    Just like the title states. I'll begin with me. I half owned this NSX. My buddy Steve and I built this car up from nothing. It wasn't a power machine and was stock power wise. But the carbon wide body and the suspension work that went into it make it one hella fun car to drive. I miss it soooo much.

    I only kept the S14 for like 2 weeks maybe 3 so I know I don't have any of it. The 2000 Mustang I have some actual pictures Ill have to scan in. The Foxbody I doubt it, It was a red fox with a cowl hood and Weld 5 spoke Drag wheels. The S13 is sitting over at Turbo Daves shop rotting, they bought it from me and its been sitting every since.

    Built a S13 with a RB25DET. Man that engine was so amazingly strong and smooth. And the sound of it was beautiful. That was one streetable car.

    My pristine 02 WRX with all kinds of cool OG shit. Triple stack OG 45mm omori's(mechanical boost) that perfectly matched the interior before they went all new age, OG whiteline group4's, discountinued OZ supperleggera's in the highly sought after 18x8. That car was set-up nice, clean, and simple, and was deathly effecient at everything it did. Best of 29mpg on the highway, badass bike rack, wagon, 5spd sti dual synchro gearset. Turned a 1:11 at little tally running a set of 6 year old dry rotted re070's in August summer heat and 16psi on a vf-39. Just really well set-up, and clean, non butchered bug eye's were becoming more and more scarice at the time.

    I put it on ebay with a 19K reserve and it was met. Also had a $500 handling fee. Guy in Vegas sent me a check, lined up shipping, check cleared, I drove it down to ATL in mid august with no AC to put on a truck to Vegas and said AMF

    I miss my '87 30zx.

    Not the fastest or best handling car but it was my sixth car and the first one that cost more than 150 dollars.

    This was my second S2K which I regret selling, in fact, I look for another S2K at least once or twice a week.

    1975 Honda CB400F SuperSport

    about the only things that were not modified was the rotating assembly and the transmission. If it wasn't powder coated, it was Stainless Steel or plastic.

    I miss you Atom too. When Cool posted about the NSX, I was going to post your Atom, even though I only got to go for a ride in it once, but that was a life changing experience.

    i've had so many cars i don't really 'miss' any of them. I miss the power (torque) of the subaru, but if/when i get into something with similar power, i'll be satisfied.

    My old honda was fun while it lasted, but it was time to move on.

    wiki "The Z31 body was slightly restyled in 1986 with the addition of side skirts, fender flares, and sixteen inch (406 mm) wheels (all directly from the 1984 50th Anniversary Edition with the exception of the fender flares). Many black plastic trim pieces were also painted to match the body color, and the hood scoop was removed to provide a sleeker look"

    By far my WRX is my most favorite car that I have ever owned but out of all of the ones I have owned, I miss my Scion tC the most. Only owned it for 2 years. Loved the versatility of it. We even put a sofa from IKEA in it. Carried our bikes and lots of luggage. It was the car we drove on our honeymoon (they trashed Travis' OZ Rally with 1700 bags of Easter grass).

    I DO NOT miss my first car..... 1990 Isuzu Trooper. They are top heavy and will flip easily. I found out the hard way. :squint: To this day I HATE SUV's.

    Had a 1997 Toyota Camry from 1998-2007 when I bought the tC. It had a lot of road trip memories from high school and college but always wanted something sporty.

    I almost forgot about the Supra, I really wish I still had it. I think that may be my favorite car of all time to drive, especially on long road trips.
