I had a 89 probe gt turbo with 190,000 miles on it and it was sick fast. Who ever had it before me definetly did something to the turbo cause it would hit about 16 psi all the time at wide open throttle. I wasted many a fast cars with that thing, with questionable tires on it.

rx8 (forgot what year...I think 04?) I drove it on 2 seperate occasions. The first was before I modded my suspension (trd struts and trd springs) and man the suspension was WAY to soft. Not to mention the visibility sucked big time on all sides!

But one of the most fun I've ever had test driving was an 03 MR2 spyder. Those little things can move! That was definetly a fun car to drive

1st test drive of a GTS Celica before buying mine. For perspective my car at the time was an '86 toyota van. Used to the Celica now, still makes me smile tho.

a friends lifted F-250, it was cool how i could see over all the cars infront of me only thing is that you can't turn too quick cause then it'll flip over but the off-road tires are annoying cause there loud.

Suzuki SX4. It drove very well, and has a lot of featuers for the price. It's small, it's AWD, and it comes with a 5-speed. I like!

The other one is the latest RAV4 with the V6. Holy smokes does this thing haul ___! If only I had the cash and it were available with a manual trans.
