Where It’s Not Safe
Spoilers are nice if you don't over do them. The one you be seeing on these central Americans, they over do it. shyt is tacky af, they be putting a huge drag spoiler on a fwd civic :russ:
I be wanting to left hook those fakkits in traffic when they do that shyt

Like why put that BIG ass spoiler and ruin the whole car:why:
If you know who Cosky is, the Dominican cat in Hyattsville with a marlboro wrapped Q50 infinity, he started that page up lol
You know him:ohhh: you in the area ? Lol & yeah I went to school round there. Boutta shop around.

Also the Acura Legend Coupe is a classic . But finding a decent clean one is pretty much rare nowadays.

Best bet is just cop a GS300 or IS300. You can find them all over the place.

OP already stated that he’s not a car head and yet y’all showing him these insane cars from the 90’s that most likely has already been molested, and besides that, how is he gonna find a trust worthy reliable mechanic to get him the parts for those old ass cars.

OP, stick to the BRZ since you like it. It’s not fast at all but it’s reliable and you can make it handle like no other. If you want something fast, get a newish Nissan GTR and call it a day. fukk these old ass cars that’s been beat on and probably has rust if it’s not from down south or Cali.

90s German he'll be paying a lot in repairs though. Gotta know what you doing with those. Nice ass cars though, I love 80s





Q50 is a damn good bang for buck, especially if you get the Red Sport with 400hp. Couple mods put you at 500 and you get AWD. I can help shake the cheapness of em though, guess that's what happens when you compare them with BMW/Mercedes. If I didn't have a choice, I wouldn't mind a Q50:ehh:
Quality is garbage. But these cars are fast and cheap. And with a budget of only 40K you ain't in the price range of top imports. Especially if you want to also buy mods for the car afterward.

Nevermind:scust:

What about Lexus?
You can never go wrong with lexus. SC300/SC400, IS 300 (which also has a NA 2jz), RC F, and LS. No major problems as long as they've been properly maintained.

Parts will be kinda expensive but you should be able to find aftermarket options. You can buy a lexus cheap but keep in mind, they're still luxury cars. So make sure you check the maintenance records cause the previous owner(s) might not have had the money to pay for parts.

Since your budget is 40k the cars I would recommend is the Acura TLX, Lexus IS300, Infiniti Q50, Honda Civic Type-R, Mazda Miata and Nissan 370Z (the 400Z is suppose to come out this year, but it'll be over 40k). If you don't mind Korean cars, then there's the Hyundai Veloster N, Kia Stinger and the Genesis G70 (think of it as an Kia Stinger, but with an more Luxury look).

Tired of the Charger Camaro Challenger combo

Wanna stand out from the crowd with some Japanese sports cars like them 80’s NY drug dealers

Been looking at Subaru BRZ & I remember my Japanese dawg from the military had one & that shyt was sweet

R.ff08e7176fec3c75b0943c9b31ac5045


Any suggestions

Also I been following this page. This one is:whoo:






those are exspensive and hard to get, not to mention they are old (90s era) last year I saw a guy with a skyline R34 I believe that he got from Japan, was a bytch to import.

I had a Zenki S14 240sx that I sold a while back. Fun little car.

S15's are "technically" illegal until 2024, and a bytch to register. Not to mention driving a RHD car in a LHD country is super awkward, I would know.

:ohhh:

@Hennessypapi These here are the ultimate drug dealer cars back the 80s and 90s. They went for euros at that time.

They didn't go for jdm cos it had that luxurious vibe to it yet. Euros were the today jdm's hype back in the days. JDMs hype didn't blow up until the early 2000 thanks to fast and the furious, initial d and 12 year old supra fan boys.
Benz and Bimmer yes, but also Acura, Lexus and Infiniti had hella shine in the 90s.
