What should I do about a car?

What should I do about a car?
After a 3 year wait from a DWI w/ no traffic violations, my insurance and driving record finally goes back to normal in August when I renew. I'd love to buy a newer truck like a Chevy SS silverado. But then I also just thought about getting a small 4k loan or so for a CRX w/ a B16 or a GSR Teg. I'm just wanting something reliable as hell, and reasonably priced. I know I will have to have full coverage on whatever I get if I get a loan, or financing. What do you guys think I should do? I'm missing a "fun" car, and my 88' Chevy truck is on it's last ticks (327k miles and brakes are shot). I have a company truck so I dont need a truck. But between the CRX and Teg, dollar for dollar what rout would you go?

Re: What should I do about a car?
I have them both and they definitely have a different feel... The teg hasn't been running yet, but I've rode in one before, and pretended to drive mine
The crx is more "fun" in my opinion since it feels like a little gocart. It's definitely got some hooptie characteristics since it's so old and tiny, but they can be decent cars. Teg is newer and feels a lot safer to drive in, and their price is about the same :P
