    lol these are only like 30k new.

    If that was a financial mistake, perhaps the plate should stay “STILLPOOR”.

    This, I should mention, is coming from someone who has never had $30k in his life and drives an older model of one of these cars (which i fucking love, btw).

      Only 30k”!?

      You’re fucking joking, right? Twenty years ago a $30,000 car was expensive and unobtainable for me, and it still is today. I can only dream of owning a car that expensive. My budget has never been above $10K, and that’s why I drive a 350Z.

      It’s not that the car is relatively affordable that has made him poor, it’s the mods. I’ve seen people spend multiple times the MSRP of a car in mods alone, which is a poor decision to do with this car because it’s entire purpose was to be an affordable sports car.

        Couldn’t be me.

        Totally not waiting for a ~4000eur parts delivery for this exact same model of car tomorrow.

            Nah, I want it to stay completely legal (turbo conversions would either be illegal or cost tens of thousands to get TUV approved here) It’s just a bunch of NA mods, headers, new exhaust, flywheel, all that
