Nice. Nice and clean. Do you have a JDM Eunos or just the badge?

The red "Miata Mazda MX-5" badges on the rear of black NA (1990-1997) Miatas.
Lamborghini's design department hard at work.
I was at the dealer today picking-up some parts for my Miata. I was taking a look at a Mazda 2 out in the lot (thinking daily-driver at some point in the near future). The saleswoman came-out and started to talk to me about the car. I told her "really, all things considered, it's like a modern-day interpretation of…
It's a flying car AND it's a time machine. Boo-yah.
The most interesting man in the world is not actually a national of any country.
Just had to look that up at http://www.xenonz31.com/shiro.html
My dream would be to take a 1929 Pierce-Arrow (above) with a heavy patina, leave it how it looks, then put-in a 29-liter, 9-cylinder rotary engine (R-1820-97) from the B-17 Flying Fortress (below). That's good for 1,200 horsepower.
Oh, reallllyyy? You might be interested in what I just bought:
That Soyuz Thruster Engine looks like the world's most expensive master cylinder.
The Ferrari 458 is not a supercar. It's a sports car. I dislike the largely meaningless term "supercar." There are cars which are intended to be appliances, and there are cars that are intended to be enjoyed. That is all.
GM B-body, for sure.
Epsilon II platform with 2.4L ECOTEC. I know this platform has been modified for AWD applications, so I can imagine it should be even cheaper/easier to make it RWD (I'm no engineer, but that's my best guess). Use the six-speed manual from the Regal Turbo. LSD should be standard as well.
I knew a guy whose brother worked on the Noble M600. I wish I would have asked him more about it when I had the chance. Bummer...
I'm not sure that the comparison with an S2000 is all that fair, since it was considerable up-market from the BRZ. Having said that, I love the S2000. Neither the RX-8 or the S2000 are still in production, which means you're left with a decision between a used RX-8 (which is cheap but scary as hell) or an S2000 (try…
You're telling me that someone has been manufacturing a V8-powered, rear-wheel drive, body-on frame van that I did not know about!?!? How did this one slip pass me?!
There are plenty of nice cars which are not expensive. I'd hardly call an Infiniti a "nice car" IMHO. All it means to me is that you bought a more expensive Nissan (which is a real, non-made-up brand).
If I lived in the country, I would just nab it and let it sit in my lawn. I would get up every morning at 5:00 a.m., pour a cup of coffee, and sit in front of the thing and look at it for at least 15 minutes.
You have got to be kidding me! Most of the E30s I see around here are 318 4-cylinders, so nothing worth writing home about anyways (unless you're a certain Ginger who needs cheap, $500 BMWs to be awesome with...)
