Big wheels are FWD though . I thought we learned at an early age that FWD sucked?

I never personally owned a Big Wheel... But the neighbor did and I certainly did learn that FWD sucked because that cawksucker had a plastic front wheel and my neighbors drive way had quite an incline to it and you could barely get up it

Eventually the plastic wore right through to the point that the wheel split... On the other hand, it was great for FWD burn-outs when trying to pedal up the hill and you had just enough traction not to roll back, but not enough to successfully bring you up the hill lol...

I've driven way too many cars to start naming off ones that I had fun with (worked at many dealerships, auto-detailing places and valet jobs lol)

But of the cars i've owned I'll always have a special place for my 5th Gen Celica and my RX8... (My old Honda Odyssey Dune Buggy was sweet-*** too, but no good pics of it as I owned it almost 10 years ago lol) My first car was a GMC Tracker... Then I sold it and bought the Celica and another Tracker as a winter beater... I've since sold the Celica and now I have my RX8, a Civic and a Tracker for the winter lol)

My bro's 87 TransAm GTA is a blast to drive aswell... 4.11 Gears, Cam, Headers, Exhaust, Chip, Shift-Kit, Mickey Thompson Street Slicks and a handful of other goodies...

I was spoiled as a teenager. I got to drive a Ferrari before I was 16. I delivered Rod Stewarts Lambo Countach (with real gold plated wheels) to his house.

One of the reasons I am in to RX7's is that at 16 I got to take one for a week or so, and it was the most fun car I had driven at the time.



But the one that had the most character was a Muira I played with one day

i bet the big wheels was the quickest. and i remember making those things power slide. as for car wise, i was pretty lucky as a teenager, 93' firebird, a 00' grand prix GTP, and a 04' mustang GT, and a 2007 mustang GTR- Regency. dont let the fact that they were mustangs fool you. the o4' was quick and the 07' GTR has been known to eat a few corvettes.

I think the most fun I ever had driving until I got my 8 was my old MK3 Supra. I've had Beetles, an MGB which I could kick myself for selling, the 05 GT Mustang that I traded in for the 8, and a couple of BMW's.

I'd love to have gotten my hands on that Monte Carlo though, or my former brother in law's 442. That thing was the Shiznit back in the day! He never would let me drive it though. I wanted that car SO bad, and he sold it to his nephew which promptly totaled it before he ever got out of his uncles neighborhood.

Funnest cars/things I have driven:

1972 Porsche/VW 914 2.0

1989 Chevy Corvette-my brother had it when I first turned 16, first experience w/oversteer was my first left hand turn in that.

1991 Mazda Miata-sure Corky Romano drove one, but the most fun you can have w/1.6l

2006 Mazda RX-8 Sport-it didn't have as much of a problem with oversteer as the Corvette

2001 Honda CBR929RR Erion Edition-I bought that when I was 21 after the insurance company quoted me $730 to insure it for a year. I called them back and thought I got it added to my insurance and they called me back to tell me they couldn't even insure it at all. I had it for a month and sold it for $650 more than I bought it for. It had full Micron exhaust with a CF can, K&N intake and powercommanderII. I felt more comfortable on it than any other bike, which is probably good that I had to get rid of it, I probably wouldn't be writing this today.

Robinson SST-great for the track, full 4130 chro-moly.
