the best one is my 1999 Escort. I have beat the living sh!t out of this car and the only thing I have had to do is a fuel pump. My dad bought it new in 99' and I bought it from him.
the green mustang next to it, the worst decision of my life, the machine shop messed up 3! motors and in the 4 horrible years that I had it I maybe got 4,000 miles on it.

my FZ is the one I have had the most fun on, the STI and the Blue Cobra are both my best friend's cars with my FZ (he also has a 458 and a real 70' Chevelle 454.)

the Silver Mustang is my newest car, I really love this one, I have big plans too!

The STi Version is the only way i could justify having a silly hood scoop on my road car...couldn't bring myself to buy a standard WRX, then get beat off the line by Hondas :spank:

The way I look at it, cage is functional, bike is for speed :D

I'm not sure what Honda you're referring to that'll do 0-60 in under 5 seconds. Standard WRX does 0-60 in 4.9, STi in 4.7, and both come with the same hood scoops for the past several years.

Why the hood scoop though? And you'd be surprised how much HP people squeeze out of those v-tec engines. Myself if I had to have a Subaru it would be that BRZ Sti, In a manual obviously, RWD ftw ;)

I just saw that the BRZ is coming out in a convertible in '14... :thumbup:

Sadly, I learned a month or so ago that I don't fit in them... :(

This one is real easy.

My 2002 Honda S2000.

Just sold it last summer. Pretty much a 4-wheeled FZ6! Absolute blast to drive and could outpace most motorcycles in the twisties. Had her for 6 great years but due to my love of motorcycles I only put about 4,500 miles a year on the car...time to let it go.



My current favorite is my 2000 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4. It will go anywhere and I have not had to do a single repair on it in 5 years...most bulletproof trucks made for longevity.

I don't think I've posted to this thread before. I'd have to say my '94 Chevy G20 Gladiator (conversion van). She might not be the prettiest sight, and doesn't have to be, but ~153,000 miles in and that engine still hums. Never broke down on me and has always been a comfortable ride for any excursion when I play an out of town show with a band. I think I'd sell the day-to-day commuter car before I sold that lady. :rockon:

This one isn't mine, but it's essentially the same.

Hood scoop is meant to keep the intercooler cold, which is just inside the scoop on both the WRX and STi.

I realize a tuned car will be much faster, but I'm talking stock. I had an Acura RSX-S which was crazy fun to drive and can be tuned to really haul, but then again so can a WRX.

I'd love to have the BRZ STi convertible. That would be the tits.

Saw the stock BRZ at a gas station, and I just kind of stopped and looked it it for a bit, then when i found out it was RWD I got even more interested. There aren't enough RWD cars on the road that don't cost 80k+ IMO...

Like that BRZ alot though, especially the 2014... That car may be in my future :D
