Now I'm that guy... I'm not selling the 914s, but my 2nd little one (William, now 8 months old) is going to be ready to face forward in the car seat at some point (within a year), and he'll likely be joining Lily (now 3) and I on trips to Cars & Coffee and runs up Palomar/etc. And then Mom is more likely to come too. Super Truck™ (CrewMax Tundra) is a great truck and amazingly convenient, but not so much *fun*.

Some ideas I've had...

BMW 2002
VW Golf/GTI (MK 1 or 2)
BMW 3.0cs
MB 6.9
356 (back seats are probably too small)

Any suggestions? I'm open to anything at the moment. Maybe even a big old American car... ?
