It's been two and a half years since I last played in the cones, and I'm starting to miss it dearly. I've got my third gen Camaro, but it needs a complete refresh, and I've got a big ole line of house projects that need to be done before I can even think to start working on it.
So, the tentative plan is to replace my TrailBlazer with a "regular" car.
The priorities here are this:
1.) Four doors (five passenger)
2.) Midsize or larger.
3.) No bench seat.
4.) Be very reliable and easy to repair.
5.) Little to no modifications.
6.) Be between 10 and 15 years old.
Right now the candidates are cars like the Camry, Accord, Mazda6, Altima, etc.
I literally want to do nothing besides maintenance to the car, I'm not changing seats, I'm not upgrading sway bars or swapping engines. I don't even plan on buying sticky tires. I want to take what most people would consider a boring daily driver, and take it to the races. I know I won't win, I know I won't be competitive, and I don't care. I just want to get back in there.
P71s have E36 M3ty seats, most European cars are expensive to maintain, and I'd rather not spend my time picking through trying to find a manual transmission Maxima, there rare as hen's teeth and the wife cannot drive stick anyway.
So yeah, I guess I'll be the guy racing a 4 cylinder Camry on all seasons.
What do you suggest?
