Yes it was mostly partly due to motorex and the way they did business. Motorex was the only certified business that our federal gov sponsored to convert all skylines for US specs well they did a sting op on motorex and found out they were charging customers something like 40-50grand and they werent doing a dam thing to them to make them legal.

So they decided to ban the car. Now since motorex did convert the r32 and r33 they decided to let those slide but are still very strict on them.

Yea I know seriously. The great thing here in socal is it barely rains. I think here in san diego we get less than 5in of rain a year. I know cause I barely see it rain here. However, in the last couple days I have seen it rain more than it has in the last 10months combined. So because of the awesome weather here we can enjoy the atom that much more. I dunno IMHO where I ma coming from the atom is definitely worth the money. I guess if you lived in seattle it wouldnt be.

Hands down it would be the Nismo R34 GT-R Z-Tune. More rare then the Enzo and much much harder to get.

Because by the time I can buy the F430, the MKIV Supra is too old and the R34 GT-R will be too old to find and mod. I have a thing about not buying a car that's older than 10 years old. There are too many things to deal with when it comes to significantly old cars. One of my friend bought a 94 Supra to build but the poor guy spent a huge amount of money just getting the car up to specs to mod.

Wow, some people's sights are pretty low for the realistic dream car.

Realistic: Porsche 911 Turbo
Unrealistic: I suppose something like a Carrera GT, but who knows, that might be realistic as well
