I enjoy... odd things. MB's scratch my itch for weirdness, but that's not where it started.
I can't just be like everyone else. I have to do my own thing. Mustangs, camaros, WRX, whatever. They're all the same. Like my dad used to say: "You can't swing a dead cat and not hit a (insert whatever common sports car)"
So yeah, I could have a 4 or 500 HP camaro or mustang, but that makes me yawn. Boooring.
One of my cars is a 1988 convertible Rx7. You don't see many of those around. It was also my first car. I bought it in 2004 when I got out of high school. We've been through 3 engines and 3 transmissions so far. That's because I couldn't ever get enough of it. 400bhp from a 1.3liter engine and I still wanted more. So it broke. It's awaiting a new lease on life again. And it'll get it.. eventually.
My other ride is a bit more obscure, and I'd be surprised if anyone here knows anything about it.
A 1992 Oldsmobile Achievable SCX. Production was limited to 1146 in '92, and only 500 in '93. GM only produced them for 2 years, and only for the purpose of racing them as "showroom stock".
Equipped with a 2.3L 4 cylinder that produced 190 naturally-aspirated horses and a 5 speed manual transaxle (yes, FWD) that was made by a team-up effort from Getrag and Muncie.
It's all original. My dad bought it new in '92. My brother bought it from him in 2000, and when it died finally, my brother just gave it to me... in pitiful shape. So I have been spending the last couple years restoring it to its former glory. It's perfect for me. Gets zero attention, but is ultra rare and weird. Talk about hard to find parts! Holy cripe they're hard to come by.
