Thinking about dropping my DD, a '97 Prizm, for a P71. Any suggestions? I can't believe how cheap I can get into a '05 or so! I want an E30, but just missed a great deal on a clean one, so I'm a bit discouraged. I don't like a lot of upkeep and maint. on my DD, so which way should I go? Very different cars, but I just want something with 4 doors that's fun to drive.........

i love mine more every day. closing in on two years of ownership.

I'm 32. Before this car, the longest I ever DD'd something was 9 months.

I've had 5 e30's too. They're awesome, but the newest ones have been driven around for twenty years now.

So you finished the 5.4 swap and didn't tell us about it?

I've had mine over 2 years and 25,000 miles. I still smile when I drive it. Done track days, road trips, drag racing, autocross, and brought home a gokart with it (from Cali no less). It's the first car I've had (out of over 100) that I don't think I'll ever sell.

that feeling is reinforced by the car's relative lack of value
