My rear end looks exactly the same but white. LOL <3 it!

Just picked up this beauty. 15k original mile bone stock R1. California car all its life. Truly one of the nicest examples I've ever seen.

Took her out for a spin this morning and am absolutely in love.

Thank you. Yes, the paint is in excellent condition, very minor swirl marks I took care of this afternoon. You can tell the previous owner really cared for the car.

And yes, my personal 90's Japanese holy trinity is complete!

I would love to see some pictures of your 3000GT VR-4. A very underrated JDM legend car that i'm glad you have in your collection!

You bet ! For some reason the 3000GT's just don't get any love. This is 1 of 287 VR-4's made in 1999 and 1 of 86 in Glacier White Pearl. She's stock with the exception of SS brake lines. Every time I see 3000GT in the wild I get excited but unfortunately most of them didn't fair to well.

The double edged sword of buying a low mile example is the "low mileage dilemma". I plan on keeping it forever so hopefully I can get over it.

And like you said - the other option is to buy another example to drive carefree, lol.

Here’s my 93 touring, the one that I was up against IMAGINETHAT in auction. Seems like you lucked out getting an R1 with the same mileage. Super jealous, plus you have the holy grail of VR-4’s as well.

I want to make this car more fun but it’s so hard to bring myself to hurt a low mileage stock car. That, and also I’m in college and any money spent on cars means more cup of noodles for dinner. The car is my father’s, but he’s a tad bigger than me and barely fits in it- I’m really the only one who drives it. He won’t let me spend my own money on the car, so I’ll have to wait til I can buy him out or I get my own. One day I want to have a higher mileage car that I don’t feel as bad for modifying and driving hard.

Anyways here’s a couple pics of the car

Beautiful car....I wouldn't say I "lucked out" as I paid significantly more for this car. If I could do it again I would have definitely gone higher in the BaT auction. That said I am happy with what I've got and money comes and goes.....
