Yes, I'll fix it for you. Again.

Haha, this is a funny topic, cause I'm right there too! My "third" car is the white Legacy, because I wanted something really fun to drive. That way I can keep the miles off of our green Impreza and allow the wife to daily drive the red Legacy wagon. If something breaks down, then we are still OK.

I'm expecting to swap or at least replace the motor in the red wagon in the near term, although it still runs fabulous right now. There is also the possibility that I blow the bottom end in the white Legacy, just because of the high miles, but it might run for a while as well, there are lots of them in the mid-200k range.

Either way, I am also thinking about another car this year so that I can have 3 running and one project at any given time. Believe it or not, the 510 and an 80's 3-series BMW are on my short list as well. The beemers are freaking cheap and everywhere right now. They are also pretty simple with RWD and a straight 6.

However, with a better budget I would buy Scott's car first!
