Since I have all my favorite cars, I decided to shop in the Japanese dealerships. Got myself:
- Toyota Supra 3.0 Turbo '88 Painted it dark metallic red with gold center piece BBS RS wheels. The rest of the body is untouched. Got to keep that awesome 80's sports car looks! Car sounds great with the stock exhaust. Just changed the turbo to give it a healthy 350HP to move all that unbalanced mass. Took some time to make it drive good though. Probably one of my only cars with customizable suspension. But I left the stock height and a very low spring rate setting so it feels like I'm driving an actual Supra. The rest is stock as well so I don't feel I'm driving some generic 2F2F ricer with 10000000HP, turbos and Nos 'yo.
- Mazda RX-7 GT-X FC Nice little car. Very nimble and agile for an old sports car. Doesn't need much power to go around tracks at the same level than newer and more powerful sports cars.
- Mazda RX-7 Type R FD I don't know why I like this one much better than the newer Spirit Type A. It feels different and much more fun to drive. It looks better also with that little spoiler that the first FD's had. Almost stock. Just sports soft suspension, ECU, Sports Cat and LSD set to reduce sudden oversteer. Perfect car.
- Mazda RX-8 Type S Okay, so I made Mazda 100k richer today with all the RX's I bought. This was the last one. I like this car. I can safely say it is a much better car than the RX-7 around the track, even though it's ugly as heck. So fast, neutral and agile in corners. The only downside is the little Renesis that can barely keep up without the aid of forced induction. Easily fixed with a supercharger (Not turbo. Got to be original). It doesn't accelerate as brutally as the RX7's Turbocharged Wenkel, but now the car eats E92 M3's with 100HP less than the legendary German sports car.

I have found myself in love with muscle cars lately. Small fortune was spend on few of the more expensive ones but it was well worth it.
Pozzi camaro - looks the bussiness, bit heavy but handles very well. Was really surprised how much grip it had on stock tyres.
Red Devil - torque monster, tune it up to 650pp and go destroy some competiton in tuned cars race on apricot hill.
Premium shelby 350gt - fully tuned has "only" 650bhp but it only weight ~1060 kg. Bit of a challenge at the beginning but rewarding when you get it right.
Using g27 set to 675° rotation.
Have fun!

I bought a Sileighty, to try and make it look like the one from Initial D. Didn't have the colors for it though.

I bought many race cars,
Panoz Esperante GTR-1 '98- I like the car a lot. I fully tuned it. A great top speed. It understeers a little bit, but some setups will help.
Nissan Fairlady Z LM Race Car- This car is fine, I didn't liked it so much in GT5, here I start to like it. It's easy to control it and has a decent acceleration. Starting to like it. But my Zonda is my favourite.
BMW McLaren F1 GTR Race Car '97- It's really fast. A bit too fast. Needs some setups for understeer, but it works fine on hairpins.
Bentley Speed 8 '03- I don't really like this car. It moves well, but it seems a little boring. Nice stability and good acceleration. But I like 908 better, because it's fast.
I kinda used like 7 or 8 million credits for these cars, so that's a lot of money. I was satisfied with the Fairlady X and Panoz. I will still keep my Bentley and BMW. Tomorrow, I might go to American dealership, to buy some muscle cars and race cars.

I bought a Abarth 500 In Nero Scorpione - Black with red stripe. For the above time trial event... just 3 basic cars - nothing added to them (Bone stock) aad you have just three laps to post you best time. Three tracks are Circuit Suzuka, Apricot Hills Raceway and Monaco-co-co-co.
The next cars I ned to buy are the Mercury XR-7 Cougar Hg(CNO)2
And the Tommy Kaira ZZII.
(Nice spokes on that Alpine!)

I bought a Necklace of Peerless Smithing for my Skyrim character and then during my log in on GT6, I bought a Chevy Nova and painted it gunmetal metallic and then bought custom wheels and painted them to match......my time on GT6 is currently limited to logging in and customizing a car......hopefully there will be a good update that makes me want to return to playing......Skyrim has cast it's spell and it's really hard not to feel the wanderlust it gives and fall into it's spell.....

Logged into GT6 and bought a Toyota Vitz RS '07. Tuned it a bit, did a lap at willow springs, got bored not ten minutes after, sit and thought how fun it would be if some of the cars I love had the right sound so I can buy them and enjoy them, thought of how much I loved Gran Turismo back in the GT2 era.... and then I just played something else...
I could never find any Peerless Smithing enchanted item. I have to use a Major Smithing Ring, necklace, gauntlets and a potent Smithing potion all together to craft good stuff. Where did you find it? (hoping that I would find it in my game)
And I can understand the Skyrim spell... I got it January of last year and as of last week, I'm still playing it on a regular basis. Getting fired up for ESO online (already pre-ordered!)

I found it on Solstheim in Raven Rock...at the vendor across from the blacksmith....if you have the Dragonborn DLC. I'm currently a level 51 Nord using the gear in my avatar and working on rebuilding sneak after making it legendary 2 days ago....currently sneak is back up to 51.....
I found that having smithing items allow me to upgrade stuff even after it is "legendary"....every time I reach a new "tens" level (30,40,50,etc), I check to see if tempering my legendary stuff will make it better and it usually does.....have to keep buying void salts for my nightingale armor but it's worth it.....my body armor went from 160 to 202 a few days ago after I reached level 50 .....

He often has good stuff. I'll be checking with him more often. But right now I'm in Skyrim doing the Dawnguard questline and going to Solsteim every day with Serana stuck to me complaining of how bright it is outside will be a pain
I have the three expansions. The were worth it 👍 ...except for Hearthfire.I'm level 52, but I've been like that for months now. Not sure about doing the Legendary thing since I have to reset my skills and that will heavily affect me.

Haha, I was thinking I was the only one to play Skyrim here My character is a lvl 113 Breton (+400hours of gameplay, no, i don't have a life, no, i don't care)
Otherwise, i've bought almost all 86GT (FTII Concept, G-Sports Concept, Gazoo Racing...), some useless cars like the Honda Prelude '00 (or '99), RCZ, Opera S2000 and the Alfa Romeo supercar (can't remember this car name...)

I bought a S2000 LM Race Car. Now a long time ago, I said in a thread that the S2000 is a useless car compared to the S2000 LM from GT3. I am actually started to like it. Even though it's not as fast as the father, it's quite fun to drive. I managed to do a 1:57 at Bathurst with it. By the way, mine is blue, don't worry.

I bought a preorder to Metal Gear Solid V : Ground Zeroes today....it looks awesome and the rest of the game should be awesome. Later after doing the log in, I will customize my Avendator to match my Skyrim character....will not be difficult as the Nero Nemesis color matches the Nightingale armor that I'm currently using......
