Unlocking Forgotten Memories
Joined March 2023
Car manufacturers need to make fun and silly cars again. Take the Honda City Turbo II, affectionately called the “Bulldog,” for example. It even had an optional Motocompo, a 50cc foldaway scooter designed to fit in the boot.

Nicknamed “The Green Hell” by Jackie Stewart, the Nordschleife is one of the most feared tracks in the world. This is the 1993 DTM race held on this legendary circuit.

The wonderful racing of Group 5 Super Silhouette. The FIA basically said fuck it, no regulations, so you could mod them as wild as you wanted. The cars were even more powerful than F1 machines of that era. I can never pick which car I like best: the Tomica Skyline, the Nissan

@atbashed They’re stupid as fuck and look ugly. The super low cars that look like they got stomped on because they have so much camber, are also stupid as fuck and ugly

I present to you early 2000s Hot Import Nights car show. The music was loud, the chicks were everywhere, the party was wild, and the cars were, for the most part, extremely riced out lmao… but nonetheless it was insanely fun and exciting to be a part of. And I have some bad news

all men think they’re amazing drivers, great in bed, and funny. in reality you’re probably only good at one of the three, and it’s never the driving. and even if you were, 99.9% of the time your cojones still wouldn’t be big enough to become a race car driver.

Love it when a Toyota AE86 is built for something other than drifting. The BP KRAFT AE86 raced in JGTC, debuting in 1999 with TRD support. It ran a 3S-GTE engine, F3-based rear suspension, and heavily modified bodywork. Tested by Masanori Sekiya, it made 330 PS at 1050 kg. Driven

driving an old beater while having a much higher budget is one of the greatest feelings in the world. “yeah I drive this old pos by choice, not because I can’t afford a better car”
Driving an old beater when you can afford a better car is like showing up at a job interview poorly dressed People will be nice to you but they womt respect you
