Suzuki Cappuccino and/or FD RX7 or STi.

That and a nicely equipped Mitsubishi Delica.
Come to the Mitty next weekend----- there will be Paos there you can buy and drive home!
even though I don't fit, a Capucino. Friend of mine got one a couple years back. He had to remove the seat to get it on the trailer, an installed a kirkey bolted to the floor as far back as it would go. Super hilarious car. a 3/4 scale Miata.
In reply to Joe Gearin :
My biggest concern with the Pao and lots of contemporary JDM cars is they lack the shoulder belt in the rear seat. I'd be using it to shuttle kids from time to time and I really need shoulder belts.
Mazda Capella Cargo 4WD.
It's the station wagon flavor of the 1988-1992 626 that we got here in the States (they never sold the wagon here). With all wheel drive. And then start doing research into an F2T swap. They look like this;
A vitz for a daily driver, I'd also really like a clean early 240z but think I'd prefer that in lhd since it was offered in the US.
NSX-R in Competition White. But since I couldn't afford that, maybe a 1998 MR2 Turbo GTS in that metallic orange color we never got?
Delica or other brand alternate. 3 row seating, manual 4wd diesel and mild lift. Or Cappuccino with moar turbo.
My friend's dad had a JDM LHD BMW e34 525i automatic and he was super excited about it. It was a complete stripper model and the only thing that made it stand out was having the writing in Japanese.
I'll join the fanboism. I want a Stagea but with the RB, not with the VH like this one
Along that same thought process a Forester STi would be awesome too.
Original Mazda Cosmo.
I had never heard of the Toyota Cavalier. I went out and read some articles and I still don't understand it.
Oh man, I daydream about this all the time while I should be working.
AE86 for my daily tofu grind
Early Evo I-II-III
Celica Alltrac
One of my favorite YouTube channels is Tom's Turbo Garage, and he recently sold his Galant VR4 and bought an Autozam AZ-1 from Duncan Imports. He's done a Figaro build before so I am really looking forward to seeing what he does. One of the many burning questions I have for Duncan's -- how do you keep the fuel system fresh with that volume of old vehicles? I fantasize about doing a fly and drive, but I would think all of the tires would be dryrotted, and where are you going to get Kei car tires in Vriginia for the ride home?
There are some other military YouTubers stationed in Japan that post videos of car lots, and I am always struck by the amount of awesome rides for sale for $5-6k. But once they hit the 25 yr rule and are eligible to be brought home, prices double.
If I lived in Japan, I would drive rally homologation rule cars for the rest of my life.
