The first car I want to buy is a Scion TC with a 5 speed manual! Modify a little so I can rip it on the tōge a little, then I want to get my absolute dream car, an FRS/BRZ!! Then later down the line I want to own a RHD JDM car, don’t know which one yet tho!
What about you guys?!
Also the picture is a display of 86s and BRZs in Maryland!

1930 Deusenberg Model J
'59 peugeot 403 convertible
Lotus Elise in attention whore yellow
except I can actually fit in it. total dream.
Have you tried the Corolla XRS?! It has the same 2ZZGE engine from the lotus! Specifically look for the 05 or 06 models.
a Lotus is pure sex appeal and a Carolla is … well … a Carolla
8200 rpm redline 👀
Jaguar XJ220 in the OG silver or British Racing Green
If we’re dreaming, how about a TWR XJ220s ? Gorgeous.
Sheeesh 😮💨
Used to lust after the R34 Skyline as a kid. Interests have shifted a little, but still remains JDM at heart with a strong desire for a nice kei-car/van; something like an Autozam AZ-1 or something like a Suzuki Every.
Having driven a Geo Metro for a couple hundred thousand miles (350k on the odometer when I sold it for what I paid for it after having having driven it for 250k~ of those miles myself) I have a strong like for Suzuki products.
I swear this is the year I finally import a Honda Beat
I, too, used to lust for the gtr! The R32 to be specific. I loved that car when I was younger. I still love it, but I don’t see myself gravitating towards it as much as i did before.
Pretty stoked about Aptera.
As far as cars that are currently available go, maybe the Audi R8.
The R8 is so cool. Understated awesome.
Caterham 7 SV. Probably one of the lower trims
Slow car fast rather than a fast car slow, its the way to have a good time
I had a bike engined (Honda fireblade) locost 7 that’s very similar. Trick with any 7 is to keep the weight as low as possible and the red line as high as you can. Still miss it now but the track days got expensive
I have a few different categories of dream car:
Realistic daily: GR86/BRZ
Realistic sports/weekend car: C6 Corvette
Unrealistic: a brand new Porsche 911 GT3
Those corvettes are fast! The porshes look so nice!!
1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, fully stock.
Slightly different drivetrain but I loved these cars until I got with my wife who had a '99 GS and quickly realized how shittily built they are. The motor blew up at 120k, got replaced, and then died again shortly after. We sold it for scrap price. I’m sure the 4G63 is more fun to drive but there’s a reason why you barely ever see these things on the road anymore.
Yeah - I’m prepared for that. I had a friend who had a GS back in the day, and it notoriously ran sometimes. Overall it spent more time running than it did broken down, but it was close.
But the other thing that struck me about it, and still does, is I think it’s one of the most distinctive and attractive auto designs ever. Just something about those curves and that stance appeals to me in a way that no other car ever has.
And while part of the reason I’d want a stock one is that people notoriously bolted crappy parts to them, most of it is that I’d actually want it mechanically rebuilt pretty much from bumper to bumper. If I could find one that’s had all of that done, and done well, that’d be fine too, but I’d rather have it done exactly the way I want it. And either way, I want the body to be completely stock.
Have you seen Jafromobile’s youtube channel? This guy is like the king of Mitsubishi and is doing multiple complete nut and bolt full on restorations of old Eclipse and Galants.
I agree they have some of the most beautiful body lines for tuner cars. My wife’s was the special 10th anniversary edition that came with the giant rounded spoiler and Enkei wheels for 1999. I think I’m just too much about practicality these days to appreciate owning something like that along with my automotive tastes being tailored more toward trucks (classic and/or modern RCSB).
One that got away was the FD RX7. 1993-1995 in the US.
I mostly own my current dream car even though I’ve had it 8 years now
Ford fiesta st!!! 😍
Amazing car. I hope you get your hands on an FD! Maybe Mazda’s new rx7 concept will pull through 🙏
Not sure if your messing or not :) but this is a Focus RS!
I am now in life where I could probably acquire one but they’re just not many unmolested ones left. Not sure I’d try at this point
Ohh mb for getting it wrong 😅 I always mix up the names!
I’ve always dug the Renault r5 turbo
Apparently they’re making a new one but electric (so not actually turbo but whatever) which looks pretty bonkers
From my youth: 1970 Buick GSX Stage 1
From my 20’s: I started autocrossing at age 19 with a 1985 Corolla GT-S. Which for those that know Toyotas, know that the Corolla GT-S was the North American version of the AE86. Which is ONE of the greatest platforms Toyota has made. It ended up being my favorite car that I’ve ever owned. Adjustable struts/shocks, sway bars that would look at home on a semi truck and Hoosier tires. Plus some minor mods on the engine, which was also used in the MR2 of that era (4A-GE). It was a ferocious little car and I won a lot of autocross events with it. I was even keeping up with some of the MR2’s, which at that time (late 80’s) were the greatest autocrossing cars on the track.
Now that I’m in my 50’s, having participated in multiple forms of auto sports, then left that for skydiving… My opinion about cars is this:
A “fast” car is just less slow that its competitors.
Given that I’ve been north of 225mph with NOTHING around me except for a parachute. Cars are booooooring.
The AE86, every teenager’s dream car to drift on the mountain pass 😂😂
Real shit tho, nice stuff! I haven’t even hit my 20s yet, i drive a 2006 rav4. So not too much fun but it starts up every day.
El Camino SS. I’m flexible on the year, I don’t mind the boxy look of the 80s models I just want that sweet ute style.
There was a very good condition one for sale near me a while back for $4,500, but it seemed too good to be true so I passed on inquiring about it. Plus I don’t really have the place to put it or the spare cash to spend, but once I get a place with a garage you bet your ass I’m buying one.
Eventually when I retire to Brazil or decide to just abandon the US I’ll get one of those Fiat Strada’s and put a better motor in it. There’s tons down there.
80s, 90s, and early 2000s cars peaked in styling! 😎

I, too, prefer the hard top. The soft top just doesn’t do it for me.
I’m currently on the lookout for a 90’s Subaru Domingo with the right specs. I might need to bite the bullet and partner up with an importer, though.
Maybe one day an R32 skyline.
If money was no object, a Lancia Stratos would be it. It looks so sick.
