I have a few options here:

A) I try to bone rides from friends for 8 months until I have the money for a 3rd gen GSR.

B) I buy a POS now to hold me over, having to pay gas and insurance adding to the time it takes for a GSR.

C) I use all of my money and buy a G2 LS with about 150K on it and do one or more of the following:
1. Beef up low end during rebuild and then turbo it.
2. Swap out engine for a newer GSR engine and turbo it later.
3. Makes $5K then sell this car for $2K after I add 15K to it.

I currently have about $2500, and it will take 8 months if I save every penny I make to buy a G3 GSR. I'm working on fidning a new job with more pay/hours, so the 8 months could be decreased to about 5-6. I REALLY want a GSR, but I also REALLY want a car that runs. If I save for the GSR I feel like I will have a decent platform to build up on, but if I buy an older car (2nd gen LS) I feel like all of my money is going to waste because the car will eventually breakdown. What do you guys think I should do?
