2007 Honda S2000

Then I started going with the most bang for the buck performance

2008 Corvette Z51 6MT
2009 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 V8 (Don't ask )
2017 Chevy Camaro SS 6MT

Finally progressed towards Ms
2020 M2C 6MT
2022 M4 6MT

It's been a journey I don't think I can go back to more affordable performance cars though...
Impressive list of Japanese cars. Reliable and fun, for the most part.
This G80 will be the second turbo car I've owned. Back in 1991 I picked up a new Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. I modified the heck out of that car and it was bulletproof. This was way before anyone even knew about the "fast and the furious" …. I had HKS and Stillen parts all over that vehicle. Launching a manual tranny AWD turbo taught me a lot about "hookup on the boil" !
Really loved that car and added a serious audio system to it. I had to get rid of it in 2005, once I was married, because I was concerned about safety with my new bride. (No airbags etc.)
But it was the car I took her in for our first date.
(Next dinner out was in my E46)

Anyway I look forward to the rush of turbo power again
