964 Targa Lost, Chick Car Found
Pranged the 964 last week, decided to take a different tack concerning cars. I start work in DC in May and needed more of a city car. As much as I enjoyed the Targa the last three plus years and over 30K miles, practical matters.
Without further ado, my new to me, pre-owned, certified 2006 325i with just over 15k on the ODO:

You must have missed my post last week where I picked up a used 325i with a 5-speed and sport package! Great car. Snowed about 4 inches last night and with the traction control had no problem getting around.

I expected a Mini or Miata. That's not a chick car! Very nice, so are you still going to pick up another 911?

Kind of blends in with the crowd, but that can be a good thing when you are in a hurry.

That's not a chick car! (Well, ok, maybe the automatic is a little chicky!)
That's a good looking car, I'm sure you'll enjoy it! |

 USAA gave me a very fair settlement.The body shop guy thought the range would be 4 to 5k. There were two guys for Pelican who were interested, but when the salvage got stupid, we waved-off. If one of the two doesn't want my spares (for free) I'll post on the 964 board or call Ryan

Seahawk, I can't comment on the dependability of the E46 cars, but my E36 325i has been the best car I have ever owned. It is currently my daily driver for my 40 mile each way commute to work. It has 280,000 miles on it's original engine/trans/clutch and still runs/drives great.
Congrats on a great driver!
