    The last one rusted out about 35 years ago within a 200 mile radius of you.

    They're even rusty here.

    Too many trucks and mods to list.. check builds
    1977 celica liftback is another dream car.



    and i know of 3 near me that are solid. but the owner will never sell. he bought one new, bought 2 more used. doesnt even drive them... just starts them up and shuts them off.

    My buddy Jayson with the 2017 M3 Competition, 1990 E30, 1988 600hp 300zx, and the 1999 2500HD 6.0 just put a reservation on an imported RX7 FD. Should be stateside in a couple months

    I dunno where he's gonna put it. 1 of his vehicles is already resident at my house full time and his garage only fits one vehicle. Would you move the 80k sports car outside to put the old 28k Japanese sports car in? I told him we should build a huge tent city of carports in his large backyard

    personally... the beamer likely becoming worth nothing within 10 years vs the rx value going up? that German shit would be outside.

    I like em, ive got friends with the M3 and the m4... but i just could never see owning one. ever.

    Yeah I cant really either, they're too temporary as far as vehicles go. But its faster and handles better than an FD could ever hope to... And it looks better I think. The FD is cool but I never really thought much of the rotaries or the body style.

    i love how the rx7 looks. just like the 90s supra and the old GTRs. (i still dont know how i feel about the newer GTRs. i like em. but they look.. meh to me.. then again im weird)
    the beamers look great. cant argue that.
    I'm still hunting for a mr2. the V6 is sitting in a crate waiting for a MR2 to come along so it can get rebuilt and swapped in with a Scion tc 6 speed manual i recently acquired for $200

    the TC transmission is surprisingly stout. its proven to handle more than the manuals lotus uses in the Evoras. this ones from my buddies 2015 TC.. 32k miles.. he uh.. yea. buying back a wreak and then realizing you dont know how to fix extensive body work turns into part outs

    By the way, where the hell have you been?

    I know you take the whole social distancing seriously but internet-social-distancing?

    There's no computer virus that'll transmit to humans :luvya:

    Out state is opening back up, well the parts that aren't on curfew are at least... So that means adaptive riding lessons can begin again. So I got this derpy ol boy ready for his rider today.

    He'd just push it out of his mouth, no teeth to get hungup on. It's funny watching him trot, he will start with a normal face and end up like a dog during summer with his tongue flopping all over.
