Lol, I need to move somewhere where my only mode of transportation is a bike. I have no desire to trade/sell them once I have them. Cars…not so much.

I’m not bad with cars, I just have bought cars that haven’t satisfied my needs. My first car was a 2g automatic spyder - wanted a 5sp, convertible sucked in winter. my second car was a lowered 3000gt - loved everything about the car, but already had a summer ride, so I needed an all year round vehicle. Third was my Blazer, fit the needs of a winter vehicle but not the needs of 5sp, fun, or sporty.

What scares me is why is it in his sig ? :bloated: Anway Chris you obviously haven’t found a style of car that your content with. Ex: 2G DSM spyder - clearly blasting spice girls with the top down wasn’t for you, slammed 3000GT - you realized that your life demands more practicality, blazer/trucks - the space is nice, but your obviously unhappy with it. That only leaves my to believe the best choice for you at this point is a car that doesn’t do one thing or one area really well but is kinda meh in others. 3 series, A4, TL…EXT. Not too flashy, sporting enough to be satisfying, has enough space for most everything you need, comfortable enough to live with and at the end of the day you have no major gripes about the car, it serves it purpose and is enjoyable to drive. The WRX is a very nice car, do I think you’ll get sick of it…oh yeah. just my .02

you should seriously start a business advising/counseling people on what car to buy. Like a vehicle matchmaker…maybe you can get your own tv show.

WAYYY too much for an E36 323 IMO, hell M’s with a bit more miles are almost going for that, it would have to be immaculate.

Edit: E36’s have cooling system issues too, be aware of it and make sure its been over hauled if thats the way your looking to go

He is, and not that I dont trust his work (if he is even putting back to stock) but if your going euro car its important to shell for one that has a clean history, and and been well maintained, no BS or you’ll regret it in the reliability dept.

Knock what off? I was serious about the matchmacker biznass. Not mocking or anything. He drives different cars all day long and see’s the types of people that drive them. Profit. Like those VW commercials and the signature BS.
