Default New car? I need help deciding

Im going to buy another car to have with my R for going to work and school and stuff, since my new job is 25 miles away and the commute from home to school is a good 10 miles. I dont wanna do all the driving in the R so i wanna get a new BS car to drive for work and school, but i cant decide what i want to get. I need a car that will look good now (or with a new paint job), and that i can make my project car later (maybe this upcomming summer). I was at first going to get a del sol but i dont know those things seem dangerous and i dont really want a 2 seater. Then i was gonna get a 00' 328ci, but i dont know if i wanna spend that much on just a BS car. Then i was thinking about getting a old dsm but those things are on the boxy side... so i dont know... what do u guys things? Any suggestions welcome!!!

Oh btw... i am not driving a any kind of civic.....

Well, I am picking up a 91 CRX Si next week. Had an HF years back and for me in the snow with good tread it did wonders. I think the CRX makes a great project car and a strong Auto-X competitor. I know it's JUST a 2 seater but hey it's inexpensive, fun as hell to drive and fits the project side of it for me.

What about an older Integra? early 90's or even a nice 94 to 94 LS 4 DR? Older Civics are nice too as well as Accords.

Good luck, When I get my CRX I'll post you some PICS just to ponder. My limit to spend that I set was under $2000.

Just drive the ITR!
I turned 99K miles in mine this morning!

Nothing like VTEC in the morning to make going to work worthwhile.
