Never meet your heroes.
1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4. Replaced nearly every part, twice. While selling it the front aero stopped working again.
1961 Lincoln Continental. Every part is unique just enough to be difficult to fix or replace. Lots of oddities related to vacuum.
Photos aren’t mine but are nearly identical. My vr4 had the chrome wheels from a convertible.
I always loved the 3rd gen Eclipse until i got with my now wife who owned one at the time. The engine blew up at 120k miles and after replacing it, a bunch of other stuff broke to the point that it was sold for scrap value.
I also had a dsm eclipse (1g, fwd turbo), and holy shit that was the most annoying engine to work on. Fun as hell until they need work.
I'm currently putting off replacing the clutch on my 91 Stealth. Otherwise she's doing fine so far honestly but I made the mistake of buying a house at the same time so picking which hole to throw money in is hard.
If it’s not a turbo you’re good. I think the vr4 had a lot more 90’s era electronics to fail too.
That white was good then and still looks good now.

I’m a simple guy:
Good taste. Miata Is Always The Answer.
I drive an NA.
or
You know, the former is a bit expensive to buy
I prefer to just rent a seat when I need it.
I'd love to have a half sized bus, graffiti it out, call it the party bus and just drive people around in it for an hour or so for free. Bet the cops would execute me for that though.
It would be blasting reggae, I'd replace the seats with lazy boys (if I could find a way to make them safe.) And have privacy curtains. It would be the coolest thing for like a week a before impound.
With that rack on the front you don't even need to choose between the two!
The pinnacle of my 'won the lottery' desire from a decade ago was this bus with a livable interior for cross country travel.
Lancia 037, preferably with the Martini livery. I am a man doomed to dream, for this will never happen.
The Stratos that its based on is terrible to drive from what I've heard. The pedals are in such a tight spot that you apparently have to sit a little sideways to drive. Probably a blast though. I'd take a Ford RS 200 too, that era of rally is wild.

Starrion widebody turbo is my absolute bucket-list car, though a Grand National wouldn’t go amiss, and another Ford Sierra XR4x4 would make me happy
Good taste.
Neighbour across the street had one of these on blocks when I was growing up, it's forever seared into my brain as the most beautiful car ever made (sorry Jaguar). I know the engine is garbage but in my dreams I've swapped in a 400-500 hp EV drivetrain
For me it's the Nissan March Super Turbo. I'm a hot hatch fan, and this little car has no business having a turbo or being super charged, yet it has both.

1987 Toyota Tercel SR5 Wagon 4x4. 5-speed
I will never forgive Breaking Bad for making this car cost as much as a goddamn Corvette.

Hey I had an RS for a while, sold it eventually though. Fun as hell. You do anything to yours?
