Actually, there is one stipulation. No Ford. My dad works for Toyota and cannot stand Fords, and if I'm honest he might have me biased against them.

Honestly I think @Tcoat had this thread down in one post haha
You know that in about 3 years some new guy is going to resurrect it with "I think you should get the new..." don't you?

And I hope it's a good one. Who knows, if I do actually end up with another lease maybe I'll need a new suggestion three years from now.

...and then get butthurt when it's pointed out that he resurrected it.

Short list of cars lighter than an 86 with power to match or best the 86 in a straight line:
Ford Fiesta ST
Fiat Abarth
Mini Cooper S
I'm guilty of projecting my own requirements. I want to sit in it, not on it.

Oh that would only work if Nev resurrected it. And of course then made a huge deal that it had been going all along and never died.

Ha! Missed that detail. I see your point.

Supercharged or turbocharged S2000, FD RX7, LSx powered FD RX7, SR20DET powered 240sx, LSx powered 240sx, 2JZ-GTE powered 240sx, LSx powered NA or NB Miata, K20/K24 powered NA or NB Miata, 2ZZ-GE powered MR-S, K20/K24 powered MR-S, original NSX.

Any of the above would be as fun as or more fun than either, IMO. :P

I like this answer. Think a bank will finance any of these? XD

I will be around until at least 2020 unless:


I drop dead (the most likely of the scenarios)
My car gets totaled (and I decide to go a different way with the replacement)
I win the lottery and move to the Jag forum (not sure they would know what hit them there)
I get really, really bored, severally butthurt or pissed off in some bizarre manner (probably would only be a short term thing but who knows)
The Mods and/or Admin have had enough of my crap and perma ban me (I try to behave myself below that level of punishment but sometimes fall off the wagon)

If I didn't have the FRS, I may have put in a bid on it as the s2000 was the car that got me into cars (also my first option when car shopping)..

Learn it! It will take you (max) 1 month of daily driving, and you'll wonder why you waited so long!
Not gonna rag on A/T, but M/T is certainly an extra element of engagement, and an extra skill never goes to waste!
