I bought my car out of compromise - it ticked all my boxes.
- I always wanted a Skyline (Back then I had no clue about a GT-R) - I was 5 at the time
- When I learned about the GT-R - I wanted an R34 GT-R - Strictly as a dream car.
- When I was 19 I was after a V6 commodore/statesman - I needed something reasonably comfortable, reasonably priced, preferably auto for practicality (but yearned for a manual when I wanted to drive sporty), had 4 doors, take on long trips, had good performance all round, good on fuel, reasonable to maintain, something that is not embarrassing to drive and can drive on my Ps.
- non-turbo R34 Skyline 4 door came into view - seemed to have everything I wanted and to top it off it had tiptronic for wank value
It's the best car for what I needed/wanted
I've been off my Ps for over a year now - and there is no way I'll part with my non-turbo skyline - it's the best "all rounder"
Having a turbo is the bees knees - but I've been so happy with my car I've kind of got attached to it
