Itz JDM y0!
Has anyone driven the Genesis 2.0T/3.8 and the FRS/BRZ/GT86? Friend is deciding between the 3. I've only driven the FRS, and it was amazing so I'm steering him toward that. But they're selling Genesis' for pennies on the dollar.. A $27k 2.0T can be had for $21-22k before negotiations (listed discount on the website http://www.hubhoustonkaty.com/Vehicl...-TX/2195823853)

That said, that is a dirt cheap price for a Genesis 2.0T! Is he getting an automatic or manual though? I personally wouldn't get an automatic FR-S. The car is already lacking in power, having an automatic sap the car of its soul would make the deficiency even more pronounced.

He better not crash into anything, might castrate himself with the steering wheel.

I guess nobody told him he's too big for the car.

well sure. but does it look like there's a lot of room for his leg to move? it's right up next to the steering wheel!

Damn that looks snug.
McLaren F1 still holds the crown as car I'd like to drive the most though. Probably get myself killed on the track, but it would be worth it.

Ooh. I don't think I can put my finger on one car I absolutely want to drive over anything else.

It's easy for me. One of a kind. As much as I love Mr. Bean, in my naive younger years I was furious when I found out he wrecked his. But now I would know how much a car like that would beckon for you to drive it hard.

I did not know about this. The F1 came with a titanium toolset. Gordon Murray was dead serious about cutting weight.

What the fuck are they supposed to do with those tools?
#8546
One on the right for me
Plus the pliers are regular steel. Not really sure what you would use those big ass pliers for. I guess if you want to spend $1,500 on something different this is one way to do it.

FWIW, most of the F1 teams use FACOM tools. When I went to the garages at the Detroit Grand Prix in the 80's virtually every team used them. They SnapOn of France.
I knew about the Kenwood stereo but not the watch or tools.

LOL is that a real recaro from 1980s or just a badge?
anyways. I found this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-S2000-Base-Convertible-2-Door-2005-honda-s-2000-low-miles-39-k-runs-great-rebuilt-title-/251507010392?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3a8efc6b58&item=251507010392&pt=US_Cars_Trucks
Even though it has a rebuilt title, but seems the car is in good condition. Resale value does not really matter since the car will be kept for a long time.
what you guys think about cars that have rebuilt title?
