I really do not see how you could do this for fiscal reasons. STI's in the realm of 30K in terms of price? You could of got a TT for 10K and a beater like a 1990 CRX or Sentra for 1K. Or an old school 4WD pickup truck if you are worried about the snow. In the end you paid more money for 1 ugly car and instead you could of had 2 cars for like 15K with a lot of extra spare money. That doesn't make much "fiscal sense".
