I'll have one o' those mid-engined sports cars, please
Well, my lack of impulse control kicked in and I went out and bought myself one of those mid-engined sports cars. Red. Pics after I pick it up today or tomorrow. Gotta do all the insurance, title, and plates stuff.

I knew you'd get an Acura NSX. Can't wait to see it.

Lyriq will be wifey's car. Still on track for that when AWD versions come.

You apparently know me very well. But not entirely.
Say hello to my 30 year old Toyota! Soon to be my track toy.

That paint on the red toyota looks like it held up well for 30 years old. Usually they've turned pink and get all splotchy...lol...Good luck at the track with it.

Job 1 will be replace the clutch (3rd gear grind). Job 2 is replace the windshield. Spider crack. Job 3 will be addressing the paint problems. Probably a wrap. I’m thinking either CAR head-to-toe or orange with carbon fiber trim items (engine cover, side skirts, splitter, and mirrors).

Oh man I wanted one of these soooooooo bad. Still kinda do. Is it the turbo or NA? I used to hear about snap oversteer, but supposedly Toyota revised the suspension on the 93 (or 94?) models. |

This one is a 91 turbo, but has been upgraded to include LSD. Not sure if that helps mitigate snap oversteer, but I will likely figure that out soon enough.
