Default just got car crash money, what do i spend it on ??

about a year ago i was in a car crash ( not my fault )
i have just been paid out for whip lash
what should i spend the money on .
i've got a mint good spec 4x4 saff
here are my idea's
quaife gear box and more power
sell cossie and get
1 mint 3door
2 esc cossie
3 m3
4 m5
5 evo5-6
6 subaru
7 bmw 330 td ( not sure )
i will have aroung 10k if i was to sell my saff and add the money to it
cant think of anything else that floats my boat
so i thought i'd let you lot give me a hand
i not that bothered about using the car every day , i dont mind just having it sat in the garage to polish ( i must get out more )

Either do yours to how you want it or get a 3dr...



Only choices in my mind.





























Unless your feeling generous and want to see your friends right

You wont get an M3(E46) for that and I wouldnt spend 10k on an E36
You wont get a good E39 M5 for 10k
You wont get a good Escos for 10k
Have you got further money to maintain an Evo?
Maybe a P1 Impreza
Dunno if I would sink a 5k lumper into my saff,maybe over a few yrs but not in one lumper
And the 330 isnt the same type of car as any of the above

So if you like 3drs then yeah why not,but I do love them P1`s

Default choice

As first respondant stated I would put that money into your/a property and just keep your cossie,

I was looking over the auto trader via the net today and lot of the cars you have on your list are dropping like stones, cars loose you too much money, property will earn you money

Your call at the end of the day, I love the motors too but at the end of the day you just loose money on all these cars,

fook I must be getting old I sound like my Mum

thanks for the help guy's
just been on the auto trader yep most of them are not quite in the 10k price rang
not sure about a p1 , not thought of them , you can get a new ish wrx sti for that money ?
dont think i'll do the diesel thing as i have a car for work
as for keeping an evo on the road it cant be as bad as a cossie can it ??
so looks like i'm down to 2 cars
my saff and a 3 door
i'm fortunate as the house i've got does not need any work
just had a nice carpet fitted , thanks tib
not bothered about how much i sink into my car mr brennan , i've lost fortunes in them over the past so why stop now
