Get a DA gsr....it'll be paid for and have enough ass to get out its own way stock.
no but seriously, you want to save money for getting married and buying a house....getting a 10k car isnt the right idea.
Get something thats cheap and paid for. You can purchase a nice car for 5k, thats mildly quick.

i dont mean to flame your thread joe,but that turbo integra you raced,didnt have an SC61..he had a very small trim T3 turbo,that had quick spool up,giving him a slight edge on Highway runs,and stoplight to stoplight races..so your T/A was more than enough to keep up/beat that car...not saying it was slow..but a T3 tends to run out of steam up top in the Powerband.
do you want a little power,and more sport? do you want a little sport with more power? you want old or new? FI or N/A? RWD or FWD? you have to decide those categories first before you throw car ideas out there..its all in what you would rather prefer.

Re: I'd like some serious opinions.
Joe, Well being that you want to keep it around 10K that is going to limit you to a lot of nice cars as you know. From what I've seen you have very good taste with cars and I know you arent going to buy something stupid... like a volvo. But here are a few car that came to mind with me being around 10K
MR2 - maybe not enough room
DSM - Well, we all know how reliable they can be
SC300- Nice car, as we all know the potential of them styling and power wise
GMC Cyclone/Typhoon - Then we rejoin the issue with reliability
Audi S4/A4 - I like the styling of them, not sure on their gas mileage.
Subaru Impreza - Older body style, not turbo AWD. Turbo98 used to havea red one that from the pictures I have seen were very nice. Also back in the day the guy who used to have the silver one with NOTAWRX on his plates.
Hondas - I dont know how much of a fan you are of Hondas, but you just sold the hatch, do you really want to jump into another honda? If so, there is a white type R for sale on RT.17
SRT4 Neon - I dont know why im mentioning this... I have a feeling you wouldnt want the whole... "you drive a neon" talk going on.

Thanks again guys for the input. And I have been thinking about a 99ish Impreza...always loved those.
