I want a roadster, but also something that I can wrench on without putting me in the poorhouse, so it's looking like a MX-5 / Miata for me.
I want to get the APR Stage 1 03 Octane program for my Passat 2.0T but I am too cheap and don't want to mess with my commuter car. I would absolutely do it if I had a backup ride.
Wife is next in line for a car. Lots of snow in North Central Ohio winters, and she is short and has the gotta be up high to see syndrome, so probably a forester. She has a '97 S-10 now, but now that we have a kid that is no good. We'll keep the S-10, though, as it spent most of its life in AZ, CA, and TX. Also, she requires an automatic

although she can drive a stick. She just hates looking bad in front of others so she refuses to practice. I'd give her hell about it if I was perfect, but that is not the case.
My next commuter will likely be a GTI.
