Spring is coming--thinking about nice cars

So with Spring aproaching I thought I would start a car thread
(ok its weeks away but I need to get out of this SAD's mood)
Most people know i have a passion for cars and If you didn't , well I really do !!
I was thinking of buying an early nineties Japanese car , 91/92 specifically ones I couldn't afford back then
ie Last of the TT RX7's , Supra TT, Dodge stealth/mitsu 3000gt TT AWD, or do I bite the bullet and Import a 92 JDM Skyline R32 Nismo
I know I will probably have to sell something to afford it , but I don't know if this is an itch that needs scratching or just boredom
reality I should wait for the spring and spend money on the vette to give it more power (nitrous SLP supercharger etc) but that won't satisfy the want for cars I once couldn't afford. i also would love to have a 1977-1981 Trans AM in mint condition as well as a 1973 Toyota Celica in perfect condition (my first car but a total pos rustbucket) or even something wacky like a french Matra simca Bageera (they had 3 seats in a row and looked a little like a de tomaso--if you had a vivid imagination)
well i've written enough , any thoughts , and what cars did you want first and couldn't have/afford also what was your first car (correct me someone if theses has already beena thread on this)
Luv ya all |

I'm actually in search for a car too. Been looking at an Integra Type R or an E36 BMW M3, which both are hard to find in good shape for a reasonable price.
If you can afford it, import the Skyline! :) |

I'd almost consider selling my soul for an E36 M3 in TechnoViolet with the orange interior. It's hard as hell to find BMW Individual E36s though, and most of those are the rare 4-door bastard M3s :(
Get a '93-95 RX-7 with a blown 13B and throw an LS1 in there. Total sacrilege but my god, LS1 RX-7s make my pants tight. Skylines are great and all, but have fun with parts availability and riceboys drooling over your car every time you put gas in the damn thing. Not to mention theft.
Or how about a nice '70-72ish 240Z and throw an LS1 into that? , is there anything you can't put the LS1 into that won't make it awesome as hell?
Or get a motorcycle like I plan on doing... Hell yeah. |

Very true. I'm looking for Estoril Blue on Dove White Interior. There's actually several out there but usually no one wants to sell it. |

| I've also got a for E30 M3s. I just love the way they look, with those flared fenders and BBS meshies. $$$ though. |

Get the Saturn Sky instead. Looks quite a bit nicer and with a nicer interior and a few more options for a few grand more. Or get the new Mazda MX5. |

DEFINETLY, FOR SURE, WITHOUT QUESTION, get the Saturn Sky.
Cale and I have talked about this before, lol. WAY nicer looking car than the Solstice. It has nicer lines overall, and the interior is beautiful. It's pretty comparable to the Vauxhall VX220, except for the engine.
