Have had my E46 M3 for about a year and a half, and it's obviously a great car; I can thank it for getting me addicted to the brand and to HPDE's for most of last year. But, having had the car as a daily driver and put 21K miles on it in 18 months, I'm more than ready to try something else.

I'm leaning heavily towards saving some money and getting a tinker-car (which the E46 M3 definitely is not!) I'm thinking of starting with an E30 and putting some basic track/sport mods into it. I've driven/been-driven-in quite a few E30s, ranging from basic street cars to Ken's race car. I really like the car. And no, rgal, I just can't seem to point myself towards a Miata. I know, my loss.

Thinking seriously about doing this now... anyone want to tell me I'm nuts?
