90s. Easy on gas, not the fastest in the world, but still a lot of fun.
S13 240: Rex has really gotten me interested in these. Fun to drive, easy to work on, ample aftermarket, RWD, not too bad on gas, looks terrific, cheap to buy and maintain.
WRX: Great to get around town, b00st, still pretty far out of my budget though.
vtAk prelude: sweet looking car, not slow, don't know too much about it though.
E36: probably the only BMW that I actually like, although I know absolutely nothing about them or what kind of options they had. Pipe in here guys, you know me pretty well and what I would like. I also recognize it's probably out of the price range, but good to keep it in mind.
