My work from home situation could change at any point and I also like the idea of a nice daily as well. If I knew things weren't going to change, I'd buy a manual 911 and call it a day. I'm just conflicted with where I want to put my money on a combo of cars or just keep one that's good at both the daily duties and fun (so far that's the RS5 in my case). Unfortunately I can't afford something amazing for both...well I could but I'd be getting a divorce.

LOL it wouldn't surprise me either, although I'm really really enjoying the combo of RS5 and Q7. For weekend use I've looked at everything from older 911's, Mustangs, F-Type (V8), the new GR86, even some of the "higher mileage" LC500's are coming down in price...higher mileage on those is like 15k miles, C63s Coupe, and a bunch more that I can't think of right now. Basically something that I don't care so much about gas mileage, is fun, and a little more out of my sterile Audi life (not complaining) that I kind of need as a work/life/fun balance vehicle. I also have 3 young kids, so the weekend car doesn't have to be something I need to ever transport anyone in. |
Cheap Miatas are always fun. Paid less than $5k for one and it has everything I wanted out of a weekend car. Light weight, hydraulic steering, cable throttle, fantastic manual and clutch, easy to mod, reliable as hell, super fun, and work hard for the power without going beyond the speed limit. Question is do you fit in one?
It may not have a growling V8 or smooth and seductive styling, but for the price it does a lot of what I want and provides a lot that isn't available on many or any new cars.
