Japanese term for "mountain pass."

The socal equivalent would be canyon cruises? If so, agree with the NA/NB Miata suggestions.

If it's actually "racing" someone through canyons, get something with better rollover/crash protection. Miata is not the car you want to fly off a canyon in. Or better yet head to a track.

Not entirely sure how the kid is trying to use the term. I'm sure it is some kind of spirited canyon carving like Matt Farrah does?

LOL

The first time I saw that word, all I could think was, "WTF is a 'tooj'?" Then, a little while later (like a few months), I kept hearing "the kids" saying. "tow-gay". So, again, "WTF is a 'tow-gay'?" A little while later (again, about a few months), I finally put the two together, "Ohhhhh... 'toe-geh' as in the Japanese word, "峠 = とうげ = mountain pass".

I had to LOL at myself because it reminded me of the JDM word photographers now use about which I went through the same confused thought process: "bokeh" meaning blurred or softness. People around me kept talking about, "bow-kay". And all I could think was, "WTF do flowers have to do with lens sharpness??"...

I warned him that buying a salvage car is risky, but he is always a lucky man and he want to rely on luck this time. He actually found one with clean title for 11k but he think he can have some good luck on a salvage. We do not racing each other but is overall a fast canyon driving, might faster than Matt.

Genesis is a 2 star car.
The Twins are 4.5 to 5 star car.

Enough said!

Ask your "friend" just to save up to buy decent car.
Another option is to buy an old rwd car for cheap, and fix it up.
It can be an old '90's m3 with engine problems for like $3-4k but with a clean title then use the rest to bring it back to life and upgrades.

Your friend wants a Tofu car not a Touge car.

I've owned a Genesis Coupe and a twin and there is seriously nothing that would make your friend happier if he chose the Genesis Coupe.

I told him the same thing, but it is hard to change his mind.
