No for real this time. Once the frame (unibody) on the RS got bent I decided I really had to finally let it go. Now I'm graduating will have a job inside of two weeks and it's time to start looking.

My choices...

2005-2006 STi
Keeping with the Subaru habit. I like the torque and out of the box performance. On the negative side, they always feel soft and heavy when I drive them and lack of a sunroof FTL.

2003+ EVO GSR or MR
It's a Mitsu so I have to deal with douchebag owners. Sharper than the STi and better looking, but less of punch in the stomach torque.

2005+ Tacoma TRD extended cab 4x4
Return to my 4x4 roots. Still has decent power but I can take it camping and off-roading. Girls probably like it more than either of the cars too.

2004+ Titan
Bigger and cooler looking than the Tacoma and usually cheaper too. V8 power but also V8 mpg and it's large for driving in LA.

Outside chances if I get a really good job...

2007 335ci
It's an awesome car but I might (will) feel like a tool for dropping $45k on a car.

2005 Elise
It's an elise, but it's also an elise. Fun but not practical.

Any suggestions or thoughts?
