Is it manual?

The champagne one isn’t but my other one is, which is really the only reason I’d sell this one over my other one. It’s substantially faster than my manual one and I actually drive it more often because it’s hilarious; makes around 300awhp and external wastegate vented to atmosphere gives me the giggles. I am constantly on the fence though, and I’d sell the other one if it came down to someone wanting it more.

This is the other one. Stock height and slower than the champagne one, but other than the surface rust on the front fenders that just started this winter it’s super clean. Interior looks brand new and it’s a Limited so it has the heated leather/heated windshield/massive sunroof (although so is the other one)

The first one I was like oh those look like Ram vans. But then I thought, how many of those could there be in Japan? The answer apparently is quite a few, all of which are drift-ready and I love it.

Don't most states do this? Washington State calls it "use tax" and it happens to be very close to the sales tax rate.

Yeah, I know. At least in our state you can write "gift" for the price on the title and not be taxed. They only basically ask what your relationship is.

But boy they don't like refunding license plate fees/taxes.

In PA they don’t even ask anymore about the relationship if you say gift, but you have to find a seller/buyer who is willing to go along. Just abolish the tax; most people skirt it somehow.

Roatry13B1.com had a sale, so I finally bought myself a Felix for 1/2 price (they were out of the even larger one already) and a keychain for my '79. The "BRAP BRAP" key tag and sticker were bonuses added by the company. Sweet!

Well thanks to you I just ordered a Felix and four t-shirts.

Got the go-kart out for the first time in a few months today. After taking a while to start and warm up, we remembered how much we love it. 12hp modified predator with a Mikuni. When it’s fully warmed up it will hit 45 in the driveway, according to the GoPro.

Needless to say my son didn’t want to get off the thing.

Echoing the sentiment that I would buy an S660 TODAY if Honda had them in the US. Unfortunately people like us are in the minority and they’d never have a big enough market. Hell, I want to buy a Beat, if I can find one I really like I’ll jump on it.

And the fact that most people like "you" really mean "I'd buy one...used." (Not calling you guys out specifically, just saying in general) Cheap enough that it may be better in this case maybe but every time I see that about wagons or whatever model-usa-doesn't-get it's always the same. It comes here, sells like garbage then exits the market again. Most car enthusiasts just don't buy new but love to act like they do online. :lol:

Can't blame anybody. Cars are too drat expensive. I have no illusions that I'm going to buy new for some time though.

I totally get and agree with your point in general but I literally mean right now. In cash. With a smile on my face the whole way home and every other time I drove it until the eventual heat death of the universe.

And yes I know I’m infamous for changing cars like people change underwear but to my credit I’ve kept my current Si that I bought new for over two years, and my EP3 and S2000 are almost that long in the fleet as well.
