I had a 1971 Toyota FJ40, and built a 1992 supercharged Camaro with a mini blower. Those were my coolest, but also a couple Fiero’s, a Z32, and an E30.

…also the guy that rode a bicycle everywhere '09-'14 got hit 7 times, with the last one disabling me. So don’t get too bent over car stuff. I’ve put in over 170k miles on a bicycle since '09.

Oh yeah! That is SUPER rare. I painted and did auto body repairs for used car lots. I’ve worked on thousands of cars and only worked on purple once.

91 Honda Civic CRX Si w/black gold fleck paint and a moon roof. Not rare but definitely niche.

I LOVED this car. Super short wheel base and an absolute sleeper since it was so light. Only ICE that could get going like a EV that I’ve been in. And you were practically sitting on the road. With the door open I could easily put my palm on the ground. Even at 25mph it felt like you were speeding. So much fun to drive.

I used to own a Hotwheels’ '68 Shelby GT500 car, but I lost it - think some kid stole it. That was almost eight years ago.

If I had to be honest, I would love to own a electrified, rally version of the 60s, 70s and 80s BMW. I’m not talking about the touring models - they look ugly as hell. The four-door version with large ground clearance and fat tires - I love it.

My previous car was a civic type R (FK8). Not the rarest car, but it was one of the last to come off the factory floor before they closed the factory and ended production for that version, so it was pretty much impossible to buy. Fucking great car. Loved it.
