So I'm not sure if there's a lot of car enthusiasts around these parts, but I'm totally a gear head. So I figured I'd start a cars thread to talk about cars with other like minded folks.
I never was much into cars growing up, like at all, but then the combo of Need For Speed Underground and the original Fast and the Furious changed all that.
Japanese tuners are my jam! I've owned a 95 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T, which I modded myself, after that I had a 97 GSX... For about a month.
After those debacles, I got into my favorite car, my 06 Subaru STi. Loved loved loved that car. Got into a front end crash because some dick bag was drifting into my lane during crazy amounts of rain.
Now I currently own a 2011 STi, that is getting a new engine in it.
While not having the best of luck with cars,I still love them.
I also love videos on YouTube from my mighty car mods to some of the cinematic videos you can find.
Videos like these are just spectacular!
Anyways, hope there are others on here to talk cars with.
Like, anybody hyped for the new Supra? Kinda crazy it's a joint project of BMW and Toyota, but I hope it sells like crazy!

At the dealership getting my engine inspected after they put a new one in about 500 miles ago. So I have time to burn and went over to parts. They have a 2018 Subaru STi RA in the showroom. So I'm looking at it, it's a bad ass car. I have a 2011, and I like the wing on this one. Really slick looking. So I'm thinking I want one on my STi, because racecar. So I go over to parts to get a quote. I'm expecting it would be kinda expensive since it's a limited edition RA and only for that vehicle. When I asked them, they said that they'd need the VIN number just to look it up, but the lady said it's really expensive. She tells me that someone that worked there looked it up and it was about $4000. Holy unbelievable fuck Batman that's beyond logically acceptable high priced goodness for a car. I still want it though. But damn. That's crazy. Even online it's 3200-3800 before shipping.

I got no problem with Evo's. Love the 5, 7 and 9. But the 4g63 is kinda weak, at least the one's in both my Eclipse's were. IDK about the Evo 4g63. I used to have a 16g turbo off an Evo III on my old 95 Eclipse GS-T. But once you blow up 2 Mitsu's, you move to a Subie. Or at least I did. I still dream of an R34 some day. Can't wait to see how inflated their price is once you can import them legally in 2024. I want a v-spec if I get lucky enough to grab one if I ever have money to justify that purchase.

I havent kept up with Lancers or Evos in like a decade, so I have no real notion towards them anymore lol.
I actually like the boxy look of the R32s more than the 33/34s.
My actual favorite Nissan is a 300zx, too. I'd love to own one before they're wiped from existence but its hard to own a nice car in southern louisiana.
