The first car I want to buy is a Scion TC with a 5 speed manual! Modify a little so I can rip it on the tōge a little, then I want to get my absolute dream car, an FRS/BRZ!! Then later down the line I want to own a RHD JDM car, don’t know which one yet tho!

What about you guys?!

Also the picture is a display of 86s and BRZs in Maryland!

    Used to lust after the R34 Skyline as a kid. Interests have shifted a little, but still remains JDM at heart with a strong desire for a nice kei-car/van; something like an Autozam AZ-1 or something like a Suzuki Every.

    Having driven a Geo Metro for a couple hundred thousand miles (350k on the odometer when I sold it for what I paid for it after having having driven it for 250k~ of those miles myself) I have a strong like for Suzuki products.

      The 300zx is one of Nissan’s coolest sport cars, besides the silvia ofc ;) . It’s a shame that the latest Z is almost corvette territory prices because of those damn dealer markups!

      Bro i wish Toyota was allowed to produce the Hilux here. Such a reliable truck, so many Americans would benefit from it. It pisses me more and more that us Americans won’t get the toyota hilux champ.

        The Toyota pickup is a damn good second, always has been, since it was the same vehicle without diesel. Even today a Taco is a great vehicle (though a diesel would make it so much better).

        Though I’d love a current HiLux diesel. What a slow and steady beast.

    From my youth: 1970 Buick GSX Stage 1

    From my 20’s: I started autocrossing at age 19 with a 1985 Corolla GT-S. Which for those that know Toyotas, know that the Corolla GT-S was the North American version of the AE86. Which is ONE of the greatest platforms Toyota has made. It ended up being my favorite car that I’ve ever owned. Adjustable struts/shocks, sway bars that would look at home on a semi truck and Hoosier tires. Plus some minor mods on the engine, which was also used in the MR2 of that era (4A-GE). It was a ferocious little car and I won a lot of autocross events with it. I was even keeping up with some of the MR2’s, which at that time (late 80’s) were the greatest autocrossing cars on the track.

    Now that I’m in my 50’s, having participated in multiple forms of auto sports, then left that for skydiving… My opinion about cars is this:

    A “fast” car is just less slow that its competitors.

    Given that I’ve been north of 225mph with NOTHING around me except for a parachute. Cars are booooooring.

    An imaginary version of the old Wrangler that gets good mpg. I loved driving my '93 Wrangler to anywhere but the gas station

    The three on my list at the moment are a GR Corolla (I’d prefer a Yaris but they’re not in the states), a Kei truck/van, and any JDM 90s diesel van.

    car I can’t fit into but would love if I could: NA or NB Miata. I’m 6’4. It’s not gonna happen.

    car I could realistically fit into and afford someday (maybe): Corvette C5. They’re just beautiful.

    One that got away was the FD RX7. 1993-1995 in the US.

    I mostly own my current dream car even though I’ve had it 8 years now

      Amazing car. I hope you get your hands on an FD! Maybe Mazda’s new rx7 concept will pull through 🙏

        Not sure if your messing or not :) but this is a Focus RS!

        I am now in life where I could probably acquire one but they’re just not many unmolested ones left. Not sure I’d try at this point
