If you love all cars but not happy with anything enough to keep, then you don't love them. You bounce around from car to car, is there anything you have that is "complete"? I ask that, because you have cars to work on already, yet you want other cars. Usually people who go on with cars and car never finish any of them, usually just for show and no go (which is ok if that's your thing).
Well sorry to say but...... "Whatever makes you happy", because you have to decide what is going to make you happy, we can't decide for you. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

dont get the vdub
you already had a tt and you already owned a rx-8 id say pick one of these 3 that are in your price range 05-06 M3 vert or coupe w/about 30-40k 01-04 zo6 with anywhere from 18-45k or if you really want to go baller an 04-06 CTS-V w/anywhere from 20-40k im tossing them 3 cars around now trying to figure out which one i want to pick up in the near future. All 3 are pushing 330 or over...might be a little too much power then your use too but all good choices either way. mix it up a little -------------------- I"M NOT A TOYOTA FAN, IM A FANATIC 1984 accord hatch 5 speed (T-Belt)-Junkyard 1991 VDUB jetta wolfsburg Ed. 5 speed (clutch)-junkyard 1988 Dodge Aries K (sold) 1969 Chevy El camino - Traded for celica 1991 Dodge Daytona-Traded for Celica 1988 Chevy Camaro-Work in Progress 1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 - For Sale 1995 Toyota Celica-Work in Progress |

the cts-v's feel like junk. The transmission just doesn't do it for me personally.
Are you looking for a bone-stock peppy daily driver as your 3 choices indicate? with a classic and two project celi's, why not go with a baller sedan like an is350 (my personal favorite) or a beamer? |

shoulda went with a 350z or a wrx sti for the price of that. ^^
I mean, if you are happy with it, then that's all good. It is a very clean and pretty car, however..... personally, it is like the 7th gen in my opinion.. (chick car status). But if you are looking to trade it in one day, then rock it till the wheels fall off man. Glad you found something you are happy with. -------------------- 91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204

mazda has one of the biggest race car followings, sponsored by mothers products and safedriving, they had 2 semi trucks with 6 rx8s, we smoked all of them but the turboed one because he was in a higher class
