Yeah, having a bad day, sorry Rodney.  I agree completely and  apologize to 
you and the list if I was a bit over the top there.   Sigh.  
Since we're on the topic, what do you think about these as  possibilities?
Z32 300 ZX

If you thought the E36 M3 was a pig...

SC300 

Very popular with a Supra turbo motor swap.  Find one with a five  speed and 
you will love it once it once it's turbocharged.  No probelms all  day long.

911SC

I love these cars.  Same insane nuances as owning an F car.

944 turbo (951)

Some of my best memories getting pulled over in this car.  It's a  classic 
and I think a really great bargain.  I don't care what some of the  hard core 
911 guys say.

944S2

Again, I just love the 944/951 chassis.

for dependability, fun, (relative) low maintenance/service/parts cost,  and 
of course, the most important, probably, the GRIN  factor?

 
I hate to say it but the "Toyota" factor always measures in.  The SC  with a 
Supra swap it just dead reliable.  Also the Porsche when you stay  ahead of 
the maintenance but that too can be $$$.  I really don't care for  Nissans.  
Great cars but I really have liked any of their cars since the  last rear drive 
Maxima.  Everything you could do to a 280ZX motor could be  done to a station 
wagon maxima... and we did it to my Aunt's '84 wagon.   Can you say fun?!?!??!  
We use to drag race for money with it...   LOL  That's a post for later...
 
Seems like you need four seats though from your choices even if the rear  two 
are tiny.  Hmmm... modified SC300 but that could break your  budget.

Thanks again, and sorry for that, dude.

Just eat some of that turkey and go into a food coma.  I don't take  anything 
from this list seriously anyway.  You people drive Ferrari's  for goodness 
sake!  (it's a joke people)

Best,
Tom
P.S.  And still thinking about Dave's Mondial coupe, but I'd have to  get 
another job...or ditch the wife...(tongue in  cheek)

Rodney
PS.  If you ditch the wife, you won't be able to afford a  Yugo...  get 
another job.
