My love affair with the Japanese continues....
Say hello to the Toyota Spyder boys. I rode in one before. It's small and really light but my god, can this little devil speed. I remembered climbing out of the car with wobbly legs right after.

And as featured in 2 Fast 2 Furious, the Toyota Celica:
My ex boyfriend decided to buy the car after he saw the movie. I didn't really like it at first. The design is too aggressive and ah beng. And it's not a very fast car unless you get the one with the turbo engine. But I grew to love it after a while and will always have a soft spot for it.

I believe you'll find "Pantera" under "sexy" in some dictionaries, but this is more - sexy with class, sexy with fire, and sexily different
what more could you ask for - an Italian body with American muscle
Wasn't it the car in "Back to the future" as well?
Thought so, but not too sure...

Are you saying you drove a SLK Merc in Singapore?
