Got a few decisions to make in my life now, What shall I do?

There's two shops that are considering taking me in; both have a good pedigree. One of them is a few blocks away, while another is a highway commute. The farther shop is also a bodyshop. which is your pick? (the detailer I'm working at on weekends is not giving me enough hours)

I'm also considering a project, already. I saw an old GD non-turbo Mazda MX-6 up for sale that needs a reasonable amount of bodywork and repair, but has been a very reliable daily to the previous owner. I take that car, and make it an autocross killer. Or...

Just get a car in better shape to daily, of around the same age. maybe a Toyota Celica/Supra or any other similar car, I'm open to suggestions for something reliable enough to be a daily, yet be sporty enough for a toy, as I don't have space for both right now, and having both is not a good option right now.

I'd say a Supra and commute option B. Because highway.

I say go for the closer one, you'll thank yourself in the long run. The one thing my dad hates about his job most is his awful commute.

What would you be doing? Detailing? if so, the body shop could potentially provide a constant stream of work between repairs and straight detail clients.

I'm not sure yet, as the detailer has a bit of a toxic environment between my co-workers. Talking trash about people who got fired.

Maybe not so much in the snow, too much sideways action.

There is no such thing as too much sideways action.

too much sideways action? Does that even exist? Just put snow tyres on and a big stone brick into the boot and go as sideways as you can...

Maybe around a corner, but not when you're in traffic, trying to avoid a collision.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ These guys know what's up. Shorter commutes get you home sooner.
