so, i'm looking to get a reliable daily driver.

i'm undecided if i should go small and efficient or get a truck and eventually a trailer for the 914.

right now, the 914 is still streetlegal and can get itself to the track. but that might change at some point.
on the other hand, i don't really need anything huge for most of my daily driving, so a smaller, more efficient car seems like a good choice as well ...

HELP! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


btw. i don't really want to buy brand new.
currently, my budget for this is about ~$300 per month.

how much car will that buy me?
