So I’ll likely be offloading my e30 soon and moving into another daily, which I already have in mind. However, I’m not sure what I want to move into as my fun car. I won’t say what I’ve already thought of or thought of and said no to, mostly because I want to see what other people have had and how their ownership experience has been. I don’t want to spend more than 10k or so. I would go for anything from a balls fast car to a baller cruising car. Reliability really doesn’t matter for this one. Ideas please! ---
