dumb car choice poll!

[TurboDomestics]

I need to find another car to drive and modify. And it has to be a year round car. Ive limited it to the following 3, but I just cant decide which one Id want. What does Style have to say??


Which would YOU do if you had the choice??



1) NA Miata (90-97) Most likely base model, and probably the 1.6 liter. And then buy a 1.8 liter rebuild it, and turbo eventually, if I think it would need it.

Pros:

-Light and nimble.
-RWD!
-Sexy convertable

Cons:

-A bit on the spendy side, for a college kid, and I dont want to take out a loan. $5-6k
-Convertable in the winter??

2) S13 DOHC 240sx. Rebuild the KA24DE, and then turbo and lsd. Eventually a nice S15 front end swap.

Pros:

-Good handling.
-RWD!
-Sexy car, with lots of potential.
-Relatively cheap, $2-3k

Cons:

-Hard to find a nice one with a manual tranny.
-Not as easy to get horsepower out of as the DSM, and not as light and nimble as the miata.

3) 1g AWD DSM. Ive tried before, and failed before. I have a shell, but it might be sold. I just blew a motor up, and im still not excatly sure what happened or why.

Pros:

-Easy HP.
-AWD!!

Cons:

-DSM reliability.
-Not that good loooking, but will do.

So what would you do?
