Have you considered the GTO at all? I think they've gone down in price since I was looking at them, $10-15k for a nice example, dat reliability, speed, powah, back seat (which I think you've said you need).MexicanYarisTK wrote:hence why i'm downgrading.

To sort of squash my desires, I spend a bit of time thinking about what I'll get as a DD... the thing is, I have no real plans to need a DD in the short term, so nothing's really going to happen.Melon wrote:D Griff wrote:Honestly... not much for me right now.

My problem is, anything I'm interested in is double the price.

135i (reliability: )
5.0 (price: just can't see paying way more for it than what I've got)
GT350 (can't afford )
E90 M3/E46 M3 (reliability/maintenance )
Miata/FRZ (downgrade kinda and less practical )
The best thing for me is to continue with an occasional mod to keep myself interested enough, enjoy the car and

You don't drive a whole lot so reliability probably wouldn't play into the equation much. But otherwise yeah I agree with your assessment. Your brubtub is pretty dang nice, and you seem to really enjoy it.D Griff wrote:In my current situation with owning only one car, only a few things interest me much:Detroit wrote: My problem is, anything I'm interested in is double the price.

Yea, but when you don't drive a lot, reliability is even more important. The few times you can drive, you want it to work 100%.

This is why I out of my Miata.
FUCK coming home after a week or two on the road to find your car is broken and you have to dedicate one of your two days at home to fixing it when you want to hang with your slam piece, friends, etc.

I'm still hesitant to mod the for this reason mainly.

Now that I have a place with a decent driveway to work and I generally buy whatever tools required and have NAPA in walking distance, I generally enjoy working on my car, but when I have other plans/such limited time at home, it's not something I want to be forced to do. I usually reserve the voluntary stuff for when my gf has other things going on and use it to bro out with my car buddy. Taco Bell, wrenching and a few brews with him is a pretty Saturday.

You only say this because you haven't had issues that left you stranded and without a car like a stuck clutch.D Griff wrote:Now that I have a place with a decent driveway to work and I generally buy whatever tools required and have NAPA in walking distance, I generally enjoy working on my car, but when I have other plans/such limited time at home, it's not something I want to be forced to do.

Planning for a brake Job or an oil change is completely different
