This is going to sound crazy.. but I'd sell the Teg and the RAM to buy one vehicle that can do both the corner carving and load hauling.. like the Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT [wagon]
More interior space than the WRX.. detuned EJ25 for a more flexible powerband.
Or if you want the WRX, I'd hop on the GM employee discount and buy a Saab 9-2x Aero. Probably get out the door for about $18K.
Thats not a bad idea..I would also look at a matrix or something cause there are prob enough out there to get something used
