My current project:

Image

-=FD3S RX7=-
-13B REW
-Stock turbos
-RE Amemiya everything
-Bigass wing that actually does it's intended job










JUST KIDDING

Image

Mongoose Rockadile
-Mud (aftermarket)
-Grease (OEM)
-Stickers (JDM)
-Uncomfortable saddle (can't afford anything at all so no improvement there)

I don't own a car right now (you know that though). I'd love to have a fun car. Had a 79 TE72 'Rolla, 88 FC3S RX7, 90 S13 coupe, 91 S13 hatch, and a couple other things before. No job, no money. No ticky, no laundry!

I'm probably going with a Miata next (1.8l), cheap fuel efficient fun car. There are companies that offer built turnkey Spec Miatas for $10k, so I'd likely get one of those when I can. Next would be a WRX, probably an 06 for the 2.5 and better brakes, keeping it mostly stock and going with a cage and all the necessary bits and bobs to do some 'stage rally' kinda stuff.

Ultimate dream car would be an FD3S RX7, with a huge budget. Strip it down to bare metal, acid dip or whatever it, cage and reinforced chassis, 13B with modest power (400RWHP) or so, focus on very well tuned suspension for road racing (IE not lowered a ton).

Until then, I've got my ChevroLegs.

These "rides" as you call them are dismayingly sticker-free.

Johnny, the Kübelwagen isn't mine. I think it belonged to Hitler.

Swiss-made and some real nice design touches. Very tight ride and a great climbing machine.

Got some years on it now ('00) but this is my daily driver and it still gets it done.

Mineral King. That's the trail head for Sawtooth Pass/Timber Gap. I did a nice five day loop out of there including one nice albeit relatively short XC section. Beautiful.

Yes,yes,yes. I knew it looked familiar. We parked there for our eight-day trip. Headed south over Franklin Pass and then exited at Timber Gap from the north...
Beautiful area. I noticed the marmot protection on some of the vehicles...
