Nordschleife Master
Porsche 944 1983 to 1991
Price Range: $4000 to $12,000
Why It's Cool: It's a Porsche, albeit a front-engined one that shares components with period Audis. Nimble, durable, lots of storage space. Cheaper than the floor mats in a new 911.
What It Says: "I enjoy sausages, Kraftwerk and blowing exhaust smoke into the faces of air-cooled-Porsche purists."
Speed Bumps: Timing-belt breakage means certain engine death. Sardine-can driveline packaging and obnoxious parts pricing means maintenance is expensive. Turbo models don't feel as fast as they cost.
Why You Want It Anyway ...: Speedy enough to get you into trouble, reliable enough to help you get out of it. In the right hands, it will embarrass a 911. Perpetually proletarian.

Yeah. Right. 
Lart: I was a Public Defender in Chicago (western 'burbs). No longer licensed since I moved to the Great White North (better known as Canuckistan). Short answer: ALL I did was criminal defense work. A lot of it. Tons. More than any human should ever have to. Just sayin'.

I'd have to do the equivalent of another year of law school, then sit for the bar. 
Too burned out for that ****.
