This is cool, but I think he has a zero too many in the price...

An RX-3 is quite a dinosaur, so it would take a bunch of upgrading to bring it up to modern performance standards. Solid axle, leaf-sprung rear, McPherson struts up front, and itty-bitty brakes, to name a few limitations. It looks like the builder of that car may have taken care of that last issue.

I want an E39 Wagon, specifically a 540iT with the 6 speed manual... Failing that, get a 6-cylinder one and swap in an LS1/T56 or something similar.

Wonder how he got an IRS in there?

Those wheels look enormous on that car.

Mines going to be another couple of months.

Meanwhile we have a baby on the way and its due in early July.

It's now a drag race to see which gets here first; a human baby or a car.

I want an LS Juan transplant into my FR-S...that will make the cool car I want. If it remains in the fleet for 7-8 more years this becomes a probable outcome. If my AADD doesn't shuttle it out of the fleet to soon...

Since I am dd-ing a great big teutonic sled, I find meself wanting, even more than before, a Caterham or an Atom just for contrast. Both of which would be ridiculous in this climate. And I could never afford either. Maybe "go-kart" fits the bill better.

Volvo 740 sedan body on a stock car chassis, on the street. Massive box flares, whatever it takes. Think "the love child of 'Nascarlo' and Rusty Slammington'".

Or, slightly more reasonable, this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/322070398910

Since BMW never sold such a beast, they're pretty damn rare. I've seen a few conversions over the years. Often they are 525iT manuals with E39 M5 drive trains swapped in. But if you live in more difficult inspection area, then a 6spd swap in a 540iT is easier to keep legal.

Jeep shortcut or an MX5-RF. It's the fist nice day of spring.

I didn't realize they never made that combination... Wagons are rare enough, I'd just take what I could get, and make it work

I'm not sure if this is cool, but it would definitely be a great kid hauler:
