Daily driver or sports car? (or both...)

Yikes, $20k into a 951....oh the possibilities

Also:
930s can be found in that area
Boxster S's are nearing that too
i'd consider a 968 too

gee, all Porsches there...hell, why go away from 'em?

Um... I'm thinking a pre-owned Land Cruiser (75-80K miles) with a 2" lift, a supercharger, and Slee Off Road bumpers.

And THEN to pull behind it: an 18' Hewes Bonefisher poling skiff, preferably with a newer Suzuki 4-stroke. Then, the fish would FEAR ME.

But that's just me, dude.

My brother in law just got a new G35 sedan and LOVES it. When he had it serviced they gave him a G35 coupe loaner which my big sis drove all week. She said it ROCKED. In a righteous, divine sort of fashion. That's a lot of coin for ONE car, though. I'm all about bang-buck ratio. A nicely equipped Honda Accord would leave you enough coin left over for a new KTM Duke 950...

lol, I was going to say Civic Type-R, but then I realized you guys can get real cars for 30k sometimes it sucks to be here... plain wrx is 49.5k and sti is 62.4k(!!)

Dad has a VW Passat, which apparently shares a whole lot of parts with Audi A4 (like the 4wd and the V6 engine). So far (2+ years, 90k kms) it has been very reliable and the torsen based four wheel drive kicks serious ***... so an A4 (or S4) just might be a good choice
