Buying the new RX-7 if Mazda reveals it. It'll probably be very expensive to own for someone making 60k/yr and be impractical enough that I require a roof rack, but I'll manage.

You're not wrong, but I'm pretty frugal overall. On my lower salary now I'm able to save $2,500 a month and. I have to move to KC so I'm going to live with some friends and rent my house so I'm going to be saving a lot every month so why not.

I have always dreamed of being competent enough to understand basic metalworking and engineering so I could reinforce my vehicles with steel to increase safety. Like it or not, safety is arguably compromised to cut costs and reduce vehicle weight. I would love to line my door panels with ultra-thick steel crossmembers. I would love to replace the windows with ultra-resilient bulletproof glass - not because I expect bullets - but just so it can keep out any huge debris like a rock, brick, etc...

I would design the inside of the engine bay to resemble a plow. If some idiot hits me head on, the force will be dissipated by shearing the oncoming car in half with my plow.

Basically, if some idiot texting on her phone hits me, I want to be safe.

Alternatively, I could just buy pic related instead.

The main problem with the GTR and a bunch of upper level sports cars is they dont offer them with manual shifters anymore. I'm not racing anybody on the street, it doesnt need to be 5 seconds faster around the nurburgring, it needs to be maximum fun for the dollars on the street where it is actually driven by 99% of buyers. Even me as a maximum ricer fan boy can say I'd rather have a Ford Shelby GT350 over the R35 GTR, because its more fun to fuck around with actually driving around.

>The main problem with the GTR and a bunch of upper level sports cars is they dont offer them with manual shifters anymore.

You can thank Americans for that. And for instilling this SUV/landbarge fetish for everyone, and them requiring all cars to have extremely heavy safety features because everyone drives a landbarge hip hop symbol, and then these bricks on wheels being so top heavy that they flip over if they turn, slowly shrinking windows and increasing reliance on cameras...

>>17076423
>You can thank Americans for that.
What? Is this what the average yuropoor actually thinks?

Yeah I'm sure that's the same reason they took manual gearboxes out of F1, oh no wait, it's because they're faster.


Look I'm a manual fanboi and have only driven manuals, but DCT's shift faster and that's why they're used.

From time to time, i feel like buying one of those small PSA shitboxes (106, 205, Saxo) and then spending even more money on tuning it. Nothing visual, more of a sleeper. I've seen a guy who pulled out >130hp from tu3 1.4 engine (which sits in all of those cars) without turbo.

I know it's waste of money, but god those cars are cute. And it's actually very realistic project, both cars and tuning parts shouldn't be that expensive (me fucking things up while making modifications would be expensive, but i guess that's the beauty of learning how to do things right).

Because you can just get a geo metro, save yourself time and trouble and probably spend less money.

The 2017 GT-R, you mean? No, I haven't, I'm not sure exactly what years I've driven but the last time I was in one was in 2015.

I can't speak for every driver, but to me a lot of what makes a car fun is the challenge of driving it well. I like having room to improve, and I like feeling like a badass when I nail the technique. I want those Jeremy Clarkson-style "I AM A DRIVING GOD!" moments.

You just don't get those in the GT-R unless you're in maximum attack mode, though, and nobody sane is gonna go that hard on the road in a car that fast. The GT-R is so damn capable, so fast and so grippy that it makes a fast canyon run feel like a drive to the supermarket. It makes you feel like a bitch for not pushing it harder.
