I had a 1971 Toyota FJ40, and built a 1992 supercharged Camaro with a mini blower. Those were my coolest, but also a couple Fiero’s, a Z32, and an E30.

…also the guy that rode a bicycle everywhere '09-'14 got hit 7 times, with the last one disabling me. So don’t get too bent over car stuff. I’ve put in over 170k miles on a bicycle since '09.

My previous car was a civic type R (FK8). Not the rarest car, but it was one of the last to come off the factory floor before they closed the factory and ended production for that version, so it was pretty much impossible to buy. Fucking great car. Loved it.

I had a Mazda MX-6 as my first car. Not super rare but I’ve only ever seen 2 other ones.

Currently I have an 09 Lexus GS460. Only 1600 total built and only 56 in 2009 so it’s exceptionally rare but no one cares.

Turns out a $65000 V8 sedan didn’t sell well when gas was $4/gal and the economy was in shambles.

Oh yeah! That is SUPER rare. I painted and did auto body repairs for used car lots. I’ve worked on thousands of cars and only worked on purple once.

I modified the crap out of an Eclipse spider, all the way down to welding intercoolers amd exhaust, to grinding out maniffolds, and rebuilding transmission on my front porch. Super reliable, too (rare for that car), and was close to an AWD conversion (had the doner) before I sold it for a twin turbo 335i I got for a steal that is on it’s 4th water pump after 13 years :(
