Going through a drive thru is darn near impossible in a right drive BTW.
Here's what I drooled over this week:
1st gen WRX RA
WRX 555
Same era EVO
Mid 90's Legacy GT wagon and sedan B B spec, both with factory Bilsteins
R32's
R34's
S15 Sylvia
1st gen 70's GTR showroom condition
Several cool kei cars
I will post some pics soon but you can see many of them here:

I'd probably buy and play with some JDM classics if I have the extra garage space and cash to burn. |
So many times I was close to pulling the trigger on a rhd supra TT 6mt. I was splitting hairs on a mint black one grade 3.5 for $15k. But the fact that I would have to insure through facility and insurance companies are dropping rhd coverage by the day just turned me away. But mostly, rhd car in LHD country is all sorts of troubles- law enforcement and traffic.
I still do day dream about finding a clean lhd 94 Celica shell then buying a rhd 94 celica gt4 to use for a conversion. That'll cover my ass on the VIN tags, LHD, and insurance.
