Re: Childhood car lust
Tat concept reminds me of that ford gt-90 concept. I used to think it was pretty cool looking. For some reason I've always loved prowlers. I would love to get one and swap something useful in it.

Re: Childhood car lust
I recently started seeing cars I used to always want as a kid, I guess since the weather has been getting bearable, and it made me want them again. I can remember seeing all these cars and being so impatient to turn 16 and try and get one of my own. I miss those days, so why not share some nostalgic cars!
I remember only seeing a white Isuzu Impulse RS at a stop light on 17 when I was looking across an intersection. I could never figure out what it was until recently when I saw one that was beat to the ground. I found out these are really rare, AWD, and turbo. It may look weird to some but I've loved it ever since I saw that one.

We rebuilt the car, body shop painted it, and it was auctioned off with a raffle through the school system.

Re: Childhood car lust
Ford sold off many of these concept cars a couple of years back, including one of my favorites the EX. (The buggy looking thing at the front.

Re: Childhood car lust
And iv'e always liked those jags. I also remember playing test drive unlimited back on PS2 and doing the final race. You had to use a koenigsegg CCX vs 5 other CCX's around the entire map. That was one of the hardest and downright longest race I can remember in a my game. But ever since then the CCX has been my favorite super car.
And how could I forget seeing Syclone's and Typhoon's back then. Such amazing looking trucks even still.

Re: Childhood car lust
That buggy is very manx-ey, i dig it.
That C10 Skyline is like my boxy dream. Well along with a E30 M3/E38 M5/2002 tii but I'm not picky!
Back to me because i'm special, I've been hung up on that RS200 EVO kit for a couple years now. It looks like it would be such a blast. All the original 80s UK Sierra interior bits, amazing engine access, that sexy suspension... i guess the biggest downside would just be the short wheelbase and not AWD but i'm not gonna complain about the weight savings. There's one post I found online from a guy in the US who looks like he was able to import everything for around 20k. Finding the donor parts is probably a bit harder now but it'd still be cheaper than the other toys I was weighing... an old Viper GTS or NSX.

Re: Childhood car lust
That's pretty much how I've felt. The Viper would be silly as shit but I've always sorta leaned to the fun platforms you don't see too often.
Hah, in addition to the above, I've had a few Sagaris photos in my background rotation as well. As finicky as TVRs are known to be, I'd still love one
