I clicked 914/6 but my vote came out 911 - I don't know. If you can find a real 914/6 in restorable condition for $15k, that is where I would put my money.

what year M5 are you looking at for 15k? because I gotta tell you... an M5 is an amazing car... hell, even a 540... a coworker has a 540 with the sport pkg, and for a big car, it feels nimble, sporty and comfortable all at the same time... just a great car. one clutch in 125k miles... no issues.

i'm thinking Boxster, so this is an "other". The boxster is comfortable, quick, handles well and is a Porsche.....

As a daily driver I'd go with a manual Audi S4. V8 power, all wheel drive, not as common as the BMW.

There may be a problem with Rich driving an ice cream truck. I think there are laws against such.

I voted M5 - but I really think the M3 is better with closer handling & power-to-weight of a 914-6, but with the cush of a DD cruiser without the extra size of the 5 series!
.... unless you need more room in that DD for other folks carted around! Of course, my DD is a 1st year 6 in a 3-series, 85 325e - which I got new since I didn't have time to find a nice 2.8 or 3.0 CS/CSi - so I got it new hoping it would be the next 2.8/3.0 CS/CSi ....... still waiting! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... but love the car even if later 3's have more scoot! |

I voted 914/6. It would be a fun summer DD.
I have a '88 M5 for a DD in Seattle. Eddie |
