In 2021 I bought the car of my teenage dreams at an auction in Japan and then sent it to
@tommyfyeah for a mechanical makeover. He went through it, replaced and upgraded everything with either Nismo or HKS parts, and created a 400-wheel-horsepower OEM+ monster. The sounds, power, and driving experience surpass my pimple-faced, Gran Turismo 3-playing dreams, but it turns out I live on a gravel road, don’t have a garage, and am more into camping and hunting than track days, so I decided this week to get rid of it. I listed it on Marketplace and wrote about the painful realization on my Substack. I love me a road trip, and more so than just selling it, I’d love to trade it for something else, deliver it, and do a road trip back home. Hell, maybe I’ll make a short film about it or do a write-up for my Substack about it. May is the perfect time for a road trip... Off the top of my head, I’m interested in a combination of an old BMW (E30, E36, E46) and cash or a a 4x4 van of sorts that I could drive up my mile-long gravel road. For a full parts list, check out the link in my profile or DM me.
