Re: which type of cars do you like

I build R31 skylines, lol...at least thats the way it seems , I've now got 3 coupes and a 4 door hardtop..
But I mianly build japanese cars up to about 1989, though I have a soft spot for 60's muscle cars and hotrods.

I build almost anything that's looking good and/or is a subject that appeals to me in other ways. Not only cars even if that is my main focus.

I like cars in general, no specific type or category.

I like building models of cars that I like-sometimes it's because of color, shape-sometimes it scratches an itch for wanting the 1:1 car, sometimes I build models of cars that I wouldn't want to drive, but for some reason I think seeing it in model form is cool.

I'll build tuners, old American cars, old-school Japanese or European, exotics of any era, show cars, classics, muscle cars, sport bikes.

I drive a white '96 Miata, I have all the reference in the world in the garage, I have Tamiya Miata and Eunos kits and Revell Miata kits but I haven't had the urge to build it yet (it's been painted for 5 years)...it's more fun to drive than to build. More fun to build what I don't have, or what I would dream to have. I had a Taurus SHO from '91-'94, I have that kit and tons of photo reference I took from my car, and it still sits in a box. It was a lovely car, but a fucking lemon. It was fast, but a bitch to own. Don't know if I'll ever build it, though a model of it would be incredibly cool...I loved how the car looked, and loved the Yamaha engine...it looked incredible, sounded incredible, and was quick (though today tons of cars would spank it in performance).

In real life, I prefer owning Japanese imports. But I love most any performance-oriented car, I love seeing restored muscle cars, pro-touring cars, billet rods and rat rods, factory show cars, and any classic that is worthy of a concours d'elegance.

basically everything. There is'nt a type of car I don't like. I've own a American/Japanese 1995 Geo Prism, and a Korean 2001 Hyundai Accent. I build everything from 20's street rods to Tuners.

Good old fashioned American Muscle. It's what I want 1:1, and it's what I want on my shelves. It's in the posters on the walls. (well, aside from the Murceilago and the Mclaren...) Hot Rods just have history and charisma; they embody the American dream. Imports are cool and all, I guess I just hold a personal grudge against tuners and well, rice because they destroyed a legacy of street racing in my home town. Before "that movie" you would see 9-second street cars out at County Line, battling for the TRUE fastest street car title. Like Buddy's '67 Chevelle with a 502 and a supercharger. Dragsters were often trailered out for test n' tune on empty highways. The cops looked the other way because hey, at least we weren't drinking. Brute power pounded the two-lane blacktop, leaving two wide swatches of rubber as far as the headlights could see. Exhaust so loud it'd make your heart skip a beat, and the smell of C-16 race fuel filled the air. That's how I spent my high school nights, out in the middle of no where with people who called the stuff "nitrous" instead of nawwws and who loved nothing more than racing the same kind of car their daddy drove.

Then the fast and the furious came out, ricers flooded the streets in their 19-second neons, endangering little old ladies crossing the street and the street racing legend of West Texas. Now, if you're caught street racing, (which is very loosely defined by law), you 1)go to jail 2)are fined sometimes thousands of dollars AND 3)have your car impounded.

However, I find rally racing very entertaining

Sports cars...
Mostly european, throw in a mild custom or a pickup truck even some asian 'tuner' wheels from time to time.
Lets see, I'm working on a 300ZX vert., a custom New Beetle, a Diablo roadster.

As for real cars, I've been driving Supra's for almost 20 years.
