My friend has been looking for the one for years. He is obsessed over them. To me you can find better for the money but the awd is a bonus. My friend had a built one that I liked but to mod them isn't the cheapest out there. Don't just jump on a car because its there, sit and think about the overall picture.

Lurking for the free entertainment. I say just wait till you graduate and have a good paying job. Then you can buy the one you really want. I agree with chad. I think your settling for somethin less. If it is right you will buy it with no hesitation. My bike and truck were that way. No second guessing. No asking others opinions.
Truthfully haven't upgraded into such myself because the extra 10k money wise just isn't there in the fun factor for me, so I can't justify it. Yeah, AWD, but parts are twice as much, labor is more intensive, and truthfully won't outperform what I have without dumping even more into it after the initial price.
I caught myself on evom the other night, had to close the window out looking at gorgeous well modified Evo's, I wish something new would come out and grab me, I really enjoyed the BRZ/FRS platform, I know they handle great, just the power level and pricing......for the pricing I could find a clean C5 Z06, and even a base used C6. Tough deal car shopping right now for myself so I understand the pain!

Ya it's like when I first started dating my gf. I have this perfect image of the car I want and the price, but sometimes u have to realize **** don't work out.
Guy offered to meet me in Pensilvania if I'm interested. I'll see I have to think.
I want to thank u guys for all your input. One thing was reached, I WON'T BUY REBUILT TITLES FOR $24,000, thanks for that long hour convo chad, Kevin and Floyd.
BTW Paul pretty sure you have dedicated snow tires, my SS went through the snow nicely with them, I was making a 60 mile round trip work commute and never missed a day, did a ton of plowing at 6am-
