First time taking a high horsepower fwd car (my beloved RSX with turbo) to the drag strip and subsequently shattered both axles when I got a great launch and both slicks hooked up immediately. This broke other things as well and sent little pieces of half shaft and cv joint flying all over the place under the hood.…

The current state of my Datsun.

Pretty obviously from your post, you care.

Loads of people do. They form what most would describe as the “Practical Supercar” segment. We’re talking supercar performance, USD 150-200k, decent reliability, everyday usability and good (for a supercar) levels of refinement. I’d add the Turbo S, Mclaren 570S, Ferrari California, Mercedes AMG GT S and a whole bunch…

What? They’re pretty much direct competitors.

I feel like these are all Tavarish projects that went south.

Good to see that Excel experience gained from working at Porsche has paid off for you!

My reaction to seeing that the Morgan made the cut:

I don’t think it is possible to NP a $28,900 car that has sheepskin seat covers.

Because somehow walking into a store to “settle a dispute” with a Mac 10 and taking hostages would earn him a slap on the wrist?

How about something ridiculously classic like a Model T or something? Would that be too expensive? It surely wouldn’t depreciate.

How about a Miata? Put to rest all the claims, superstitions, and boasting that goes on here in Jalopnik land. You could take it offroading too!

Jetta VR6. A sorority girl’s car that sounds like Chewbacca gargling hammers.

I know it makes sense given the lack of muffler and all the talk but I didn’t truly believe reviews or reports until I heard one in person. Hype about movies let me down and I figured the same thing for this little beast. The only time I did see one I was at a light with my windows down when the distant BRAAAAAAP…

Hey man, ask the guys with the stanced Golfs. They love em.

And so, I believe I’ve discovered something about the Skyline that holds true about the E46 BMW M3, stanced Golfs, and countless other cars: owning the car is a lot of fun.
