good point. Right now I'm leaning towards getting another tuner-ish car that I can commute in. And no I'm not getting a 350z. I don't care about drifting or care to wear a flat billed hat with an affliction shirt.

buying another car also means you'd incur all the extra costs of owning another vehicle, like insurance, maintenance, and others

Having 2 cars is way better than one. I can drive my M3 knowing that if I really screw it up that I have another car to get me to work on Monday. That comes in handy when you're dealing with pesky Porsche's on track and want to take the fight to them.

I'm toying with the idea of building another e36 or a 240 as a drift car eventually.

Thats true but a 240 doesn't cost squat. Biggest problem would really just be storage most likely... depending on OP's situation.

I vote to build a nice 450 rwhp LSX 240sx.

Get a 240 with an sr20. You'll have fun with it and it'll be cheap.

Don't waste your money. Power is meaningless in the modern world. Work on the cornering aspects of your car. No power and lots of grip = flat out

More votes for Hookers & Coke than the 240? Interesting...

I'm just assuming, but I don't think he's concerned with cornering for his DD.
