Born Again Motoring

Born Again Motoring is where driving dynamics, real-world car ownership, and faith in Jesus Christ share the same road.

I daily an FL5 Civic Type R and C8 Z06, pulling from a history of S2000, RX-7/RX-8, Integra GSR, Mazdaspeed3, WRX STI, FRS/86 and more. Expect POV drives, track days, sim racing (Assetto Corsa), ownership reflections, and honest comparisons between JDM icons, American muscle, and modern supercars.

My “Driving Towards Faith” series features car enthusiasts sharing testimonies about Jesus, plus videos where I recite and reflect on Scripture while driving.

If you’re searching for Civic Type R FL5 content, C8 Z06 POV, S2000 and RX-8 nostalgia, car reviews with integrity, and a Christian perspective in car culture, subscribe and ride along.

It’s time to part ways with the CX-90 PHEV. I tried my best to love this vehicle but the clunky transmission is really a dealbreaker for me. These car the cars on the short list for now. Which one would you consider?

I once owned an RX-8 and even though it was flawed, I loved it. It was a like a 4 door S2000 - it revved to 9000 and chassis was incredible with the handling but it had a fatal flaw - its engine. I loved Rotary engines and understood how to take care of them but before the MSP-13 update from Mazda, I had 2 engines die on me. Still miss that car. I did a carfax on it and apparently it’s out in Utah. Side note, I had that plate before that fast and furious movie existed. That picture is from 2008.

You know I love old car advertisements, this time for the #3000gt #vr4 - back when Mitsubishi was really alive.

Maybe the CX-90 isn’t the most exciting car in my fleet but with ice covering all of DFW, the summer tires on both the Z06 and Type R make this a natural choice. Let’s just say I’m quite impressed on how it handles the conditions. A video is on the way!

What makes a car great? Is it its power? Its reliability? Its utility?
My first car, the FC RX-7 (picture circa 2007) had none of those yet it is still a car that I miss everyday and long to get behind the wheel of again.

Was watching an old episode of ‪@Motorweek‬ and they were reviewing the old Celica GTS and compared it to the 240SX. I love this era of motoring.

Came across this picture, the first Corvette I bought brand new back in 2016. Life was much different back then and this was my first Non-JDM car. I was blown away by its performance and ability to do everything so well. Not sure why I thought it was a good idea to go to the dealership flexin but oh well, I pretty much went everywhere like that.

MY OPINION on the #Toyota #GRGT

I’m glad that Toyota continues to develop performance vehicles. With that being said, I do have reservations about its performance compared to competitors. We’ll see but this is basically their version of a C7Z06, front engine, long hood with near 650 HP. Front engine cars can only do so well without tons of aero and suspension work (see the GTD). I think it’s saving grace is that it’s hood is so long that they can place the engine further behind the front axle, giving it more of a mid engine dynamic, though it looks a little off putting.

I’ve begun editing the next video and it features this 650s. How do you think it stacks up against the Z06?
