First car was a horrible gold 98 camry i4 auto. God i did horrible things in that, looking back idk how it could even accelerate.

Second car was a 1995 camry v6 auto. Surprisingly it was a LOT better then the newer 98 camry. It felt more sporty and had a better engine/tranny.

Now i got my 92 SC300 5SPD. I love it soo much, its sick

No, it's NOT a Eclipse... It's a Talon Tsi AWD, fully converted to Eclipse as you can't find a Eclipse here when I bought it.

conversion:
front, rear bumpers, head and tail lights, tail center piece and Eclipse badge, reverse lights, sideskirts, door caps, wheels, wing, 3rd brake light conversion, antenna, airbag, foglights(removed to clear FMIC).

mods:
Big 16G, short route FMIC, 1G crushed recirculated valve, Aeromotive AFPR, Injen intake, KN filter, 2.5 turbo back exhaust, Tokico blue spring and shock kit, Hawk HPS pads on Powerslots, Walbro 255 pump, MBC @ 15psi, Fidanza aluminum flywheel, Prothane engine mounts, short shifter, shifter base and linkage metal bushings, EvoII? steering rack, full Alpine type S components, 12inch Type R sub, V12 mono amp, and Alpine deck... probably more I forgot...

Fixes and DIYs... don't even get me started... it's longer than everything above...

So I went from a 2L that's faster to a GS400 that I'm trying to save gas....

Let's see....

88 celebrity station wagon
95 Dodge Intrepid (what a piece)
96 Camaro Z28 - I was in high school and found out I didn't like a car payment but the torque was awesome
93 Integra RS
87 Supra Turbo 5 spd - Sold it to buy another one
87 Supra Turbo 5 spd - wrecked due to balding tires and wet road
89 Supra Turbo 5 spd - Sold to get something "more practical"
94 Integra LS 5 spd
95 2.5TL

and what I have now.....

My 95 SC300 5 speed. I guess I kinda like the big body, underpowered toyota's.

How did I ever live without a steering wheel that extends when I turn on the car
