I am usually killing the middle of the pack but not this time. I can't believe I aced those two. Either I'm not hanging out in AI enough or I am hanging out there too much.

I took "want to own" a bit too literally. A 911SC / Carerra, aside from the currently-inflated purchase price, is something I could reasonably keep running and insured. A F40, not so much.

Which is the exact reason I can't believe I'm alone on that choice. That car was everything rad about the '80s along with neon colors and two dimensional geometric shapes.

After seeing the photo of the 959 I am formally saying I would take that instead. :flashfap:

Unless :thejoke:, what? I just helped my friend push his FD around a parking lot yesterday to get it loaded onto a flatbed and couldn't help but admire how beautiful it is.

I will admit that the FD in stock form should have been my answer for #3 though. I drove one 3,000 miles once across the country and it felt so slow I thought something was wrong with it.

Now it has an LS3, so the slow problem has been resolved. But also that's the car I was helping load onto a flatbed, so take it for what it's worth.
