Earlier today, I did a Quick Match in the 500 PP Sportscar race. The car list involved a NSX Type R, which would be the typical winner in a race, so to spice things up a bit, I picked the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. I was then reminded of how much of a pig it handled. I changed my driving style for the track, and I realized that this car has some handling potential (I believe there is some form of computer trying to keep the car flat and level so that's why it understeers like hell). That's when I decided to buy one in the unique Jade Millennium (?) metallic color and made a 500 PP AIT (Akira Ishikawa Tuning) Skyline. Boy, can she handle now. I bet it could keep up with the NSX Type R in the corners too.

Then I had a thought: Imagine, if you will, that you're awake at 6:30 in the morning

The sky is blue, the birds chirping, and more importantly, the roads are quiet

That's when you walk out into your garage, and you find this beast waiting for you

You start her up, put it in gear and roll out into the road. You slowly start putting your foot into it, and at a good spot too

You had her tuned professionally, so everything is working at it's finest. The brakes, the suspension, special wheels, even the aero kit

You then look over and see a magnificent view of the lake, so you slow down and embrace the natural beauty

Later up on the road is a nice, curvy bridge, so you step on it some more

Tarmac, earth is now under you and the corners are light, so you hit it and you feel the twin turbocharged Inline 6 growling away, the car expressing it's driving soul

You then feel the sun rising and you remember that this is from the land of the rising sun

Harder, harder you push until you get to one of the most awesome and stunning views of the road ahead

You slow down, pull over and bask in the view.
Perfect scenery, joyful road, stunning car.
What more could you want?

What's your perfect car?
