If Sara wants a WRX (understandable) maybe she should be daily driving the BRZ Turbo for fun times when it suits and save the Imprezza for the winter and when you need a bit more room.

I would daily the turbo BRZ and see how you like it before doing anything. It always helps to have a backup of the same chassis you rally with.
Another thought, what's the turbo kit on the BRZ worth? Maybe just sell that for your rally entry fees and make that car a more reliable, economical daily.
I always thought rallycrossing in my daily driver was a competitive edge over others who only got to drive their cars at events. I was so in tune with what that car would do and could practice hucking it around just by taking the long way home from work. I'm not sure how far off the white car is from your rally car balance wise but maybe that is something to consider.
I miss my 87 MR2 that I sold a couple years ago. Or at least I miss the idea of it and what I used to do pre-kids. Don't have any constructive advice.
Sell the ones you don't enjoy, replace Sara's daily driver, then spend money on rally fees and the sort until you find another project that suits your fancy.
In terms of bad advice buy clapped out viper and make into a rally car and be that guy with the rally viper.
As a guy who just bought a fiat x1/9 - don't sell the MR2.
The outside option however, that I also told singleslammer you guys should do, is to sell the MR2 and use the proceeds to make a first batch of BRZ rally suspension components for sale. If you're going into business selling BRZ parts, you might as well have 2 test mules.
I can see this two different ways. If you want to capitalize on the current market, go ahead and sell the BRZ. You don't need it, and it probably has the most volatile price swings as the economy changes. When the market settles down, take another look at getting out of the Outback and into a WRX.
Alternatively, I sort of view the MR2 as a motorcycle with a couple convenience trade-offs, so for me it doesn't really have a place. You could sell it and the Outback to consolidate into a WRX or something else.
