Default Save for boost or buy daily driver???

I've been wanting to buy a second car for awhile now to keep my stang out of the snow and keep the mileage low, but I also want to buy a turbo setup. I won't be buying FI until springand I just came across a really good deal on a nice car. If I buy this car I probably won't be doing any kind of modding to my stang for over a year. What would you do?

That's a tough call. If you are a student like me, I couldn't bring my car where I go to school, and saving for a daily driver might be best if that's your case. I too want a turbo set up, so I know how tough the decision is.

I just bought another car to be my DD... the BEST thing I could've done... My baby sits in the driveway covered up NOT collecting worthless miles. I plan on putting no more than 5k on it this year TOPS... with a DD you can put 20k on it EASILY.

I'll go forged internals and FI in the future...and when I do... I won't have to drive it EVERY DAY...lol.

Turn tricks then you can get both hahah all kidding aside I would say it depends on your winter. If you get a lot of snow go for the daily driver. If not get the turbo. I drive my stang in the winter and it is fine in the snow if you drive with common sense, but I would love a beater just to keep the sault off it.
