While the SR20 or the RB would be great to have, I think your OP said you"re fixin' to be on a tighter budget.

I wouldnt mind owning a srt4 to be honest... not the prettiest thing to look at but im sure its a fun car. on the other hand, ive been in a type S before and i love the layout and the feel to it... would be a nice change imho.

So you need cheaper transportation but you are looking into:
"bmw m's, audi s's, old old cars (muscle). evo, STI, MINI S jcw, etc...(old supra, nsx, bmw 8 series) 4Runner, durango r/t, pathfinder (wishfully armada), land rover"

a little contradiction here?

Auto Trader, newspaper, just hope you're handy with a wrench 'cause it will have to be an old one.

I dunno if it's much cheaper, but I think a mazdaspeed 3 would be a lot of fun. RSX's are fun too.

You can get a nice used e36 M3 for around $15k these days... what a steal...
yeah, alright... good call. payments too high on the z right now and would look at getting something in the $0-$15,000 range. I can justify practicality either way... bought the Z barely used (sold it to me as new - long story) love the car, just need to cut a few dollars here and there.
