whats on my mind

I’m going though my car mode again.  By that, I mean I’m constantly looking at cars, and thinking about if I were to buy one which would it be?  With that I’m also back into my VW GTI stage again, where I really want one.  Yet part of me doesn’t want to give up having all wheel drive.  Enter the VW R32, this car is amazing, its the GTI with a 3.2 Liter VR6 and the Audi Quattro all wheel drive.  How could you go wrong?  I don’t think you could… but the kicker is its not a cheap car :(   They only made them in ‘04 and ‘05 and I’m seeing ’04’s for around 26k+  Which is still way out of my price range.  I could go for an Audi A4 and get close to the same car… but it still wouldn’t be the same, as they are not hatch backs.  Tho I do like the wagon A4.  I’m just kinda torn.  As a ‘02 - ‘03 GTI VR6 is in my price range but doesn’t have the all wheel drive.  Or I do like the WRX as well.  Couldn’t afford the STi, but I can probably find a sup’d up WRX that would be close to the STi performance wise in the same price range.  But again, no hatchback, and the wagon version is also appealing (given a certain amount of aftermarket parts).  However then I would also have to get used to the feeling I have when sitting in a WRX.  Don’t get me wrong I love them, however I feel like a little kid when I sit in them… and not in a good way… There is alot of head room in a WRX, and since I’m not that tall, it makes me feel even shorter.  But perhaps I’ve just grown accustomed to tighter fitting cars with my first car a ‘91 Maxima, and my current car the ‘98 Civic.   I don’t get the same feeling when I sit in an Evo or GTI, so that makes me resist wanting to just “get used to it”.
Not sure what I’ll do just yet, and I am probably going to wait until Elissa graduates from school anyway before I make any changes to the current status quo.
