What I drive and own are two different things. For the most part my daily driver is a 1998 Chevrolet 1500 Truck.  Every so often, mainly just keep the batteries charged and the such, I will drive one of two Mitsubishis. Either a 1991 3000GT SL with only 26,000 miles on her or a 1989 Chrysler Conquest with many more miles at 116,000.   On those rare occasions when they are willing, I drive one of the toys. Either a 1967 Camaro rs convertible or a 2000 Monte Carlo SS. Both have been modded quite a bit, the Monte Carlo more so.   Then there are the cars that don't get driven at all it seems. 1955 4Dr Chevy BelAir, 1956 4Dr Chevy BelAir, 1957 2Dr Sedan Chevrolet BelAir, 1969 Chevelle 396 SS, 1987 Buick GN. Those don't get driven for various reason. Out of reach at the moment to needing repairs or just incomplete restorations. So yeah, I may have a small addiction.

Back in my college days, my first car was a 1997 Pontiac Grand Am. It had way too many miles on it and it was almost falling apart. I spent quite some time fixing the car to make it run fine. Occasionally, I would bring it out at night to push it to top speed. The car was stock, so top speed wasn't very fast. But I was lucky the engine held together despite running it at the red line at top speed. But boy oh boy, did that car have crappy brakes. I literally had to stand on the brakes to stop the car after a top speed run.
After college, I left the States, sold the Pontiac, and moved to Hong Kong. I now drive a 1999 Lexus ES300. The Lexus is such a comfy car.
But the racing blood is still flowing. I'm searching for something sporty. Someday, I will buy an R32 or R34. Most of the R32s and R34s in Hong Kong are tuned and have plenty of mileage. If I want a stock GTR with low mileage, I think I will have to import one from Japan.
Recently, I found a black S15 online. I think this car has potential, it will be nice to drive the S15 while I continue searching for the perfect GTR.

Had a 1991 Midnight black Acura Integra. My first car ever when I got my license. Demolished it in 2006 after falling off a 400ft cliff in Azusa Cayons (No, wasn't drunk, basically lost control aka understeer) Before:  After:  6 months after, my mom leased a 2007 Silver Mica Toyota Yaris Sedan (Supposedly its hers and she was suppose to be driving it, but she likes the Murano more so i just took it in.) Man so many fun times in that car, especially its how my girlfriend got attracted to me (Yaris > Corolla) Unfortunately, car only lasted a good 5 months... (Oct 06 - March 07) Before:  After:  Story behind that was I was going home to pick up my shoes for Drumline Rehersal, as I was going through residential about 30mph. 2 trucks were making unsafe left turns, meaning I couldn't see if there was another truck making a left on the other side. So I got out of the traffic, but the truck starting dipping in as soon as I got closer and well...picture explains it all. Anyways for now, I drive my mom's 99 Acura CL 3.0...Yeah yeah, before you can start flaming and whatever to me, just though to let people know what I've been through. Finally after 2 years, I can finally say, "F*** whatever people say, whats done is done and will not be undone, so live on life. Current:  - RemieGino14 -

Before  After  -- When I had the accident, I was in the process of getting a Comptech Supercharger and some Enkei RPF1s. I cancelled the shipping of the wheels, and the Supercharger got to me days after the accident. I just bought a new S2000 and plan on installing the Supercharger in it. I'm gunna miss that red interior though. I have an EG too, but it's pretty much stock for now. I wanna swap in a B18...

Well, here's the story - so you know how I managed to flip an S2000.
I was driving home from school, it was raining pretty hard (Note: I live in New Mexico, rain isn't a common thing - so hard for me might be light for you.) Usually the S2000 can handle wet like any other car, even though it has no TCS or DSC, and I always put some nice all-weather Bridgestones on the car. I had no trouble with the rain that had come before, so I knew that the car could handle 5 under in such rain.
While I got close to my exit, I started to change lanes. The freeway's at a slight, very slight, bank at this point and I hit a dip in the road that just so happens to be full of water. I hydroplane, this is also relatively common when driving in the wet, and I held the wheel straight, this would usually work, BUT! I was changing lanes. The rear end broke loose and I spun across 3 lanes into the median. The rear passenger side hit the median and got pulled up, then momentum took it upside down. The car skidded for about 20meters before stopping.
I came out of the wreck with just a sore neck. I had one (!) cut, and it was from crawling out from the car on broken glass.
@280z. This had nothing to do with it being a convertible; whether I had my hardtop on the car at the time, the same thing would have happened. The Honda engineered cockpit kept me from getting even a scratch. The stock roll bars are incredibly sound.
@wangan_sti. Some nice red Brides would be awesome, but still wouldn't be as sexy as the entire interior being red. I do plan on getting some Brides w/ Takata Greens, but that won't be for a while. I have big plans for the new S.
