The first car I want to buy is a Scion TC with a 5 speed manual! Modify a little so I can rip it on the tōge a little, then I want to get my absolute dream car, an FRS/BRZ!! Then later down the line I want to own a RHD JDM car, don’t know which one yet tho!

What about you guys?!

Also the picture is a display of 86s and BRZs in Maryland!

    Loved my little Rover 25 with the 1.4 K series. Incredibly fun car and super underrated. Now I drive a high milage hero mk 1 Skoda Octavia with the venerable 1.8T remapped. It’s a barge and a little ropey, but it’s really funny how I can take even modern cars from light to light. I would like something with fewer doors though, maybe a Porsche boxter is up next. A step up from that would be a 993 or 996, but those are pretty pricey. With an unlimited budget I’d probably go for a GMA t.50 or t.33.

      Have you tried the Corolla XRS?! It has the same 2ZZGE engine from the lotus! Specifically look for the 05 or 06 models.

    I’ve always dug the Renault r5 turbo

    Apparently they’re making a new one but electric (so not actually turbo but whatever) which looks pretty bonkers

      I had a bike engined (Honda fireblade) locost 7 that’s very similar. Trick with any 7 is to keep the weight as low as possible and the red line as high as you can. Still miss it now but the track days got expensive
