My former apprentice has a nice RX8, he had a few JDM cars before that, in about 2 years he cycled through an R34 Skyline, two JZA80 Toyota Supras and a VE Commodore before finally getting the RX8 and finding a car he was happy with.

I looked at the exact same cars plus new WRXs before deciding on a Ranger. Once the mustang is released ill probably look at them so much on car sales that ill have to trade the ranger in and get one.

Wow Studebaker's, I see one maybe every 3 months on the road.
