Though a Kie truck would be amazing.

I think we might get my wife either a Tacoma sr5, or a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

I lean toward the Abarth still... just silly cheap fun with all the modern comforts. I will have to look at the Golf R, STi, and Chevy SS too.... Maaaaaybe a 2nd gen Toyota FJ Might have to take a look at the ATS-V Used they are a deal.

Get an R32 GTR, daily drive it. Done.

3. It is louder than I expected - road noise.

This thing handles amazing, better than my track cars. I haven't found its limits yet (which is good because its only been street driven).

If I want more power, its going to take a $650 Access Port tuner and I can get close to 300 HP. with a tune, pipe, and a cold air intake, I can get well over 300 HP.

In its stock tune, I am getting as good as 7.02L/100 kms calculated at the pump.

Underneath, it is well protected with lots of skid plates. It is remarkably well put together.

2 things occurred to me when I first got this car...

1. Why weren't the guys with STIs in my run group way faster? If they were anything like my WRX, they should have been a lot faster than my old air cooled 911s.


2. I have owned close to 75 cars in my life, why has it taken so long to get into a WRX?

That's a pretty compelling argument. I've never had a WRX but did have a Legacy GT wagon with a tune and the typical bolt-ons, it was a damn quick car that was nice to drive. My only knock with the WRX has been the cheapish interior, you're making me think I should take another look.
