What to do!?

Well as you all know Ive got dilemas... Mentally... Here it is..

I have the need for a new daily driver.. I have the following

04 Z06- Not a daily... FOR SALE
05 Subaru WRX/STi... Definatly not a daily..
05 Honda Accord Hybrid... Mommas daily
99 Lexus RX300... My POS daily/winter warrior

My 05 STi is not a daily driver because well... Ill list the body mods alone:

Took body to bare metal resprayed ENTIRE car 03 wrx sonic yellow
3 new trunk lids 1 stock sti, 1 stock wingless 1 carbon w/ LE Spoiler
Stock hood painted to match
2.5RS Carbon fiber hood painted to match
Full custom roll cage painted with car
JDM Headlamps
Limited spoiler
Custom side mirrors
No key lock on the exterior ie custom door handle and trunk

Well... Plenty more and thats just the body.. We wont go in to how much time I have into that car since I did it all by myself.. and now I feel it is too nice to drive, the chassis only has 8xxx on it and it has a very fresh built motor..

So here is my deal I am looking at 2 different cars..

07 STi Limited in Urban Grey number 580
03 WRX with 22xxx miles.

If I got the Limited I may just treat it like my z06 and it wont ever leave the garage...

The bugeye well... I do have an engine/tranny out of my 05 STi with 8xxx miles and I may just mod the **** out of it just as bad as I modded the 05... I guess the 05 is my pure dream car after my 1st wife made me sell it I wanted it back and finally have it.. Dream car number 2 is the 07 limited... But I fear itd sit..


What do I do... and dont suggest therapy.. It doesnt help.

If you don't want to put more miles on it or it's given you problems I can see the issue. If it's solid though and you don't care about the miles... although fuel consumption isn't as low as it could be.

Haha there should be a modders anonymous support group.. but i doubt that would even help us

I would say get the 07 STi Limited and tryyy not to mod it lol I love the limiteds. Because if you get the wrx you wont be able to stop yourself from modding it. Thats just my 2 cents. Good luck with your hunt

I have a hybrid accord for the trips in the summer/spring/fall. What I need is a daily with more winter worthy capabilities like the subaru. Maybe Ill find an LGT so I cant really mod it as easily as I could the wrx or sti..

Use your Lexus... or get the '03 WRX. Or if you don't trust yourself to not mod it, get a mundane Honda Civic.

I think I am going to get the wrx. I will mod it but I won't be doing a full repaint or go too crazy

i vote limited.

just keep the mindset that it's the "luxury" version of the STi, no modding necessary
