Do you guys have a "rite of passage" car?

A certain car that makes you go “I’ll know everything after I get one of these.”

For me it’s an aircooled car.

Mine probably changes every week. for now it’s something styled like a wedge with the engine in the middle

McLaren P1. I might not know everything, but by god I’ll be rich enough to not care.

Don’t get your hopes up, I still don’t have a fucking clue.

It could be air-cooled for me too, but it’d a 911SC. A Ferrari 308 would complete me though.

Mine wouldn’t be a specific car. But a car that has failed you in some way forcing you to overcome a situation.

A two stroke car, that may do it for me. But more in the “sensei teach me patience” type way.

Viper, any Viper. I know I won’t own it for long but I’m betting the experience will be with me for all my life.

Not having a clue.

The day I personally own anything with at least 300 HP. I crave for more power in a daily driver.

I’ve got a few personal ones.

Rotary cars? Mazda RX-8. That’s right, in order to go to ones like the RX-7, Cosmo, REPU, and RX-3, you go through the most recent rotary engined car.

Mazda Miatas? Go from the NA up to the ND.

The 914 also makes a great rite of passage car for Porsche in general.

I say you should go from a standard Subaru Impreza, up to the WRX, then to the STi.

Same goes with the Ford Focus, then to the ST, then the RS.

Should we put the CLA as a rite of passage for Mercedes-Benz, or perhaps a Metris?

Mustangs and Camaros. You have to try one at least once with a V8 to fully understand these cars; affordable ‘Murican V8 speed and horsepower. Even as a faithful Miata owner, I keep getting giddy when I get to drive my father’s ‘Stang. The noise, the acceleration, and the overall feeling of having 300+ hp at the touch of the gas pedal for less than the price of a new base model Camry (if you’re buying a used pony/muscle car).

I got a Corvair that I had to tow home. I have some big plans for this winter, I just had one of my two diffentials setup and verified good yesterday. The other needs major rebuilding.

As a mild lunatic/wrencher I think things will come together when I finally snap and try to daily a v12 Jag.

yes......... its called the “basket case”..............

they come in lots of shapes and sizes, but when you can turn a car into an utter and complete basket case, and then return it being a functioning driving car, you have a decent handle on things........
