    Went to the store in the RX-7 just to drive around. Came back out and a Green 260Z was parked next to it. Nice.

    There's a Red 944 on chrome Fuchs that's started to come out as well. Mostly it's just some variation of late 70's Short/Wide Chevy 2WD in Red on TT2's (I swear there's FIVE in my neighborhood!). Found out the new neighbor 2 houses down has a White C3 droptop Vette...

    I saw an R8 on Easter weekend when I visited my sisters in Vermont. It got a "meh" from me; my parents loved it (they like Audi's current style). I was surprised my mom liked it, she doesn't get sports cars.

    There's an R32 GTS-T and an S13 drift car that show up often at the local PepBoyz. I want to talk to the R32 owner so bad! The R32 is my favorite Skyline, and I still dream of making an RB26DETT GTS-T. Twin turbo I-6 + RWD = win.

    I saw a Ford GT on the highway yesterday when I was headed to work. I cargasmed so hard, I damn near plowed into it. Sexiest. Car. EVAR.

    Besides those, I've seen a metric arseton of musclecars come out of hibernation- Challys old and new, Chevelles, C3 Corvettes, Camaros, Mustangs, the list goes on and on.

    My FC gets some attention itself. It was apparently really popular in my area when it came out. I get a lot of compliments on how good a shape it's in and a few stories from former RX-7 owners.

    A guy at work owns a 928S and is considering doing some amateur racing... Time to bring him to the dark side.

    I saw a new Skyline for the first time last night. The wheels are monstrous.

    And yes, I love how nice weather brings the nice cars out. And good-looking girls in skirts

    I had a run-in with an F430 while I was in the 7...

    It's bizarre that it's all red with a black hood/nose trunk panel? I've seen him around a few times since then.
