96-98 1988 Ford Thunderbird (dubbed:thunder chicken) auto
98-04 1997 Honda Prelude sh manual
04-06 2004 Lexus IS300 manual

14-15 2004 Audi A6 Avant auto
15-18 2004 Mercedes E55 AMG auto
15-present 2002 Subaru WRX manual


My favorites were the MR2 and AMG. The AMG was too much car for me. It was a beast.

Dream car I can afford 2005 E55 AMG Estate. Less than 200 imported from 2004-2005. I almost got one in June but some put a deposit on Friday. My flight was for Tuesday the following week.

It's a short 2,100m circuit, simulating a forrest road, pretty demanding, and, certainly, NOT Porsche-land (powerful supercars need more room to stretch)
At 1minute 12 seconds it's 105km/h or 66miles per hour, average.

If this was in response to me, I wasn't questioning your 1.12 time -- I was asking for the next two digits, i.e. 1.12xx.

Had a Miata as my daily driver for 4 years. The driving experience is soooooo good.

15 years here, for my 1995 type "R" -- only 1550 total produced over three years, intended for competition with lsd and other goodies. With a Borland exhaust, removable hardtop, better seats and track-legal belts, and a Hard Dog Hard Core bar that fits under both tops, it's as much fun as you can have and still keep your driver's license.

In black, with a shortened shift lever and a "13" pool ball shift knob, it was perfect!

If the right front corner hadn't gotten crunched slightly, I'd still have it.

When my Alfa's lease runs out, it's pretty likely that it will be replaced by a Club Miata.

Fast cars go faster in a straight line. Fast drivers go faster through the twisty bits.

Old Miatas are like nice chips. You buy them, enjoy them, and sell them for pretty much the same as you bought them for.

I have a problem....

 

[Changster]

I love Porsches, actually I love all motor driven things with wheels, but Iwill always lust after Godzilla. what a bad ass car built almost exclusively to make people explode with joy with launch mode. Nice job dude. Sick photos and sick cars.

I used to do a lot of stupid sh*t with cars... no more.

It’s the Tesla Model X for me and my fam now.

In 2002 I got my first car which was a 1991 Eagle Talon. A few years later after the transmission gave up I had a 1995 Talon. After the head gasket blew I took over payments for my moms 2002 Mitsubishi Diamante. Tranny failed on that one too and got a 2010 Mitsubishi Ralliart

Bought it bone stock and turned it into this:

I had it shipped to Germany where I was stationed at the time and had the privilege of driving it on the autobahn, nurburgring nordschleife and hockenheimring. I was stupid to get rid of it in 2016 when I got back to the states with like 32k mi and only $4k left on payments.

Moved on to a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander sport which I'm currently driving but waiting to take delivery of a 2019 Subaru WRX STI (that I've already started buying parts for)

If this was in response to me, I wasn't questioning your 1.12 time -- I was asking for the next two digits, i.e. 1.12xx.

That particular stopwatch counted no hundredths of a second, and it showed 1.12.0, which theoretically might have been as high as 1.12.09

Just read the news about the 2020 Audi RS6 Avant...I might be right behind you in the sales thread Larry...it’s my dream wagon.

That makes 3 of us
I have the new version 50 TDI atm but can't wait to see the new RS IRL

Reviving this to post my new car (that I mentioned a few posts up). It was completely stock when I bought it and did all the work myself.

 

[SixSpeedFury]

Whyyy revive it? Just makes me want to reminisce about the Mustang I had that much more
