I gotta say, cars are like clothes or shoes, different occasion, different car for a different purpose. Obvious, but you can't wear a nice pair of Italian dress shoes to go play ball. It's like asking yourself to choose just 1 pair of shoes and outfit for everything and sticking with it for a year - it's impossible.

I'll probably start with a used Miata or S2000 and pick up a lease with a Subaru Legacy, Maxima, Passat, or 328. I'll see if I'm still feeling the Z as a 3rd car or just let it go.

Gonna do some car shopping and lots of test driving.

S2k is a great call for what it sounds like you want.

Sweet, all those cars besides the Passat sound great. Have fun in the process

Planning for what? I test drove the car, loved the initial impressions, but then the little things started becoming more pronounced.

These aren't the things that you can really get from a test drive, for me anyways. Only after I daily drove it for some time.

It took about a year and 15k miles and only then since I was willing to give it time for me to adjust to the car. Just never posted about it.

having a practical (or atleast be able to carry 4 passengers) dd and a sports car for hobby. you mentioned one car can't do it all. that's a given for a 2 seater sports car, no? i dont want a practical hobby car. defeats the purpose of just having plain fun.
