I started with a 300 HP turbo Supra, and now I'm driving the last year Miata to have a 1.6, which on top of that, has a short nose crank.

At least the Supra will be getting a standalone and intercooler in a while

I started with Honda's tried every other brand and decided they all sucked and broke alot..So now I'm back to Honda's...I enjoy having a decently reliable car thats cheap and easy to fix.

I like how people get a (insert "high end" car here) and think there too good to drive a Honda and bash on them every chance they get.

my first car was/is a honda...i like it because it is good on gas, cheap to fix and its just nice...but i do believe hondas are a gateway to other cars...i see a 240 in the future...perhaps a trans am...

my taste in cars is very random

I dont hate on them since i still drive one but i know what you mean.Joe Bucci "Mitsubucci" and "Tampa Mike" started with honda's too and have moved on also.Joe holds the fastest stock turbo fwd dsm record and Mike built a low 10 second hatch.Mike i guess is selling parting the honda and just bought a GTE swapped Sc300.We all start slow but eventually make the platform faster or go to one that will.

I started off with an 85 Jetta, and it was actually fun to drive for a cheap first car. Then I went without a car for a little over a year while I was all over the country for boot camp and schools, which was not enjoyable. Then I wanted something fast so I got a del Sol, fun but not fast and I figured I would spend too much money making the NA beast that I wanted so I got rid of it and got the S13 I have now. I think I am a little behind the power curve, I've been driving for close to 10 years and have only had 3 cars of my own, guess I just have trouble getting rid of my old toys.

I started off with my 97 SC2, got in a wreck which totaled it out. I then got my 98 SC2, got a POS 92 that I was gonna build, and then my current DD/POS a 95 SC2. Wtf I am addicted to Tupperware...

But I learned tons from not having any aftermarket, industry support, or even a huge community. I had to do it almost all on my own. It lead me into school and I became a Mercedes Benz Tech... But here I stand now bout to get rid of all them and get a better platform (RWD or AWD.) I just liked being different and suprising people. The look on there faces are PRICELESS. And all the bashing/ under estimating I got from it just made me realize people are idiots. You can make anything fast or w/e but you gotta put the time and money into it!
