One of my best friends runs/owns PandaGarage here in San Diego and currently owns an NSX, a GTS-T R32 Skyline, 2 FD's, and 2 AE86's(one with a Mark III Supra turbo engine). We always discuss the good and bad with all our cars. Currently I own a 90' 240sx with an S14 SR20 and silvia conversion, a 95 240sx, an AE86 GT-S, and an 01 Vette, and am buying one of the FD's from the friend I mentioned above. I love cars. Especially RWD ones. I think the S2k is a hell of a car. You're getting 250hp out of a 2litre N/A engine, tell me that isn't something to marvel at? All the AE86 guys marvel at the performance Honda can get out of their small displacement motors through their V-tec systems. I would never own an S2K, as there is just far too many vehicles I want, and I don't think I'll ever make enough money to get them all.

Also your comments about the Miata are laughable. The Miata owns everything on the track, and if you have a turbo-charged one, you're doing pwnage x 10. Did you know the Miata was designed by college students? Knocking a fellow mazda enthusiast vehicle, really shows where your opinions lay at.

You think the FD is so great? It's handling is world class, but the engine itself has many many things going against it. Reliability, not being able to miss gas stations, lack of people who are able to fix your rotary when it goes out(and if you do the work yourself, good for you, however not everyone is fortunate enough to have a garage, the tools, and the time for such endeavors like us). The S2000 will be around for years to come. We haven't had the RX-7 since 1995/96, and even Japan stopped making them several years ago. Just like the Supra, and the 300zx, and the 3000GT, all have taken a backseat to other car ideas.

Now I can get in a pissing contest with you all day long, but frankly it wouldn't be worth my time. I'd rather spend it with true car enthusiasts, and not close-minded ******** such as yourself. I love cars, and enjoy the company of people who love cars as much as I do, and don't talk **** about proven performance platforms without doing research on it first. It just makes you look ignorant(like your comment about me loving Hondas without finding anything about my taste in cars good show!).

P.S. You think convertibles are for girls. Does that mean my dad who owns 2 Corvette Convertibles, countless other guys with S2ks, Miatas, Corvette Convertibles, Mustang Convertibles, etc etc are all girly? I'm curious. Does something about convertibles give you a complex?

what kind of job do you have to own 5 cars on your own? and more importantly, what the hell do you do with all of them?

I work in sales and putting 6 days a week down for the past 2 years(need a vacation very badly). And what do I do with them? Well the S13 I bought hit in an auction in the front, and have completely rebuilt it and modified it(Suspension, engine, front end conversion, etc etc). The S14 has been my daily driver for the past 2 years, my truck has been used to trailer the vehicles on occassion, as well as bring home said SR20 frontclip, and other parts. The AE86 is more of a fun beater as it's slow as hell compared to any of my other vehicles, but is extremely tossable. The Corvette I just picked up 2 weeks ago for literally a steal($17k with 22k miles), and is quickly becoming a favorite over both of my Nissans. The FD, well, I've always wanted one, and just never was in an opportunity to get one until now. I've got some money saved up, and a friend looking to offload his(it needs work naturally as all but 1 of my vehicles have been like this), and I can't wait to rebuild her, and hopefully make her better. I'm probably going to end up selling both of my Nissans, to help fund the FD's rebuilding process(thinking of an LS1 swap but I haven't decided yet, until I figure out the condition of the 13b). Like my title says, I'm a rear wheel drive fanatic.
