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!

A rare tC enjoyer! I had an 08 tC from 2016 to January of this year and it was an absolutely fantastic car. It never once failed me, cranked up first try and never even had any maintenance issues other than drinking oil up until I put some additives in it one time. A very practical and fun car and practical unless you have adults to put in the back seat. I sold it in near perfect condition this year to an 18 year old kid for 5500 USD and made him promise to take care of it. After I sold the Scion I bought a 22 Miata RF which has been my (achievable) dream car since the ND came out in 2016. The car has absolutely lived up to expectations, without a doubt the most fun car I've ever driven, my friends FR-S and SS Camaro can kick rocks. The only thing I don't love is the machine grey color but I have a dark green wrap picked up that will nip that in the bud. Finally my actual dream car is the lotus Elise/Exige. Im 6'2 and can't get enough of cars that I barely fit in. It seems like a Lotus is the perfect upgrade from a Miata but unlike the Mazda couldn't be my only car so I'd need a daily. Haven't figured that part out yet but I'm thinking maybe an Audi wagon. Not a huge fan of German cars but it's hard to argue the mix of luxury and performance the Audis offer.

Here's a picture of my Scion

Loved my little Rover 25 with the 1.4 K series. Incredibly fun car and super underrated. Now I drive a high milage hero mk 1 Skoda Octavia with the venerable 1.8T remapped. It’s a barge and a little ropey, but it’s really funny how I can take even modern cars from light to light. I would like something with fewer doors though, maybe a Porsche boxter is up next. A step up from that would be a 993 or 996, but those are pretty pricey. With an unlimited budget I’d probably go for a GMA t.50 or t.33.

1976 Datsun 240z. I would want to give it all modern internals, but that body design is perfection in my eyes.

If I had unlimited money I would basically pull the engine and drivetrain out of a 5th Gen supra and cram it in there.

All I need is like 200k in cars, parts and labor then my dream can be a reality lol

If we're dreaming, how about a TWR XJ220s ? Gorgeous.

Lotus Elise in attention whore yellow

except I can actually fit in it. total dream.

[-] LagFlex@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

Have you tried the Corolla XRS?! It has the same 2ZZGE engine from the lotus! Specifically look for the 05 or 06 models.

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 1 points 2 months ago

a Lotus is pure sex appeal and a Carolla is ... well ... a Carolla

I've always dug the Renault r5 turbo

Apparently they're making a new one but electric (so not actually turbo but whatever) which looks pretty bonkers

Caterham 7 SV. Probably one of the lower trims

[-] tankplanker@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I had a bike engined (Honda fireblade) locost 7 that's very similar. Trick with any 7 is to keep the weight as low as possible and the red line as high as you can. Still miss it now but the track days got expensive
