Wow @sh9000, you have a massive car collection. I think @tekering, @Slave IV, and @spanner does too. Fantastic! Oh man the metallic blue is so nice!

I only have an Old Merc, a few Subarus, and a Batmobile, lol.

Yeah.  I have a lot of cars and toys in general.  That’s a nice set of cars you have there.

The 300ZX is one of my all time favorites. Sometimes i fantasize about getting one of these in real life.

My friend and I were really into Z's back in high school. I bought his 280Z from him when he got a 300ZX from the 80s. Then he sold that and got a white 300ZX from the 90s that looked just like that. Then he rammed that into the back of a pick up truck, and no more Z's for him (he was fine, but his parents wouldn't let him buy another one).

Sometimes I think about getting one of the new 370Zs, but they don't seem all that great tbh.

I had a little 96 eclipse gs-t. Fun little car but kicked myself for not getting awd.  And my 2002 Camaro ss with the ls1 was a fun car until a tree ran into me. 

Lol, those trees were fast! Haha, I had a FWD Talon. I’d say the overall car quality was garbage but still fun. The AWD versions were seriously the fastest cars in the streets at the time (modded versions) There was one in our neighborhood that would lay waste to everything it came across.

The tree thing sounds like one of those old funny insurance claims:

 

" The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him. "

that sucks :ohmy: Yeah, almost sold my car to get a 370z, but idk. Maybe it is the design or something. i mean , it is not ugly , but meh. With that said i do still like them. I do think the styling on the 300zx was superior. Also the 350z was not bad.

My favorite from that era were the Supras and RX7s. But I also love the Eclipse/Talon/Laser. Those little things with AWD were wicked! I would say the Subaru 22B but for some reason, I put that in an entirely different category. 

The 22B is my >unicorn.jpg.cf0021a54d051edff02bb71221a214d7.jpg

Yeah, I'd love a 22B but I'm kinda over it with my current Stable (B5 S4 w/ RS4 widebody conversion and MKV R32). My all-time dream car would be a 959 but I'd "settle" for a Singer.

:D More like, "I wish!":lol:

I just can't justify the money it takes for trick cars anymore. Kinda bums me out. I want to want that stuff. But I'm just not turned on enough to make a purchase like that.

A lot of it stems from cars like that being 98% useless on the street. And doing track days is whole ball of wax. Now you're talking about a truck/trailer a minimum of $1500/day and whatever maintenance the car requires. Plus all of the travel time. If I had FU money sure. But I don't. At best I have "can you please leave me alone" money.:p

I just canceled my order for a 2020 GT500 Track Pack last week. I want the car. I have no idea what I would actually do with it though. Man I hate getting older and mature (ish).:cray:

Haha, yeah I'm going through the same thing right now. Just talked to my mechanic/friend about some choices I need to make on my cars and he even told me this is a different time and I have different priorities these days. Still, there is no way I am giving up my S4 and when I make purchase choices, I make them for life. They are all part of my "collection". Yeah, I have mental issues but I'm a collector (hoarder). As for the Singer...the thing is pure art. I could just hang any piece of it on a wall and get my money's worth of pleasure from it. But...I don't have that kind of money, lol!:p
