Is a Terminator a good choice for what I'm looking for?

[QUOTE="xxForgedxx, post: 6773545, member: 72445"] I am trying to volunteer for Iraq, and with hopes of getting there soon and all being well when I get back I will have enough cash in hand to buy whatever I have been looking at for a car. I appreciate all kinds of different cars, hence why I have considered the following ones. EVO, E46 M3, C5 FRC/zO6, Terminator. I will be paying for the car in cash, and I am looking to spend a total of $25,000 after all tax, registration bla bla bla after I get home 12-15 months from now. Some things to factor in are, MPG and insurance costs. But unless they are outrageously different I doubt it will stop me from buying one car or the other. I like the EVO because it does everything very well, I also hate the EVO for the sex appeal and "Oh damnnn" factor it is lacking. It blows in the "wow this is really nice" area but hell it's nice having ONE car you can play with in any weather right? It is a car you make excuses for in regards to practicality. Then there is the M3, now I know it's only a 13 second car but wow. I love these damn things. They are nice when you don't feel the need to tear ass, and they are nice when you want to tear ass. Kind of like a woman you'd marry. A lady on the street but a freak in the sheets. This car is on the TOP of my list for sure. I only fear that I will wish I had more freak in the sheets when I get my ass whopped on a highway pull and there isn't anything I can do about it unless I want to dump $10-12,000 into it for forced induction :fm: The C5 FRC is a nice car but really dated in different ways.
