FSU, that's one nice looking Lude there. Makes me yearn for my '97 Prelude again- that's actually the reason I bought my first '92 SC. Some dumbass off his face on pain pills took me out. Grrr.

As far as a replacement goes, that's difficult. I've had a 93 Z, a Scooby WRX, Audi S4 and a few others. I'd probably replace it with a 928S4, and spend forever griping about the repair bills.

I'm looking into an Eclipse or another Audi for my DD. If you've read my thread on living in Des Moines with a RWD car, then you know of my driving adventures. Need something with AWD, and I really don't want to chance someone taking me out in bad weather.

Thanks bro! Yeah...my Prelude is clean and fixed up pretty nicely....I am a big Volk's fan so running some GT-N's on the Lude and am still deciding between some new Volk's, Work, or SSR for my SC400.

I have always loved the SC's and they have so much potential...I got tired of my BMW 7 series and all of the headaches that come with BMW's so when I saw my current SC I jumped on it.

My old BMW was super clean though...its just the computers and electronics I hated on that car

Having almost gotten my SC to where I want it, parting with it now would be a tragedy. Need to enjoy it for a while and was going to go from once a week to two days for the trip to work but with the gas prices hiking up of late not in so much of a hurry.

If money was no object and I did not care about reliability, likely an Aston Martin DB9 or Vanquish.

Reality wise, a Porsche Caymen S (a few years old) was on the list before I decided to enhance the SC.

The idea of enhancing our cars to something you want is appealing. Anyone can go to a car lot and drive off with a new car but so can a thousand other people - what I have seen on these threads are mostly unique and reflects everyone's various tastes and budgets. Just wheels alone is an adventure and there are a lot of choices all of which look great on the SCs.

Just saw a very nice clean M30 'vert (USDM Nissan Leopard) for 3. Wouldn't be so bad selling and having a few G's of cash left over with a unique car.

If I had to replace it with something similar, I would only replace it with an FD and eventually get an engine swap. My friend has an FD with a LS1 and it rustles my jimmies in all the right places.

I would probably buy another SC but already boosted, MKIV Supra, or an FD RX-7.
