It's 1988, and you're a hotshot New York City businessman.

An FC3S of course

Considering that model stopped being produced in '86, probably.

>>16791152
Just how much is ¥10 Million in 1988? Surely it's a lot more than it is today.

Today it's 88,000 US dollars. Considering the value of the Yen in the 80s, it'd be around $100k then.

A 911 Turbo wouldn't be bad.

>>16791340
This may actually be the slowest car mentioned in the entire thread.

1989 Nissan GT-R in Guns Grey Metallic.

Depending on the season, the next year model vehicles may already be in dealership parking lots. Or just order it and wait 6 weeks.

10 million yen
is that like $10,000 usd?

Yeah , 80%s are a godsend . And my project car is a 74 so no fucking smog.

>>16791406
The funny thing is, California has the strongest gun, car, and logic cultures in the country. It's also historically been 50% Republican by population from basically forever until just a few years ago. California is a truly depressing example of the evils of gerrymandering.

The AE86 stopped production in 1987. Besides, do you really think a Corolla would be a company car?

This thread is relevant to my life because I spent 1988 in Japan as a college student, driving pic related.

I was also helping my Aussie friend export cars, so I had other choices. I settled on the Supra. So much fun, I ended spending 25 of the next 29 years there, driving so much JDM.


I miss my cheap Japanese used cars :(

>>16792319
>Besides, do you really think a Corolla would be a company car?
...yes?

> you're a hotshot NYC businessman

What the fuck nigga?

W126 with all the options I guess. Executive type dudes in Japan go wild for Mercedes.

I wouldn't mind an R31 hardtop sedan. I don't think they made them after 87 though.
