    I hear ya on the bike. I had an '07 DRZ that I bought new as an S, converted it to an SM and put a little over 7k miles on it. Had Distanzia's just like your's seen in the pics. I really enjoyed owning it, doing some mods to it and man was it ever fun to ride in the canyons, but it had no where near the power that I wanted it to have, even with the full Yoshi exhaust, jetted carb and 3x3 mod. To get it to the point where I would be happy with the power output would have easily been $3 grand in motor work and was the reason I sold it. Was also just ready to move up to a bigger bike that I could and ride the freeway all day on, so I sold it. I am not regretting it as I love my Z1, but it was definitely a fun bike that I think about a lot.

    Also had a 1976 Datsun 280Z I got back when I was 14 that my Dad and I fixed all up for my first car. Put a new motor in it, painted it and everything. Was a fun a car and have many memories from it, but was ready to move on so I sold it and don't regret it as I wouldn't be owning my Tacoma right now if I hadn't.

    Drunk driver killed it :( I chose to part it out instead of fix it. Never seen a 95-96 240sx as clean since

    The worst part was I had JUST finished an auto-manual swap and had all but two parts for my turbo kit :mad:

    This pic isn't mine, but I had a 1992 Eclipse GST (Front Wheel Drive w/ Turbo - not the AWD Version GSX) that I still miss. I've had a couple of Camaros and a Vette, and this car was still more fun to drive...

    .

    I remembered another one ... can't remember exact year ... but I believe that it was a 1992 ... 4 wheel steer Honda Prelude.

    What a blast to drive that car with all 4 wheels steering. ... :eek:
