Alright, here's the deal, I keep going back and forth about what kind of car I want one day. I was it to be nice and at least semi luxurious, AWD, sleeper or sleeper-esc, and be capable of tons of hp. I've thought about getting a ae86 and making it nice and turboing it to make it fast, but I think I want more luxury and AWD. I've been thinking about getting an A4 and twin turboing it lately. I'd be willing to stand RWD, as long as I move south. I'm debating moving to Europe so I can have more choices. And yes, I'm serious. So, what do you all think?

EDIT: I'm no expert, so something I can get help with, and build step by step would be nice. I really don't want to just take something to a shop and have everything done. The intire point of this is to build a fast car, owning and being able to drive it is just a by product.

uhhhh, he said 92-x for a reason
you said luxury
the 92-x is slower than the wrx i'm guessing due to weight w/ all the fancy gismos it has.


I don't really need luxury, I just want the car to look nice and classy. As long as it's got a fair amount of things, like power windows and what not. I've driven some pretty crappy cars in my day, so it doesn't take much for me to call something luxury. My girlfriend and I were talking the other night, and we're both kind of afraid to get cars that are really flashy. Everyone knows when you see a nice car, you think, "rich jerk." We don't want people hating us just because we've got nice cars. But at the same time we don't want to look embarrased at work around other doctors because we drive not so nice cars. And, if we've got the money, why not enjoy it and have something fun to drive? I'll probably just the the Saab. That's the plan as of now. It'll be nice for me getting started, and once my bills are payed, I'll have a nice platform to build on.
