Default Convertibles, mostly…

First-gen S2000 in red: amazing shifter, super high redline, so much fun to drive!

Second-gen S2000, also in red. I added a turbo to this one, which gave it some much needed torque and sounded incredible. Still really miss this one.

CTS-V wagon with the 6 speed manual. Practicality without losing fun. This car was awesome: sounded so good, was incredibly solid and really well built. Added an exhaust and intake which really made the supercharger sing.




Since I love convertibles and Italian things, I bought a Fiat 500 Abarth convertible. It was such a riot: snarling popping tiny fun. I’ve never had so much fun driving slowly!




Continuing the Italian trend, I bought an Alfa Romeo 4C, which is a carbon fiber tubbed mini supercar. It’s Italian in all the best ways. I got a Giulia Quadrifoglio to join it, which sadly got totaled during the pandemic.






I currently have an Alfa Romeo 4C for weekends & track days, with the LC as my daily. We just got a Hyundai Ioniq5 as our first electric and I have to say it’s fantastic. Really easy to drive, quiet, practical and surprisingly fun!

It’s called Shooting Star, it’s a matte gray. (With gratuitous shot of the LC)

I’ve had many sports cars over the years, but one stands out.

2005 35th Anniversary Edition 350Z. I was the original owner. I sold this 17 year old car in mint condition last summer with 67K mileage.

I loved this car…not the fastest, definitely not the most comfortable. It felt like driving a go cart…you feel every bump on the road. But damn was this car responsive and fun to drive.

And I thought going from a 2017 ES 350 UL to my LC 500 was the ultimate upgrade!

Wow!!!

And welcome to the forum!!!!

NIce to see another BC guy here. Why you sell it man. 350z's are going up in price and yours has the makings of a future collectible for sure. NIssan's really lost their way recently (looking at you... R35 refresh) and those older Nissans are holding their values like no tomorrow. You remember when R32 GTR's were only 10k canadian? or R33's for 25-30k? or even R34GTR's for 50-60 (i thought it was too expensive). im kicking myself for not buying some of those before. S14's S13's are all too the moon cars now.

LC500 is modern day 928. Sadly model Porsche no longer makes and have not made since '95 928 GTS.

I luved my 928S4 bought it new at the time, it was white over dove gray with black deviated carpets etc. With all the great vehicles I’ve been blessed to have, I really prefer GT cars over sports cars as they offer the best compromise of both the sport and lux worlds.
