ok here is my plan… I don’t want to drive the gti in the winter… not cuz its new but becuase its wrong wheel drive and its not as much and a rwd car in snow. So here is what I want to do: Pick up a early 90’s BMW 3 series (I6…not a 4 cyl.) for around 3 grandish… throw some winters on her and drive for the winter… then after the winter is over i will have _hopfully_ a decent amount of cash. I would then like to maybe throw a turbo kit on her or something along those lines, basicly make a quick car out of it. How much of a project am I lookin at and is it going to be doable with a 3grand car and about 4 grand left to build it. ---

RWD in the winter is my prefrence, if you know how to drive it. It feels more safe to me that way. Also way more fun to drive.
