Just trust me on this man, she's a lost cause

There was backing into a fence, being rear-ended at a yield (thankfully ruled not at fault, but she began to go then stopped with no cars coming, guy behind hit her as he shoulder checked), turning left into a parking lot and T-boning a reversing car, driving over a cement parking block (all 4 wheels), and several collisions before i met her

edit forgot sliding into a curb at 20kph on ice with wheel cranked and wrecking a front left suspension/fender/skirt, 2 years ago


The 1m sounds very interesting, looks like it holds value extremely well also

Jason's NSX can probably handle being driven. What exactly makes it a queen? Because its nice?

Id also recommend an Evo 8 or 9. The issues with the STI are not like the Evo. The 4g63 is a much stronger motor out of the box than the ej25 and will make more power per buck. They are easy to tune, reliable when done right and the limits of the car will go beyond most peopl le's driving abailities. Like others have said you could buy a mint low mile lhd 8 or 9 and modify it to make big power and have a fantastic suspension setup on pump gas. Alternatively you could buy a really well built one from a reputable US shop that specializes in them such as English racing, ETS, CBRD, burschur or STM. Only thing I'd say is go with the 5 speed, the 6 speed gearbox is weak and will give you problems down the road.

Let's face it, anything beyond intake, exhaust, and springs, the car is not going to be reliable compared to Oem performance. The op lives in a rural community where he will have travel at least one hour for any decent aftermarket shop to service a heavily modded car

I know this is just each to their own, but...

Why the hell people buy membership for a race track and drive passenger vehicles? With all the luxury features, sound system, leather interior, etc?

I've seen people buying basic/entry level formula cars like F1600 and F2000 and race them on weekends, which made sense to me.
Also those small Racing Karts are cool too.

But if I bought a BMW M3 or Lexus IS-F, I'd just drive on the street(as it meant to be). Especially considering how much it's gonna cost to buy a membership.
