93 Audi S4

- Needed winter car
- Wanted one for a while
- Tons of potential, though I’ll never use it.

02 911TT

- One of my dream cars
- Amazing potential in almost every aspect, except MPG
- Depreciated like crazy since new, now relatively affordable

96 Skyline GTR

- Same as 1 for 911
- Same as 2 for 911
- Easier to sell (when the time comes) than the R34

05 Legacy GT (when I first bought it)

- Cheaper monthly payments than my G35
- Cheaper insurance than my G35
- Great potential, being almost like a refined, mature STi.
