I would love to buy my friends 95 gsr that has just been sitting behind his fathers shop for 10 months and rebuild it from the ground up. it needs all sorts of work from body work to suspension and so on and so on, but the engine is strong. But the ultimate goal is to keep the s forever and get a suitable daily driver like and evo or an sti to have some fun in the winter months.

getting a new car just for 4 person blunt rides is not worth it

keep the S
I have had 2 seaters my whole life
Reasons for keeping:
love saving the gas when there are large groups
when large groups are going places you can because you are not the DD

Realistically, having s2k I don't need any other car right now, but I was thinking about Suba Outback or Toyota FJ Cruiser as a 4 seater and car for long trips like for skiing or whatever long trip I might have.

Just for fun, I would buy some italian Alfa Romeo to shock everybody around , they are so beautiful!!!! But they are pain an the axx in terms of maintenance (a friend of mine had one in Russia...)

Most favorite of mine is "Alfa Romeo 33-2 Stradale" - but this is just a dream...





Beautiful, isn't it?

My S is going bye-bye next month, then I will be driving the wife' civic until we trade that in for a mini-van. Then after that, I will be looking for another car. Another S would be nice, but not practical since I want to try to start my own business next year.

I want all-wheel drive. I want cheaper payments.
And I wouldn't mind having a wagon, as I have wanted one for a while.
So, used Audis and Subarus or maybe that new Suzuki SX4 crossover which is all wheel drive. But these are just ideas, who knows what I'll end up with.

And it has to be a 4 door so I can drive my car and still haul my kids aroud in it if I feel like it

And if it had to be a project car, an old 60's mustang.

I like killship's idea, but I rather save the money, go to Japan, find a true Silvia S15 in Grey, and bring it back over here

Freek's choice is a sexy car with nice curves, but not my choice.

I like Nissans especially their "DET(T)" engines on Silvia's and Skyline's, but for project car I would choose some car kit like FactoryFive (they have things like Cobra replicas and GTM supercars - http://www.factoryfive.com/) when you have a lot of opportunities to apply different mods and still be street legal.
