PennSilverTaco's non-Toyota Japanese (and Korean) vehicle Rant/Rave MegaThread!

This place is toxic! Can’t you school girls stop pulling each others hair?

 

My memory of 90's cars are not good. Not as bad as the 80's. But still, not good.

 

My 92 Thunderbird SC seemed killer awesome in the mid 90’s

That Stealth would look good with some larger modern wheels

 

I thought we were being sarcastic and joking around...? I'm the one who's historically had a problem with people messing with me on TW, but I've sorta worked through the Aspergers-related social issues and am trying to be like the rest of my TW brethren

 

I dunno; I kinda like the color-keyed wheels...

I actually built a near-perfect replica of this car in GTA San Andreas back in like 2005, minus the wheels since I couldn't paint the wheels

You probably recall my previous mention of my 1995 Pontiac Bonneville SLE. Green with bronze wheels; I loved that car. I was still living in the Bronx & the first time I had to climb 1200' of hills to my new house in the CT winter it was obvious that FWD wasn't going to cut it. Had I known I would've bought a house closer to sea level.

 

Don't change Charlie.... some of us may get upset at times, but your are kind of what TW is all about.

 

lowkey....pretty tight haha love the nostalgic 90's

 

But it's definitely not "stealth" in that color.

 

I think you might be mistaken about them being the same. Especially the twin turbo awd 3000gt. That’s actually a pretty impressive car to drive. The eagle talon and the stealth are pretty much the same though.

 

My first new car. 1977 Buick Skyhawk, 3.8L (105 hp), 5 speed, <2900 lbs. It was quicker than it looked and very nimble. No pics exist of my actual car, this is from the Net. It was a fun ride.

 

My first car and my first brand new car...

 

What is the make and model of your first car?

I recognize it but can't recall make & model.......

 

It was a 1971 ford mustang coupe, white vynil top/ body paint smurf blue with a 351 cleavland v8 that was bored to a 402. Thing was a beast until my dad got t-boned by a 1970's Cadillac when he locked up the brakes and slid sideways. Bent the frame on it, mom sold it to the scrap yard for 350$
The engine was worth 3500$ at the time.

 

So.....I guess Mom hated that car and was anxious for it to be gone.

I'm more familiar with the Mustang body style from the earlier versions.

My GF had a POS Mustang II. Her dad wouldn't work on it, I stupidly volunteered...... I wasn't too bright in those years. Although, during a tune-up on that POS, I discovered the previous "mechanic" installed the distributor 90*out. Had a He77 time sorting it out. So to be a devil, (gf and I were on the rocks), I shifted everything another 90* out, it was 180* off.

 

Not that she hated it, just didn't understand its value.

 

We should return Charlie's thread..........

Thanks for the memory walk.

 

From the 90s, I’d go for a Japanese car. In order of how much I’d like to own:

Acura nsx



Nissan Z



Mitsubishi GT

 

When I think 90’s I think 94’ Camaro Z28.
