Honestly, it might just be me, but spending 30g’s on a DD seems kinda ridiculous. Spend 10g on a decent car to putz around in have keep the 20 for something you might need, or invest it, or your toy. ---

Noah your 100% correct, if i had the 30 grand i would get a good reliable car for 10-15, hell you could get a vw brand new for that much and a few other cars. ---

i think most of you are overlooking the fact that is DD status, not hot rod status. its nice to have a DD thats got some power and is fun, but you want a car that you can take anywhere, in any weather condition and not worry about it. SRT8 and TBSS dont seem practical to me in that sense because of gas mileage, big inch tire/wheels that cost alot, and using those tires in the winter would suck. Also would you take them to a city and leave it parked? I’d be worried about it getting broken into just because they are a higher class vehicle, more flashy and attract attention. A good daily driver has to be a nice comfortable car but with low maintenance costs. Has to get good mileage too. ---

Has to get good mileage too. Wrong. A good DD is something you can enjoy on a day to day basis & is dependable so as to not break down. If gas mileage was the biggest concern, than why are there so many SUVs, full size trucks, minivans, etc on the road? Not everyone driving them is an enthusiast. Prolly 85% are DD’s. I think you are missing the picture. The original post was looking for suggestions. We are merely (sp?) suggesting what we would want. ---
