Diggerdan11 Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Eagle Talon TSI AWD This:cheers: Such a fun little car. There was guy in my hometown selling one on craigslist a couple months ago. It was a 95 80k miles TSI AWD, it would not start. He only wanted $500 for it. I called him ASAP and he said he sold it within 5 minutes of posting it. If I had 3-5k I would try to look for a 1993-1998 Z28 Camaro. For 5k You might be able to find a 1996-1999 BMW M3 (which is one of my favorite cars ever). Or maybe a Mitsubishi 3000GT but for 3-5k there is no way you can find the awesome VR-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 A smart car.Then drop a supercharged Viper V10 in it. Not a V10, but a hayabusa engine certainly livens the smart car up a bit <iframe width="640" height="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fiNr2plofKE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianT Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Anyone have any experience with mid-80s Toyota Supras? I always liked those. I like the looks! I am not sure on the towing capacity, it might be only 1000lbs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marylander Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 Love those cars Rich! Me too -- when I was 15 in 1984 I wanted my dad to buy one of those SO badly. And now I can't even remember the last time I saw one on the road around here. To find one mint would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_pappy Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I've actually looked at those with an eye toward making it into a real handler, but Im 6'2" and just can't get comfortable in them (though I could always swap in a racing seat, but m not sure I want to go down that road...) Cool ideas in this thread. Speaking of subarus, anyone heard more about factory five's plans for a WRX based kit car? There is a company building Porsche Speedster replicas with WRX running gear, but way more than 5k. I was thinking maybe a Miata for your needs also. Have fun.

Very nice looking and it didn't look at all like a "girls" car when he was done! That episode airs again several times next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ1o87 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I would probably buy an 80's toyota corolla or something of that nature. Then I would terrorize the neighborhood by running over everyones garbage cans. Oh, I've also always wanted to run over those big orange construction cones. I have problems.

You don't need 3-5k for an 80's Corolla. And yea, you clearly have issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
