I drive a 2002 WRX wagon daily, my wife drives a new Rx8 daily and we have the 7 for weekends and general extra fun. I am very happy with this combo of cars. A little of everything. Couldn't do the 7 as a daily, roads are rough with the R-1 suspension, I would be too wacked out about parking in downtown Philly, not my favorite car in the elements, very loud, in the shop sometimes for a month at a time. All the things that make it a great collector, fun car, make it a tough daily driver.

I think I finally have made my decision unless someone can persuade otherwise. If you didn't check out my other post I was debating on whether to get a 99-03 1.8T Q. Or an 89-94 240SX.

I decided on the Audi because of reliability and looks off the bat. I won't have much downtime because I will be putting a new engine in, LSD or any other major mechanical modifications which would lead to major projects taking up time and money from the 7

Yes I could drive the 7 during the times I would be installing something into the 240... but. **** now I am torn once again.

Please help me out guys. I know the ultimate decision is mine but I need to decide quick and opinions are needed.

My daily driver is Honda delSol VTEC. Very nice car. I have it for 4 years now. Very dependable and good performance vise considering 1.6L engine and 160hp.

I sold my sports bike (ZX6R) few months back. Can't upkeep all 3 of them

I will be selling my delSol soon and will be getting an Integra TypeR.

My daily driver is a bicycle(Nobrand with a nexus 7 speed). My primary car is a 2000 Citrus Yellow Insight. I also have a rusty 86 B2000 that sees about 2K miles a year. I tell everyone that I don't think of my FD as a car, it's my big red toy.

Not sure if I mentioned this earlier, when this thread was created last year,
2001 Toyota Avalon XLS or my FD.
Just depends on whether or not I have class that day.
Class = Toyota

My 03 Supercharged Xterra is the usual ride with the GSX-R 750 being next. The FD is next in line with the 85 GSL-SE W/383 being the last to come out of the garage. I take my mountain bike to work if I get up early enough.

If the weather is shitty I'll take my '92 Suburban 4 X 4. If I need to haul something I'll take my Mazda pickup. If I have to take big dogs from my or other companies out to lunch, I'll take the S80.

It is nice to have choices.....
