Update on my car search: I have started to consider certain sport sedans, namely a 2008-2014 generation Subaru WRX STI. I came very close to getting an STI in college and due to some unforeseen circumstances, I wasn’t able to. This would nice, closing that loop on an emotional level. The TT RS is still my number one choice, but due to its rarity and this crazy market, the prices just may too much at the moment.
