Description

I've owned, daily-driven, repaired, upgraded, and raced this VR4 for the past 7 years.

In that time, there have been all kinds of ups and downs, but I wouldn't trade it for any other car. I've gone through a blown engine, a handful of clutches, a broken in half transmission, and all kinds of small issues here and there. On the flip side it's seen daily use in the good weather seasons, cross-country trips, and puts a wide-eyed look on people's faces every time it's out. I've dumped more time and money into this car than my budget should allow, and way more than I could ever get back by selling it. It's all worth it when I sit in that driver's seat and blast off a 0-60mph in under 4 seconds in a car few people understand.
