Default thinking of selling the 951

Thinking of selling the 951 and getting a Mini cooper S or Boxster. I need a car I can drive on a daily basis, If I keep the 951 I think I'll end up with a speeding ticket soon : ) .

I can't afford the boxster S, Any opinions?

If you sell the 951 DO NOT get a Mini Cooper. That would be the downgrade of the century.IMHO

I like the Mini cooper S , I hear it handles real well. What you think about a 98 Boxster ?

Just put a wooden block under the gas pedal on the 951. That'll keep the tickets in check.

Here's the deal, I drive to your place, nice 5 to 6 hours drive, we switch cars, I drive back. All doable, and you end up with a nice S2 which should be easier on the tickets level.

... Wait a minute, I don't even know what your 951 looks like!

I'm assuming it snows alot in Toronto, being so close to Detroit and Buffalo. I'd go for a WRX. Comes in three levels for your pricing and performance ambitions. Plus AWD.

How much were you thinking of selling it for, and what's the mileage? Any other details would be nice too.
