while I am waiting for the insurance to get their *** moving on it...
I am considering a few cars to buy....
so could anyone point me out to something like our forum for these cars:
1. Toyota Supra
2. SC400
3. MR2
4. 3000GT
5. RX7

I want to do a research on reliability issue.
Anyhow..if I am not getting another max or if my max is fixable from a hatchback to a sedan...I am gonna sell my mods, not much, but stay tune

don't get rx7 then. those apex seals like to blow.
supra is nice, but probably not a good daily... of all those.. if practicality is not a concern, I'd get the MR2... it's fun fun fun

3000GT is neat, but heavy.

SC400, can't see you in one.

I've had experience with several RX-7s of all generations, and they're generally very reliable cars. Just take care of them and make sure any you buy has been taken good care of

Hi Shing,
Why not the sc400? ^_^ Btw..congrats on the S2000, that is one Honda Technology Showcase

well anyhow...the MR2 is kinda small, but probably a very kick *** auto-xing machine.
everyone pointed the supra way......I don't know if I can get one reasonably price.
I need to get into something that is an all around rounded performance car.
I do not care about loud exhaust and stiff springs
but I do worry about reliability...(I guess no rotary engine and bad seals for me) and performance.
So anyone else want to direct me the right way in my quest?
beside supra that is
I thought the 3000GT has some reliability issue in it..just from reading carpoints in microsoft...someone clear this one up for me too please...
Oh hey...no more flame wars from whatever that thing was about VR4! ^_^
