Thinking about a basic low budget build, need some guidance...

Company is just fine ???


Regarding "bad idea"... so here is the deal. I like to ride the bus, no matter what vehicle is at my disposal, when the roads are bad I prefer to take the bus from my suburban home to downtown minneapolis. No big deal. Yes, I will put winter tires/wheels on it so that I can still have some fun Nov-Apr, but if it spends more than half the time in the garage during the winter, nobody cares.

This is not a "company car" in terms of being for corporate business, entertaining clients, or hauling equipment... It is for me to drive for fun, to promote my employer to other young software hotshots in the area, and let my engineers and tech staff grab the keys when they want something a little different or have a date or whatever. I run the engineering team, so I want to show some appreciation by having something that is worth sharing but that I also won't shed any tears (big tears at least) over if it ends up taking a hit.
