Toyota Supra TT, Lexus IS300 or Lexus IS350
I don't own any of them right now. I'm trying to finish out my education so I can get a decent job that doesn't inhale hundreds of hours of my time so I can do it more. The end goal being to roughly go pro-drift and have several other businesses that help pay the bills and allow me to basically not "work" for a living. That may actually happen sooner rather than later. I was within inches of buying a few IS300's just before the 350s details were fully laid out, but decided to hold off a while to accrue the "moderate" amount of funds I need to build my ... toy.

Yes, to those that will ask questions of this, I plan to leave the software business behind never to return in an official capacity. I am designing hardware and software for the cars, which I will likely make myself, but that is about the extent of the programming I plan in my future.

Considering they cost 100K to get a street legal one here, it'll be a bit of time before I order mine. I'll be really happy if and when Nissan releases the R35 here though.. *drool*

If I bought an America-legal r35, I'd feel like I was cheating.

I'm currently in the process of throwing some things against the wall (in hopes something sticks)... and I'm fairly sure I'll end up in an STi. I'd like to do some of the SCCA stuff in the future. I look at drifting as more of a fun thing to do, but rally is where it's at for me.

mmm 4-banger 300 hp goodness

I have no need to be JDM.. it's mostly silly to me. But considering the amount of modification I'm planning.. all I need to start is the chassis. Even with that, I only need one to make references from really.

yeah, STi's are great for rally. While I love the boxer engine design, I don't personally like the STi/WRX styling or sound too much. While it's nice to hear a good growling exhaust once in a while, I prefer my cars to have a very nice purr even at high RPM. My current target is to produce a note under 50dB or so. Pretty damn quiet for a street car, let alone race car. The key: active noise cancelling.

Let's keep this baby rollin'!!!

I have a Ford Ka2 1.3 litre. It's a T reg (1999), and it's what I refer to as 'a womans car'. Glad I'm getting rid of it in 2 weeks when I move away :lol:

I wish I could use public transportation... none comes anywhere NEAR my house. I drive a crappy little Geo Prizm.

Just out of curiosity, are you a native speaker of english? I don't mean this to insulting; just wondering.
</desultory>
LOL

Yes I am born and breed to speak x86 so English is my second language. ;)

Why, am I that bad?

I know my use of comma's is overkill, but when typing on a forum I type as I speak/think so I pause frequently and improperly as I don't think before I reply usually...

Not insulted...it's all good... :P
