    Yes a car enthusiast thread! Currently still driving an 09 Subaru Legacy, back in high school & most of college I worked as a mechanic. My first car was a restored 94 Mazda RX7 with the purple microfiber seats. If I can find my old phone or see if I can find it on the internet I'll be sure to post pics...saddest day when I had to sell it for that much needed cash, holding out for maybe a next gen Supra or Wankel (rotary) motor Mazda as my next car

    Nah fam, but I'll be sure to check it out!
    That's cool. Seems like a very useful skill to have.
    Confirmed Prius owner.
    Lmao @ "purple microfiber seats", so 90's. Next gen supra is going to share a body with the BMW Z5 (a better Z4)

    I drive a Renault Clio lol. Bought it 6 years ago when I was still in school. Wasn't that expensive and the previous owner didn't drive much so it didn't drove much when I bought it, which meant it was in good shape (and still is).

    Now I can afford to buy something else/more expensive but I love the thing and it never let me down so i'll wait till I 'need' to buy another. Don't see any reason atm.

    Actually I am getting a new car next year. Im hoping there is a next generation Demon coming out. Im a big muscle car guy and sadly the last real muscle car is a challenger.

    If they dont then Im going to get an Equus Bass in like 2 years

    Americans can get anything so easily, we dont even have RX7s in my country, no supras, no old evos, no s14s, just one r32, one ae86, some 180sx and 300zx. A 350z cost 50.000, the new WRX, EVO X, GT86 and the Camaro cost over 80.000 and a used 2012 GTR with 4000km cost 150.000. 1 liter cost 2 dollars and the average salary is near to 1000

    Got d--- :mjcry: where you from?

    We got lucky when that thing showed up at our garage and the owner abandoned it for scraps; it got totaled in an accident with several broken engine components, a missing turbo (one used to power the engine at low rpms) and of course in need of a new bonnet/front bumper. Took us a year & a half to restore it (I alone put in $15,000 which was a lot of my salary).

    Yep I've been watching it, it's good but it doesn't have that "Top Gear" feel to it yet.
