I wonder how much this cost compared to a last generation Mercury Capri, which didn’t look too dissimilar?

If you are going to let a BMW bankrupt you when it breaks, it should at least be a pretty BMW. Find a 850i.

I like it. I grew up in a family with Internationals.

Not sure of the situation on the east coast, but in eastern Washington that kind of money will get you a pretty nice CB750 that won’t have cops chasing you for noise complaints. 

I was last in Japan around 2001 during my time in the Marine Corps. At least in cities with bases nearby there were places very much off limits for foreigners. Being a 21 year old grunt with a never ending thirst, most of the places I found were bars. I never pressed the issue, as usually the door was watched by a guy…

Anyone buying a GT-R in anything other than Midnight Purple Metallic is clearly fucking up. 

Two words.

In case nobody has seen it the conclusion of each show is no car, no matter the price, or power is faster than Tsuchiya in a AE86.

The dealership where I got my FR-S had a nice clean naturally aspirated MKIV that had one of those fake scoops on it. 

I’m a fan of the C4, probably because I’m right in their wheelhouse age wise, I’m old enough to remember Face driving one on the A Team. I don’t know that I’d want a convertible though. The car museum In Reno had a beautiful ZR-1 they were raffling about a year ago. 

Those are sweet cars, but what kind of a nightmare is it to find parts for a turbo Pontiac 301 V8?

In high school I had a 78 Cougar XR-7 that I got off my aunt (original owner) for $3,500, this was in 1998. It had 62,000 miles on it’s 351W and after an afternoon of buffer work it looked showroom new. 70's V8 rear wheel drive cars get shit on, but I don’t think I’ve been in anything since that was as comfortable to…

If you settle for someone who is with you based on what you drive you deserve what you get. But my fiancé has had to come to terms with the fact that my FJ62 Land Cruiser and I are a package deal, lol. 

I agree with the early 80 series Land Cruiser suggestion. The 3FE they have keeps their prices out of the FZJ Cruiser stratosphere, but you still have a fuel injected motor capable of a half million miles or more, and the FJ80 Cruisers aren’t quite as luxury oriented as the later FJZ80 Cruisers. Should you get bit by…

That was one of my favorite toys as a young kid!

My 4th grade teacher bought one brand new, she got a picture with the entire class packed in like sardines. Seeing one in the wild always brings back fond memories. 

Here’s mine.

This isn’t salting your steak before tasting it, it is putting proven components into a competition oriented machine. Who in top level professional drifting is running BMW mills? Why do you suppose they aren’t? There is a vast chasm between a street motor, and a competition motor.

I have a TDi Jetta Sportwagon and it does just fine. It passes at highway speeds with no problem and pulls from a stop just fine. The big selling points were that it has as much room as the 4Runner it replaced while averaging 40mpg. Sure, it’s not a sports car, but I have a different car for that sort of thing. I…
