If I were to get a car, suitable as a daily driver... I'd probably just replace my '92 Camaro. Nice looks, nice power even in the v6, nicer fuel efficiency due to being a v6, really comfy, and despite reputation and how the original came to greif, as good as any rear-wheel-drive in snow and ice, and better than most pickups. I have a story about that, actually - it starts with a sharp corner, a blizzard, and pickup trucks just barely in sight a car length and a half or so in front and behind, rolling at about 20mph. It ends with the trucks in reversed order half-buried in the snowbank while I didn't so much as slip. Later that drive I went up a quarter mile of steep hill at 40+ degrees to the direction of travel with the front heels cranked all the way over and the rears spinning but still pushing, and the guy in the Land Rover behind me dropping his jaw into the footwell, though he had to give me a ride when it turned out the next town along hadn't been plowing and the road was deep enough that it built a drift higher than the hood when I attempted to shove forward anyway. Amelia was an awesome car, and if not for a hidden ice patch on a corner at the crest of a hill I have no doubt I'd still have it, rather than the two junkyard specials that have rusted apart around me since.
