I have an Acura TSX, but currently looking for a cheap truck with 4wd for a few reasons.........if my Vette breaks down at the track or something I can tow it home myself. If for some reason there is a lot of deep snow I can 4wd around and still make it to the liquor store. Finally then it would clear out a precious spot in the garage, because then I can sell the TSX and get a 2nd fun car like a c7 z06! Trying to find like an 04-09 F150 or something.

Our winters are usually pretty mild. So the Vette remains my daily driver. There's an Escalade for any days that it really gets slippery.

I keep thinking a 328xi stick would be a fun daily. How much of a maintenance nightmare has your car been?
I have a 92 corvette, a v8 colorado, and a 05 mini cooper s for winter duty.

I have a friend with a 335xi 6speed. It would be similar to the 328xi. He says its a lot of fun, but the maintenance has been a PITA. Nothing big has gone for him, but all the little nickel and dime stuff adds up. He's actually looking to sell now. He wants way too much money for it. It seems like a fun car though when its running right!
