We've got the 2dr E30. It's a nice car.

Get a car. You've already got a truck. The BMW would be a cool one--not many E30's running around these days. But it might cost you a little in the maintenance dept. The Fox body GT's will yield shitty gas mileage because your foot will be stuck in it. But they are actually decently reliable. If you want a DD, then consider a 4-cylinder car. IMO, a 2-door. Like a Celica, Civic, Accord, MR2, MX-6, Integra, etc. They are all reliable and fuel efficient.

I would say with gas prices out of this world, a Geo Metro would be a good choice. 40-50MPG! $1-2k depending on condition and that will pay for itself in a year or two with gas savings compared to a more attractive and powerful alternative.
I have been looking at them and strongly considering picking one up, if I can find one that runs good and has AC.
99 C5 cam/boltons 400rwhp
10 Sierra CC 6.2
03 Suburban 5.3
You could get one of those Hondas the get 50+ MPG. Less gas burned means more money for mods. I don't see how buying a better fuel mileage vehicle helps much unless you drive about 500 miles a week. Total up how much it costs to buy, maintain and insure the 2nd vehicle and see how much you're actually losing in the long run.

well i dont drive much, but i dont want to keep putting miles on my truck. Plus the only way lll be able to put it together is part by part so this would leave me down a car. plus i want one of those vehicles anyway, i jsut cant really decide which one
