I had a 1971 Toyota FJ40, and built a 1992 supercharged Camaro with a mini blower. Those were my coolest, but also a couple Fiero's, a Z32, and an E30.

...also the guy that rode a bicycle everywhere '09-'14 got hit 7 times, with the last one disabling me. So don't get too bent over car stuff. I've put in over 170k miles on a bicycle since '09.

I modified the crap out of an Eclipse spider, all the way down to welding intercoolers amd exhaust, to grinding out maniffolds, and rebuilding transmission on my front porch. Super reliable, too (rare for that car), and was close to an AWD conversion (had the doner) before I sold it for a twin turbo 335i I got for a steal that is on it's 4th water pump after 13 years :(
