    SL will be the next convertible I own, been telling Hans that for years now, he just rolls his eyes

    Every car I want to replace the 3/S's we have, are all 2 seaters, which unfortunately aren't the most practical now. But a Viper was next in line once we sold off the extra cars, although I think it's kind of off the table for a while now... no room for a 3rd passenger

    We'll never get rid of Hans' satin black (now orange) 3000GT, my Stealth, and probably his yellow stealth.
    Circa 2005... Oh my, how far I've come

    I've been wanting to build one of these ever since I visited the headquarters two years ago: https://www.factoryfive.com/kits/project-818/

    Since I've built about every aspect of my 3k anyway, I think the 818s is the logical next step, for me anyway.

    I've also been eyeballing the RX8, BRZ, and Genesis coupe, but I also need my truck. I've had 3 cars on insurance before and it's no fun while trying to pay for house/3k/jeep modding.

    After my 3k puked this last engine I've about given up hope on it. I'd ditch it altogether had I not *just* completed the AWD conversion. It's just now getting fun!

    I would love to have an FD, its the car that first got me into cars. Sooner or later I will have one (hopefully). Probably will always have my 2g Stealth though, $23 a month in insurance is worth keeping it.

    Interesting to see how different everyone's preferences are even though we have all had a 3/S at one time or another.

    Jason, I love your FD. Rekindles my love for them! I also love the wheels. What is the redline on that engine - 8K? I always thought it would be fun revving something out to 8/9K.

    I would love to have two fun cars (I though about getting a beat to shit Miata and just tracking it) but can't do it financially right now, especially considering I just finally justified a DD after having a 3/S since I was 16 lol Wish I could sell my car and buy something else for a while and if I wanted, buy my VR4 back for the price I sold it lol!

    I would definitely rock a Z06, M3, etc. that some of you guys mentioned! I really like the new Mustangs as well, pretty impressive considering the price and that it is a Ford

    I'm actually very interested in the new F80 M3 but it will take a couple of very good years and the children off the books for it to be possible. All three are graduating next May (two on the same day lol).

    Mod list (scroll down the page)

    No. I already fell for that once LOL.

    As far as the cars go, most realistically would be a new 5.0 Mustang, which I'm sure I would want to supercharge. Otherwise I'd really want to get something rarer, like a Viper of some sort, but not sure how realistic that is for me.

    I thought about this earlier in the year when I blew the engine up on nitrous, was all set to part it out. After a good long think I couldn't come up with a decent alternative so put a new engine in and was deffinitely the right choice.

    I would love a Nissan GTR R35, maybe treat myself for my 40th birthday in a few years .
