sadly no. I replaced the engine and turbos a couple of years into it after blowing it up with a 16K mi engine from a Japanese front clip. car was really solid for a while. then little shit started to go. the removable sunroof would leak, my pillar pod would leak, the turbo timer would turn off/on when I'd hit the blinker and for some damn reason the clutch hub kept sheering off the disc. oh and it would just un-align itself. it was just a bunch of petty things and I got sick of it. however I still regret it to this day.

the trouble with that car is if they're reasonably priced they are most likely shit boxes or people think their 20 year old car with a boost controller is worth $20K. I still hope to get another one day. never should have sold it.

That's why I didn't want to buy a used EVO, despite it being my dream car.

I'm going to baby my FR-S and drive it for decades.

Me to!!!!
If there was a decent one within 500 miles of here (when I was looking) I would still have it!
They did not take the weather here well at all though.

vr4s are cool, but would rather have a supra or 300zxTT of that era.

me "yeah"
her "I love you!"

I laughed and said thanks. I'm pretty sure my oldest daughter is older than her.

As long you did not see her with father's eyes its cool,
The other chik indeed

The newer ones stand up much better!
My 03 Lancer Rally down the street still looks like ne after 12 Canadian winters.
Nope it is my DD in all aspects. I live in London but work in Windsor and Woodstock and do over 7000 kilometres a month so worrying about winter is not a factor to me. In 4 years I will buy something new anyway.

You can probably out drive me now but will never aspire to my level of smartassery!

Tcoat is the smartest ass.

OT: I went to northern PA over the weekend to visit my girlfriend. Saturday morning we were eating breakfast in a busy little cafe in town. We were seated near the windows and I could see my car parked just outside on the street. A middle aged couple came in and the husband was making it a point to take a look at "that cool little blue car over there" once he got inside.

By this point he was standing next to our table and his wife was trying to reign him back to the waiting area. He was saying something along the lines of "wow what is that?" and I told him it was mine, a Subaru BRZ. The usual question ensued (AWD? No. Does it go well in snow? Kinda. etc).

Kind of neat to see how even the "muscle car" generation swoons over these cars.
