Hello Nico!
My first vehicle was a '89 Pulsar, which didn't live very long due to idiotic friends. Currently I am located in Germany with my husband who got me into cars and modifying them. As of right now we own a 1997 BMW 335i and a 1991 Toyota MR2. When we return to the states he is giving me his 1985 200sx as use for my first project car. Also we are looking into purchasing a 1992 Nissan N14 GTiR for me to drive. Hopefully we will see the states again in July for Import Alliance!

sorry no pictures as of right now. We bought it from a junk yard for $650 and it's sitting in one of our friends garage with a new motor and parts. It had a horrible engine knock, but other than that a very clean body!

All the GTiR's around Ramstein are trash, stay as far away from them as possible.

Mind if I ask your reasoning behind this opinion?

Because I owned one and knew everyone else who owned them. They're all beat to hell (especially my old one) and most were driven by some of the dumbest folks on the base.

This one seems to be in pretty decent shape. When were you over here?

The last time I was over there was Sept of last year. Same GTiR's laying around owned by either as dumb or dumber owners.

I know most of the guys bring japanese cars over and try to sell them for a fortune. I am so sick of seeing r33 GTS-T's being sold for retarded amounts. Hell there was a s15 silvia that was going for 19k and it was pretty much stock.

Yea, all the cars there are sold for atrocious amounts. There used to be a business right next to the Pizza Hut off the B40 that sold import cars at a massive price. We got paid to run them from Baumholder to the business, not a bad chunk of change.

If I was stationed back over there, I'd probably grab a mk II Golf. Tons of them around, lots of them in pick and pulls (tons right there in Kindsbach junkyard), and they can take tons of beating, so much less breakdowns between trips to Hockenheim/Spa.

I am not a big fan of VW's. I really like the pulsar but the guy hasn't even emailed us back so it may be sold anyway.
