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!

    From my youth: 1970 Buick GSX Stage 1

    From my 20’s: I started autocrossing at age 19 with a 1985 Corolla GT-S. Which for those that know Toyotas, know that the Corolla GT-S was the North American version of the AE86. Which is ONE of the greatest platforms Toyota has made. It ended up being my favorite car that I’ve ever owned. Adjustable struts/shocks, sway bars that would look at home on a semi truck and Hoosier tires. Plus some minor mods on the engine, which was also used in the MR2 of that era (4A-GE). It was a ferocious little car and I won a lot of autocross events with it. I was even keeping up with some of the MR2’s, which at that time (late 80’s) were the greatest autocrossing cars on the track.

    Now that I’m in my 50’s, having participated in multiple forms of auto sports, then left that for skydiving… My opinion about cars is this:

    A “fast” car is just less slow that its competitors.

    Given that I’ve been north of 225mph with NOTHING around me except for a parachute. Cars are booooooring.
