The year is 2004, and 15 year old me pops in JDM Insider 2 for the 1st time. One car immediately catches my eyes, the Night Walkers Verossa driven by Tomokazu Hirota. I loved how wild the car looked and how crazy Hirota drove it & I knew I had to have one. Flash forward 19 years later, and I spotted this beautiful Pearl Blue Metallic JZX110 Verossa from FAC (Freee's Auto Customes), and I HAD to have it. Similar to my old S2000, I had no idea this was an OEM color. I then learned that only 19 were ever made!!! With only 1200 turbos produced and 350 5sp, this is a gem!
I've been a Schassis man my entire life, but the opportunity to have this car was too golden not to miss out. I contacted the dealer and did the entire deal myself. It was scary, yes, but I went through with it from all the good feedback I received from people who have worked with FAC. I can not praise them enough for their excellent customer service and openness about any questions I had. I finally own my dream car!
This upcoming spring, I'm traveling to Japan with my wife Sarah and my Mom to see it in person and to do a long overdue tour of Japan. Selling the 180sx was sad, and I love that car, but I had to make this happen. I can't wait to visit my friends in Japan after being away for over a decade! Tokyo, Kyoto, & Osaka/Kansai, here we come in 2024!
