I think it was Gridlife who had “Fit Cup.” There is a K swapped Fit in WA tearing around a couple tracks. I found a couple decent manuals with less than 100k miles for 6k or less.

That’s why I threw it out there. I figured there would be some suggestions I hadn’t thought of.

Honda Fits/Jazz are an absolute Tardis. The way the seats can be moved/adjusted is just nuts.

I'm just throwing that out there, not a recommendation or not recommendation.

I thought the cornering ability of Mum's 1.3 Yaris was way above its pay grade.

Toyota Sera? Might be even slower than a Yaris (LOL), but would be a head turner.

I’d love to have a Delica but a decent running 4x4 is at least 12k in my area.

I’m not too worried about weather since I can always take my truck in bad weather. Right now I am primarily staying on the I5 corridor. As far south as Medford or as far north as Kent. I do have to possibly head out to the coast or Bend every now and then but those haven’t popped up for me yet.

It also sounds like I may be looking at a BRZ this weekend.
